rpiHE progress and development of the United States during the last decade in 
every part of their economy, have been far beyond all possible anticipation. 
The greater number of the old States have acquired, through the increase of their 
population and of every element of prosperity, an entirely new aspect and character, 
but it is, perhaps, chiefly in the Western States and Territories that progress has 
been marked in the most striking manner. This vast portion of our country, 
covering an area of over two millions of square mUes, and which, not very long ago, 
was a Avild and almost an unexplored region, has now a population of nearly twenty 
millions, and produces all our surplus meat and grain, besides one-third of our 
T- anuf actured products. New settlements have been multiplied and extended with, 
unexampled rapidity, and numerous places, some few years ago humble villages, 
are now the marts of an extensive trade. As a natural consequence of this marvelous 
growth, the preparation of the NATIONAL GAZETTEER, with the ambition of 
making it a standard work, rendered it necessary to go over the whole ground with 
most careful and thorough investigation, neglecting no source or means of obtaining 
the newest and most authentic information. 

In the endeavor fully to accomplish all this, the editor and publishers have 
shrunk from no expense nor hesitated at any amount of work. The previous labors 
of the editor peculiarly fitted him for the gigantic task of giving in a concise form 
and with entire accuracy, a full description of the geographical condition of the 
United States, their physical peculiarities and commercial character ; full details of 
above 75,000 places, including every State and Territory, County, Township, City,^ 
Village, Hamlet and Post Office ; of which latter alone, there were 46,893 in 1882. 

All these places have received a thorough and exhaustive description, drawn 
from the most reliable and newest sources ; their position, means of inter-communi- 
cation, railroads, rivers, canals; their agricultural, commercial and manufacturing 
status, history and population, all being accurately given, well defined and lucidly 
explained for ready comprehension. To accomplish this has required on the part of 



PREFACE. 



the editor and a large staff of experienced and fully qualified assistants, the arduous 
and unremitting labor of several years. Every document has been scrutinized, 
every item of information submitted to the most searching examination, and the 
result will be found, the editor hopes with full confidence, to be a work hitherto 
unrivaled in extent of valuable information and general accuracy, making it the 
standard authority on the subjects of its pages. 

The sources whence this information has been laboriously drawn are mainly the 
National Census of 1880, of which the NATIONAL GAZETTEER may be said to 
be the sequence and full illustration; the Official Postal Guide of 1882; the last Re- 
ports of the Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of the Interior, Commissioner of 
Agriculture, Commissioner of Education,Commissioner of Indian Affairs, et cetera; the 
Reports of the Chief of the Bureau of Statistics on the Commerce and Navigation of 
the United States for the fiscal year, 1882 ; the Report of the Postmaster General of 
the United States ; the Reports of the Director of the Mint, of the Commissioner of 
Internal Revenue, of the Comptroller of the Currency; the Reports of the Chambers 
of Commerce and Boards of Trade of all the commercial and manufacturing cities, 
the general and local gazetteers of former dates ; journals of the most intelligent 
tourists ; guide books, railway guides, maps and other works, geographical, 
geological and statistical, from which appropriate information could be derived. 
Fresh and vei'y valuable information has also been obtained by way of a voluminous 
correspondence with postmasters, editors of local papers, and others, to all of whom 
the editor of the NATIONAL GAZETTEER respectfully acknowledges himself 
largely indebted. 

It would, perhaps, sound pretentious on the editor's part were he to claim 
mhsolute immunity from errors, which will occur in the most carefully prepared 
woik ; but he can truly declare that he has employed his best energies under some 
peculiar advantages, to the accomplishment of his plans. In all the toil of this 
arduous and protracted undertaking, he has been mucti sustained and animated by 
the hope of rendering a valuable service to the community, and of contributing, in 
no small degree, to illustrate the prosperity and glory of a people whose advance in 
all the elements of a free civilization has become the admiration of the World.

A GENERAL VIEW 



UNITED STATES. 



THE following work professes to exhibit in detail the several parts, even to the most minute, of the 
American Union, in a view at once geographical, civil, and commercial. But before entering into the 
description of the multifarious limbs of this vast body, it is necessary briefly to dwell on its topography, 
institutions, productions, and manufactures. 

The United States of America occupy the central part of North America. On the N., from the 
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, it is bounded by the Dominion of Canada, the line of separation at the ex- 
treme N. W. being so drawn as to exclude Vancouver's Island, but to include the islands of the San Juao 
group. On the S. is the Gulf of Mexico, as far as to the mouth of the Rio Bravo del Norte, which consti- 
tutes the limit between the republic of Mexico and the United States in that quarter, as far as to the 32d 
degree of N. latitude, whence it takes a western course until it strikes a branch of the river Gila, which it 
follows to its entrance into the Rio Colorado, at the head of the Gulf of California. Thence it crosses 
over Southern California to the Pacific Ocean, at a point ten miles S. of San Diego. The E. and W. 
boundaries are the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The territory embraced within these limits embodies an 
area of 3,025,600 sq. m. In addition to this, the U. States possess the territory of Alaska, with an area of 
577,390 sq. m. This brings the total area up to 3,602,990 sq. m. Alaska being detached, we shall omit it 
here, and confine our remarks within the limits above mentioned. 

The greatest length of this region, from Cape Cod on the Atlantic to the Pacific near the 42d parallel, 
is 2,650 m., and the greatest breadth, from the N. W. extremity of Minnesota to the southernmost point 
of Texas, 1,600 m. Its geographical position is eminently fitted for the growth and rapid development of 
a great and powerful people. Such an extent in latitude must stretch, of course, through very different 
climates ; so that nearly every variety of temperature, and of animal, vegetable, and mineral productions 
will be included. And these have actually been found, not, indeed, in all respects, but for by far the 
greater number, similar to those of Europe and Asia. 

With the exception of a small portion of the N. E. coast, the shores of the Atlantic and Gulf are low 
while those of the Pacific are mostly bold and rocky. The eastern coast is filled with numerous bays and 
roadsteads, which present every facility for commercial intercourse with Europe ; while the western shores 
open their harbors and inlets to the rich traffic of Asia and Oceanica. The length of coast-line, not includ- 
ing indentations of the land, according to the U. States coast survey, is 5,715 m., viz.: 2,349 m. on the 
Atlantic, 1,566 on the Gulf of Mexico, and 1,810 on the Pacific. The principal branch of the sea extend- 
ing into the land are the Chesapeake, Delaware and Massachusetts bays, and Albemarle and Pamlico 
sounds on the Atlantic coast, and the Bay of San Francisco and the Strait of Fuca on the Pacific coast. The 
principal bodies of land projecting into the sea are the peninsulas of Florida on the S. E. and Cape Cod 
on the N. E., both extending into the Atlantic Ocean. Numerous islands are scattered along the various 
coasts of the U. States, nearly aM of which give evidence, both by their geological structure and their 
position, that they were once a part of the main land, and have been separated from it by a convulsion of 
nature or by the action of the waters of rivers and of the ocean. The islands of the Atlantic coast, N. of 
Cape Cod, are mostly high and rocky, being of granite formation. Those S. of Cape Cod on the same 
coast are generally low and sandy. Long Island, E. of New York, is the largest, and contains an area of 
1,682 sq. m. On the Pacific coast the principal islands are the Santa Barbara Islands, which are barren and 
rocky, but contain several good harbors. 

The skeleton of the U. States is represented by two great systems of mounta iu ranges, the Rocky 
Mountains in the W. and the Appalachian or Alleghany chain in the E., between wh h is the extensive 
and fertile Mississippi valley. The Rocky mountain system is a part of the great A . erican chain which 
extends from the Arctic Ocean to the most S. point of South America. Its two main chains in the U. 
States are the Rocky mountains proper, extending through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Mon-

tana, and the Sierra Nevada in California, with its extension, the Cascade range in Oregon and Washing- 
ton Territory. Between these two chains is a plateau, crossed by numerous mountain ranges, which 
through its center E. and W. is from 4,000 to 5,000 ft. high, falling off toward the N. and S. from that line. 
The Wahsatcli mountains are the most important range of the plateau. They extend S. and S. W. through 
Utah and S. E. Nevada, and form the E. rim of the Great Basin, the W. rim being the Sierra Nevada. 
They rise from 4,000 to 6,000 ft. above the plateau, Mt. Nebo being 11,992 ft. high. The Blue mountains 
in E. Oregon are little known. The most elevated portion of the plateau is between the Wahsatch and 
Rocky mountains, and embraces the Colorado " parks" and the Laramie plains in Wyoming. The aver- 
age elevation here is from 7,000 to 9,000 ft., being greatest on the N. edge of the South park, whence there 
is a gentle decline in either direction. The loftiest portions of the Rocky mountains is in Colorado, where 
there are many peaks upward of 14,000 ft. high. The Wind River mountains in N. W. Wyoming, and the 
Bitter Root mountains, forming part of the boundary between Idaho and Montana, are important spurs of 
this chain. In the Wind River mountains rise the Missouri river, the Green luver, forming the main branch 
of the Colorado of the West, and the Snake, one of the main branches of the Columbia. The Black Hills, 
on the border of Wyoming and Dakota, may be considered an outlying group of the Rocky mountains. 
The Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountains run nearly parallel with the Pacific coast, from 100 to 150 m. 
from it. In the former are several peaks more than 14,000 ft. high, Mt. Whitney (14,887 ft.) being the 
highest in the U. States. The Coast range is the westernmost of the Rocky mountain system, running 
through California, Oregon, and Washington territory, at a distance of from 10 to 50 m. from the coast. 
It averages from 2,000 to 3,000 ft. in height, but a few peaks rise more than twice as high. The Rocky 
mountain system embraces an area of nearly 1,000,000 sq. m. It is widest between the 36th and 41st par- 
allels, where the breadth is from 800 to 1,000 m. It is lowest along the 32d parallel, where the greatest 
elevation is not more than 4,000 ft. The Appalachian chain extends S. W. from Canada to Alabama. It 
includes among other ranges the Green mountains in Vermont, the Catskills in New York, the Blue Ridge 
in Virginia, the Black mountains in North Carolina, and, as outlying spurs, the White mountains in New 
Hampshire and the Adirondacks in New York. The loftiest peak of the chain is the Black Dome in the 
Black mountains, 6,707 ft. The Atlantic slope, between the Appalachians and the ocean, is in general 
hilly, with level tracts near the shore, particularly in the south. 

The rivers of the U. States may be comprised in four distinct classes. The first consists of innumer- 
able streams, many of them very short, emptying into the great lakes from Superior to Ontario, with which 
may here, for convenience, be associated the streams emptying into the river St. Lawrence and those run- 
ning N. into British America. Of the last by far the most important is the Red River of the North, which 
empties into Lake Winnipeg in Canada. The whole river system thus composed embraces 184,339 sq. m. 
of the territory of the U. States, lying between the 71st and 104th degrees of Ion. W. The second class 
comprises all those streams which flow eastward or southward to the Atlantic. This division covers the 
total eastern side of the U. States, extending from 47° 15' to 25° 15' in latitude, and covers an estimated 
area of 304,538 sq. m. The most important rivers of this division, which embraces more than one-third 
the population of the U. States, are the Penobscot, Kennebec, Androscoggin, Merrimack, Connecticut, 
Hudson, Delaware, Susquehanna, Potomac, Rappahannock, James, Roanoke, Neuse, Cape Fear, Pedee, 
Santce, Edisto, Savannah, Ogeechee, Altamaha, Saltilla, and St. Johns. The third grand class embraces 
the Mississippi system, and also the rivers of Western Georgia, Western Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, 
Louisiana, and Texas, which emptj' into the Gulf of Mexico. The total area of this division is computed 
at 1,683,303 sq. m., of which 1,257,545 are drained by the Mississippi and its tributaries, the principal of 
which are the Missouri, the Ohio, the Arkansas, and the Red. Of the rivers in this class emptying directly 
into the Gulf, the most important are the Suwanee, Apalachicola, Mobile, Pearl, Sabine, Trinity, Brazos, 
Colorado (of Texas), Guadalupe, and Nueces, the Rio Grande del Norte forming for a considerable part of 
its course the southwestern boundary of the U. States. The fourth grand class embraces the Great Inte- 
rior Basin, without outlet to the sea, between the Rocky mountains and the Sierra Nevada (210,274 sq. m.), 
and the l)asins of the Columbia, the Klamath, the Sacramento and San Joaquin, and the Colorado, as well 
as the tracts drained by smaller streams flowing into the Pacific. The total area is 854,314 sfj. m. Few 
countries in the world contain so many lakes as the U. States, though these are principally confined to the 
northern portion. Of the five great lakes, as they are called, the largest bodies of fresh water on the 
globe, with perhaps the exception of the newly discovered and imperfectly known lakes in the interior of 
Africa, four, viz., Superior, Huron, Erie, and Ontario, lie on the northern border, partly in the U. States 
and partly in British America, while Lake Michigan is wholly within the territory of the republic. The 
value of these lakes to the commerce of the U. States can scarcely be over-estimated, as they form, in con- 
nection with the St. Lawrence river, a natural outlet for one of the richest grain producing countries in 
the world. A vessel of six hundred tons burden can be loaded with grain at Chicago and taken to Liver- 
pool, getting around Niagara Falls by the use of the Wellaud Canal. 

Except in the extreme South and on the Pacific coast, the climate of the U. States is characterized by

fickleness and by great difEereuce iu temperature between Summer and Winter. Transitions from heat 
to cold and from cold to heat, to the extent of 30° iu a few hours, are common at all seasons, and the 
alternations from rain to drought are nearly as remarkable. The Summer is marked by intense heat, the 
thermometer rising sometimes several degrees above 100° F. In the North this e.ftreme is seldom 'con- 
tinued for more than a few days at a time, and in the Southern States the heat, though long continued, is 
seldom so great. Iu Winter the thermometer often falls below zero in the North, and it has been known, 
particularly in Minnesota and Dakota, to reach the freezing point of mercury ( — 40°). The Atlantic 
States have in general a temperature about 10° more severe than countries of the same latitude in west- 
ern Europe, while California has a climate as mild as that of Italy. The Northeastern States are subject 
to chill winds from the Atlantic (and at points along the coast to fogs), especially in the Spring months ; 
and the ice fields of British North America are the cradle of cold blasts which, having no mountain bar- 
rier to overcome, sweep over the Northern States upon every considerable rise in the temperature further 
South. The great lakes mitigate to some extent the temperature of the country surrounding them, and 
other local features, such as the elevated plains and lofty ranges of the Rocky mountain system, affect 
the climate of particular parts of the country. The average annual temperature varies from 76° in S. 
Florida to 36° in N.E. Minnesota. The isothermal lines are irregular, but between the Pacific and the 
upper Mississippi they have a general tendency toward the North. On the Pacific coast the annual tem- 
perature of 52° in lat. 48° corresponds to a like temperature on the Atlantic coast in lat. 41°. Rain is 
abundant over the greater part of the republic, and pretty equally distributed thi'oughout the year. In 
the North Atlantic States the fall is more regular than in the coast States S. of Washington, being iu the 
latter more plentiful than iu the former, and more frequent in Summer than in Winter. On the Pacific 
coast the rains are periodical, occurring chiefly in Winter and Spring, and S. of lat. 40° in Autumn also. 
In the Northern States snow frequently falls to a considerable depth, and in the most northerly portions it 
does not melt until Spring. It is comparatively rare S. of the Potomac and on the Pacific coast, and 
when it does occur in these districts it lasts but a short time. The storms of the U. States seem to take 
their rise in the vast plain which lies immediately to the E. of the Rocky Mountains, and then generally 
advance in an E.N. easterly direction across the country. The direction has been observed to vary from 
about due east to north 54° E. When a great storm springs up near the Mississippi, the wind at St. 
Louis is generally easterly, while throughout New York and Ohio the wind is from the West. Subse- 
quently this easterly wind is felt at Cincinnati, then at Pittsburg, and afterward at New York, while the 
entire storm is traveling steadily eastward — that is, the easterly wind is propagated from St. Louis to New 
York in a direction opposite to that in which the wind in the district over which it passes is blowing be- 
fore its arrival. The rate at which a storm thus travels varies from zero to 44 m. per hour. It generally 
makes the distance from St. Louis to New York in about 24 hours, and from New York to Newfoundland 
in auother 24 hours. When a storm in North America is stationary, or nearly so, its form — that is the 
area occupied by it — is nearly circular ; but when it travels rapidly, it takes an oval form, with the longest 
axis at right angles to its onward course. The Winter storms of the U. States are therefore said to move 
sideways. As rain and snow are produced under circumstances exactly alike, with the exception of tem- 
perature, tht same storm frequently furnishes snow in the northern part of the U. States and rain in the 
southern part. After the center of the storm has passed, a west wind springs up at St. Louis, and is felt 
successively at Cincinnati, Pittsburg, and finally at New York, having been propagated in the same direc- 
tion as that in which the wind was blowing in the district passed over by the storm before the latter ar- 
rived. 

The varied physical aspects of the country indicate a corresponding varied vegetation. E. of the 
Rocky Mountains, a broad and treeless belt, known as "the Plains," separates two very different forest 
floras, only two species being common to both, neither of them of much importance. E. of the Plains 
the larger number of species are deciduous, or at least broad-leaved ; and the entire region, excepting 
the prairies of the West, was originally forest-clad. But while deciduous species predominate, there are 
extensive pine forests from Louisiana to Maine, and some of the coniferous lumber produced has an 
almost world-wide fame. Along the Appalachians, from New Hampshire to Alabama, a larger number 
of valuable hard woods occur than is known to any other temperate climate. The Ohio Valley is known 
commercially for the size and excellence of some of its deciduous trees, notably black walnut, tulip, 
bass, and ash, while Florida is equally noted for its live-oak. In Southern Florida are many truly tropical 
forms, interesting to the botanist, but not sutRciently abundant to be of special economic importance. 
Over the regions W. of the Plains extensive forests occur only on the mountains or near the sea, and 
when found are essentially of Conifene. Broad-leaved trees occur in this region, sometimes in consider- 
able abundance, particularly iu the western and southern portions, but they are usually scattered, and 
never form an important forest element. Conspicuous among these are the cottonwood along streams, 
the mesquite of the southern parts, and several species of California and Oregon trees. Among the 
latter, several oaks, the madrofia, laurel, Oregon ash, and the great-leaved maple are of most value, some 
growing to a great size and being of wondrous beauty. Along the western flanks of the Cascades and 
Sierra Nevada, and also near the coast from Cape Mendocino northward, are perhaps the heaviest forests 
on the globe. They are entirely of Coniferee. Trees of 200 feet high are in vast abundance ; trees 300 
feet high and 10 to 15 feet in diameter not being rare. All these figures are often exceeded. W. of the 
Rocky Mountains many plains and slopes, and even mountains, which are destitute of timber, are never- 
theless abundantly and often densely clothed with shrubs. 

The U. States is a Federal Republic. Its national existence commenced July 4th, 1776, when the dele- 
gates from the 13 original States, in Congress assembled at Philadelphia, declared that " these united col- 
onies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States." After a 7 years' war with Great Bri- 
tain, a preliminary treaty of peace was signed in Paris, November 20, 1782, and on the 3d of Septembei-, 
1783, a definitive ti-eaty was signed at Versailles, by which Great Britain formally acknowledged the 
U.States to be free, sovereign and independent. In May, 1787, delegates of all the States, except Rhode 
Island, assembled in general convention at Philadelphia, and after several months of peaceful deliberation 
agreed upon the plan of government which now forms the Constitution of the U. States. Over a year 
•elapsed before the Constitution, which has secured the prosperity of the nation, and stands as a model 
for other nations in the pursuit of freedom, received the ratification of a sufficient number of States to 
give it a political existence, and nearly three years before it received the unanimous ratification of all the 



16

States and thus became, March 4th, 1789, the supreme law of the land. The original 13 States which 
adopted the Constitution were New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, 
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. 
In 1803, Louisiana was purchased from the French for $15,000,000. Florida was ceded to the U. States by 
Spain, in compensation for spoliations on American Commerce, for $5,000,000. The annexation of Texas 
in 1845, led to a war with Mexico. By the treaty of peace which followed, Feb. 2d, 1848, Mexico granted 
to the U. States the line of the Rio Grande as a boundary and also ceded New Mexico and California. 
The U. States agreed to pay Mexico $15,000,000, and certain debts due by Mexico to Americans not ex- 
ceeding in amount $3,500,000. In 1867, Alaska was purchased of Russia for $7,200,000. The actual num- 
ber of States is 38, in addition to which there are 8 Territories with organized government ; the District 
of Columbia, the seat of government , the unorganized Territory of Alaska ; and the Indian Territory. 
These constitute the political divisions of the U. States. The following table shows the date of ratifica- 
tion of the constitution by each of the 13 original States and the date of admission of each of the other 
States mto the Union ; the total population, and its division in males and females, white and black, and

In rapid increase of population (see pages 38 and 39), the U. States has surpassed all other nations. This 
wonderful progress is in part attributed to natural increase by excess of births over deaths among the 
native population, but mostly to immigration. Still the current of emigration to America during the 170 
years of the colonial history was slow and tedious when compared with that which commenced after the 
war of independence, and especially when the success of American institutions had been tested by the 
experience of one generation. Since the formation of the government, the U. States has been the 
principal point of emigration from Europe, owing chietly to the advantages presented to the laboring 
classes, who constitute the great bulk of emigrants. From 1783 to 1820, year in which immigration began 
to be officially recorded, it has been estimated that the whole number of aliens coming to the TJ. 
States was about 250,000. The number of foreign-born passengers arriving in the ports of the V . States in 1820 
was 8,385 , in 1825, 10,199 ; in 1830, 23,322 ; in 1835, 45,374 ; in 1840, 84,066 ; in 1845, 114,371 ; in 1850, 369,-

in 1881, 669,431 ; in 1882, 788,992— immigration during each of the two years last named surpassing that of 
any ))revious years in the history of the country. The following table shows the whole number of immi-

To these might be added many thousand persons who came from Canada, and of whom no record is 
made. According to the census of 1880, in 31 States and Territories, in the past decade, natural increase 
has gained upon immigration, while in 12 the reverse is the case ; but in the U. States as a whole there 
is a relative decrease of the foreign element. 

The Government of the U. States is one of limited powers, all authority not delegated to it by the 
Constitution being reserved to the States severally or to the people. It consists of three branches — the 
executive, the legislative and the judicial. The executive power is vested in a President, who, with a Vice- 
President, is elected for a period of four years by a college of electors chosen for that purpose by the peo- 
ple of the several States, each State returning as many electors as it has Senators and representatives in 
Congress. The electors are chosen by popular vote at an election held every four years on the Tuesday 
next after the first Monday in November. The electors thus chosen meet in each State on the first Wed- 
nesday in December, and cast their votes for President and Vice-President. The certificates of these 
votes are opened by the president of the Senate on the second Wednesday of February in the presence of 
the two Houses of Congress, when the votes are counted and the result declared. The official term of 
the officer declared elected begins on the 4th of March following. In case of the removal, death, resigna- 
tion or inability of the President, the Vice-President succeeds to his office. When there is no election of 
President by the people from the fact that no candidate has a majority of the electoral votes, the House 
of Representatives chooses a President from the three having the highest number of votes, the representa- 
tives of each State together casting one vote. The President may be removed on impeachment for high 
crimes and misdemeanors. He is commander-in-chief of the army and navy, and of the militia of the 
several States when called into the service of the general government. With the advice of the Senate he 
has power to make treaties, appoint ambassadors, judges of the Supreme Court, and other public officers 
of the U. States whose appointment is not otherwise provided for by the Constitution. The Presi- 
dent and Vice-President must be native-born citizens, thirty-five years of age, and fourteen years resident 
within the United States. The President is assisted by a cabinet of seven ministers, called the Secretaries 
of State, of the Treasury, of the Interior, of War and of the Navy, the Attorney-General and the Post- 
master-General. These are the heads of the seven executive departments of the government, who are 
nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Annual reports are made to Congress, through 
the President, by the chiefs of the departments above named, communicating all important facts respect- 
ing the commercial, financial and economic transactions of the whole country at home and abroad. The 
legislative branch of the government consists of a Congress, composed of a Senate and House of Repre- 
sentatives. The Senate consists of two Senators from each State chosen by the respective legislatures for 
six years, and the body is so divided as to the times of election that one-third of the whole number goes 
out of office every two years. The Vice-President of the United States is the president of the Senate 
ex-oJ?6'io, and the Senate elects a president p?'o fettywre to serve in his absence. A Senator must be thirty 
years of age, nine years a citizen of the United States, and at the time of his election resident within the 
State for which he is chosen. The House of Representatives is composed of members chosen for two 
years by the people of each State. They must be twenty-five years of age, and have been citizens of the 
United States seven years, and at the time of their election resident within the States for which they are 
chosen. The number of members of this body is determined by law, and they are apportioned among the 
several States according to their representative population. The number of representatives in Congress 
and of electoral votes of each State are fixed by the law of 1882, as follows :

A GENERAL VIEW OF THE UNITED STATES. 



States, to borrow money, to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several States, to coin 
money, to provide for the common defence and general welfare, to declare war, to originate all bills re- 
lating to revenue, and to exercise exclusive jurisdiction over the District of Columbia. Congress can 
make no law for an establishment of religion or for prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or for abridging 
the freedom of speech or of the pres?, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition 
the government for a redress of grievances. The judicial branch of the government consists of a Supreme 
Court, with a Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices, Circuit Courts, District Courts, and the Court of 
Claims. There are also the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia and the Territorial Courts. The 
Judges of all the Federal Courts are appointed for life by the President, with the consent of the Senate, 
but they may be removed for cause. Besides these Federal Courts and J udges each State has its own in- 
dei)eudent Judiciary. The executive power of each organized Territory is vested in a Governor, appoint- 
ed for four years by the President, with the consent of the Senate. A Secretary is appointed for the same 
period in the same manner. The Legislative power consists of a Council and- House of Representatives, 
chosen by the people for two years. A delegate to Congress is elected by the people in each Territory for 
two years, who is entitled to speak in the House, but not to vote. Each individual State has a govern- 
ment for the regulation of local and internal affairs, consisting of a Governor, Senate and House of Rep- 
resentatives. All powers not expressly granted by the Constitution to the Federal Government, nor pro- 
hibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively. The form of government in the several 
States is and must be republican, and substantially the same, differing only in unimportant details of 
their Constitution, such as the duration of terms of oflSce, the mode of appointing Judges of the several 
Courts, and the amount of their salaries. The territory of all the States is divided into counties, having 
in each courts of justice and such local officers as the common interests demand. In many of the States 
the counties are divided into townships, averaging six or eight miles square, which form important civil 
districts and corporations. The larger towns are incorporated as cities and boroughs, which have muni- 
cipal governments. 

The Army Department is in charge of a Secretary. The army is mainly employed in keeping up the 
fortifications on the coast and lakes, in watching the movements of hostile and suspected Indians, and in 
guarding the Mexican frontier. It is limited by law to 25,000 enlisted men ; the term of service is three 
years. The highest oflicers consist of a General, a Lieutenant-General, three Major-Generals, six Brigadier- 
Generals and seven Chiefs of Departments, with the rank of Brigadier-General. The total enlisted force of 
the army, in 1883, was 23,596 men. There were 120 companies of cavalry, 60 of artillery, and 250 of 
infantry. One hundred and two signal-stations are maintained for recording meteoric changes and giving 
warning, for the benefit of commerce and agriculture, of the approach of storms. The protection and 
improvement of rivers and harbors are directed by the Engineer Department of the Army under authority 
of Congress. The Arsenals of the U. States are located at Kennebec, Watertown, Springfield, Mass., Al- 
leghany, Watervliet, Fort Monroe, Augusta, Ga., Washington, Pikesville, Frankford, Detroit, Columbus, 
Indianapolis, St. Louis, Rock Island, and Benicia. The Military Academy is situated at West Point. On 
graduation the cadets are appointed to second lieutenancies in the army. By the Constitution, Congress 
has power to jjrovide for calling forth the militia of the several States to execute the laws of the Union, 
suppress iusurrcctions, and repel invasions, and also for the organizing, arming and disciplining the 
militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the States ; to the 
States respectively being reserved the appointment of officers and the authority of training the militia ac- 
cording to the discipline prescribed by Congress. The President is Commander-in-Chief of the militia 
when called into the actual service of the U. States. The actual expenditures under the War Depart- 
ment for the year 1882 were $44,889,725.42. 

The Navy Department is also a distinct executive branch, headed by a secretary. The naval force 
on the navy list, in 1882, comprised 140 vessels, 25 of which were mere tugs, with a large number of others 
entirely useless, and which could not, without a great expenditure of money, be made fit for semce. 
The bad condition of this important arm of the national service, quite unworthy of a great nation, has of 
late excited public attention to a large extent. The chief officers on the active list are 1 admiral, 1 vice- 
admiral, 12 rear admirals, 25 commodores, 50 captains and 90 commanders. The amount of appropriations 
available for the year 1882 was $14,874,267.55. 

Finances. The public debt of the U. States has chiefly accrued in consequence of the civil war. In 
1858 it only amounted to $58,496,837 ; it reached its maximum in 1866, amounting then to $2,680,647,869, 
successively reduced to $2,480,672,427 in 1870. The followmg table prepared in the office of the Secretary 
of the Treasury, shows its rapid and stead}' reduction in each year from 1871 to 1882, inclusive :

The amount of U. States bonds which are now due and paj'able at the pleasure of the government are 

as follows : 

Fives continued at three and a half jier cent $155 355 350 

Threes 259!37o',500 

Total 414,726,850 

Those which next become redeemable are the four and a half per cents., which may be paid Septem- 
ber 1, 1891 $350,000,000 

Lastly, the four per cents., redeemable July 1, 1907 738,929,600 

To which add refunding certificates 433,750 

Making 739,353,350 



The amount of the funded debt redeemable at any time before September 1, 1891, which will remain 
unpaid on the 30th of June, 1883, is about $300,000,000, and upon the following returns of revenues and 
expenditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, the whole funded debt now redeemable could be 
paid before June 30, 1886. This would leave as the surplus for more than five years the amount of 
$600,000,000, undisposed of in the Treasury, unless the reduction of taxation on national banks, tobacco, 
etc., made in 1883, be followed by more important reductions on custom duties. The amount of the loan 
redeemable in 1891, is only $350,000,000, and, as has been stated, no other loan becomes redeemable until 
1907, so that the annual surplus, supposing it to be only $75,000,000, will rapidly increase until that date. 
The amount of the loan of 1907, as already appears, is less than $740,000,000, so that, were it all redeemable, 
the whole public debt could be paid from a surplus a? great as estimated early in the fiscal year ending 
June 30, 1894. It has not often occurred in public financial history that embarrassment has arisen through 
superabundance of revenues. The condition of the country in that respect, illustrates its almost boundless 
resources, and establishes its credit beyond a question. 

The ordinary revenues from all sources for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1882, were : 

From customs $320,410,730 25 

From internal revenue 146,497,595 45 

From sales of public lands 4,753,140 37 

From tax on circulation and deposits of national banks 8,956,794 45

Tke Past- Office Department is under the direction of the Postmaster-General. No other nation has a 
post-office system so extensive as that of the U. States. In 1882 there was in operation 11,098 mail routes (of 
which 11,013 were upon railways), aggregating in length 343,618 miles. The entire cost of the postal ser- 
vice for the year stated was $40,482,021, and the gross revenues were $41,876,410, leaving a net surplus of 
$1,394,789. The total number of post-offices in operation in 1870 was 38,492, increased to 46,231 in 1882— 
all given in the present work. 

Education. There isno national system of education in the U. States, and the general government ex- 
ercises no control over the common schools and makes no regular provision for their support, but Con- 
gress has from tim6 to time made liberal provision for educational purposes by grants of land to the several 
States. The only educational institutions which are wholly supported and controlled by the government 
are the military academy at West Point, N.Y., the school of artillery at Fortress Monroe, Va., and the 
naval academy at Annapolis, Md. The general government has from time to time encouraged the estab- 
lishment of common schools in the new States by large grants of land, and by the same means has pro- 
vided for higher institutions by the endowment of a college in each State for instruction in agriculture and 
mechanic arts. The organization and control of these institutions is given to the respective States, and 
many of them are now in operation. For these institutions and for common schools, more than 75,000,000 
acres of land have been appropriated by the government. The expenditures for public schools in the 
several States and Territories for the year 1882 amounted to $84,913,834. 

Railkoabs. The first railroad in America was built in 1826 ; it was a tram-road of 4 miles, used for the 
transportation of granite to the harbor of Boston. Another tram-road of 4 miles was built in 1827, for the 
transportation of coal from the pit's mouth, near Mauch Chunk to the Lehigh Canal. In 1828 the attempt 
was first made to construct a railroad adajitod alike to the transportation of passengers and freight. The 
Erie Canal had cut off the trade which Philadelphia and Baltimore had hitherto received from the West ; 
and as the project of a canal from the city of Baltimore to the Ohio was regarded by many as impracticable, 
the merchants of that city, in 1827, procured the charter of the present Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. On 
the 4th of July, 1828, its construction was begun, and on the 2d day of May, 1830, the first section of 
15 miles, to Ellicott's Mills, was opened. Like all others constructed at that time, it was an unsubstantial 
structure, with longitudinal sills, on which was placed a thin bar or strap of iron. Although locomotive 
engines had obtained some use in England, this road contirmed for nearly a year after its opening to be 
operated by horse power. The first locomotive ever used in the U. States, was one imported from Eng- 
land in 1829., constructed at Stourbridge, and called the " Stourbridge Lion." This engine was imported 
for use upon the Carbondale and Honesdale Railroad, belonging to the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com- 
pany, and extending from their canal toward the mines. The tirst experimental trip was made by it on 
the 8th of August, 1829. The Stourbridge Lion was found too heavy for the track, and it consequently 
had to be abandoned. The first locomotive built in the U. States, and the second ever in use in it, was 
made at the West Point Foundry Works in New York, in 1830. It was called " The Best Friend of Charles- 
ton," having been built for use on the South Carolina Railroad, theu in process of construction. It was 
placed on the road Nov. 2, 1830. It has been already referred to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which 
jireceded all others in point of time. The next important one was the South Carolina, begun in 1830, and 
opened for traffic in 1833 for its whole length (135 m.). At that time it was the longest contimious line of 
railroad in the world. The construction of trhe Mohawk and Hudson, now a part of the New York Cen- 
tral, was begun in 1830. It was opened (17 m.) in 1831. In New Jeisey, that portion of the Camden and 
Amboy extending from Bordentown to Hightstown (14 m.) was opened on the 22d of December, 1830, and 
between Hightstown and South Amboy (47i m.)in 1834. In Pennsylvania, a considerable extent of line for 
the trans])ortation of coal had been constructed previous to 1835. In 1834 the Philadelphia and (Columbia 
(82 m.) and the portage Railroad (36 m.), were opened. Their completion gave that State a continuous 
line, made up of canal and railroads, from Philadelphia to the Ohio R. at Pittsburg. In Massachusetts, 
in 1835, the Boston and Woi-cester Railroad (44 m.), the Boston and Providence (41 m.), and the Boston 
and Lowell (26 m.), were all opened for business. The total extent of mileage in operation in all the States 
at the close of the year 1835 was 1,098 m. The superstructure of the railroads tirst constructed was a longi- 
tudinal sill, the rail or strap of iron laid upon it, serving to prevent the abrasion of the wood rather than 
to support the train. Of course, until the wooden sill gave place to the heavy iron rail, no considerable 
rate of speed or amount of traffic was i)ossible. The change from wood to iron was a very gradual one. 
It was not until 1850 that the longitudinal sill and flat rail were entirely removed from the Utica and Sche- 
nectady, the most important link in the New York Central line. The Erie a!id the Hudson River Railroads 
were opened in 1851. The first line of railroads undertaken in the great interior basin of the country was 
the Mad River of Ohio, now a part of the Cincinnati, Sandusky and Cleveland. The Mississipjn River was 
reached in 1854 by the Chicago & Rock Island Railroad, aiidtlie Missouri in 1859 by the Hannibal & St. 
Joseph. Their extension was followed in 1860 hyaline tlirungh Iowa, an extension of the (iaiena & 
Chicago to Council Bluffs, and to a connection at that point with the Union Pacific. That gri^at work was 
opened May 10, 1869, and, in connection with the Central Pacific, completed the grand line of railway, the

crowning achievement of our people, from ocean to ocean. The great trunk lines being put in, they were 
speedily connected by other lines, so as now to form a net-work whose meshes are so numerous as to 
give every farmer in the West a market at its own door. The table on pages 36 and 37, shows the mileage, 
capitalj cost and revenue of all the railroads in the U . States in 1880. 

MiNEKAL ANT) METALLIC PRODUCTS. There is scarcely a metal or mineral used in the arts or known 
to science which may not be found in the U. States, chiefly West of the Rocky Mountains, and generally 
in greater abundance than in any other country. Scarcely any precious stones, however, have been found. 
A single diamond has been discovered in Rutherford county, North Carolina, and it is said that some of 
these gems have been found in California. Topaz occurs at Monroe in Connecticut, cTialcedonj'^ in many 
localities, and agates and carnelians are numerous along the banks of the Upper Mississippi and the shores 
of Lake Superior. The more valuable precious stones, however, the ruby, the emerald, etc., have not 
yet been found. 

Gold and Silver. Gold has been obtained for many years from a metalliferous belt which extends 
along the eastern oase of the Alleghanies from Northern New England to Georgia, the southern portion 
being the most productive. Native gold began to appear in the mint at Philadelphia in 1824, and the 
receipts increased rapidly, so that in a few years it constituted the principal supply of this metal. The value of 
the gold mined annually in Virginia, North and South Carolina and Georgia, averaged about ^1,000,000 ; 
but when the discovery of gold in California in 1848 was announced, most of the "placer" deposits and 
many of the veins in the South were abandoned. The California gold-field extends almost continuously 
over seven degrees of latitude, and in no portion of this territory have mines been completely exhausted. 
Nevada and Colorado are scarcely second to California in their mineral wealth, and the Nevada silver 
mines are particularly of extraordinary richness. Chains of silver mines are found also in Arizona, Idaho, 
New Mexico, Utah, Montana and Wyoming. Gold is also found in these territories, and in Oregon, Wash- 
ington and Alaska. The discovery of gold in California and other regions west of the Rocky Mts., led to 
great activity in mining industry, the effects of which have been felt not only in the U. States, but in all 
the world. There are thousands of mines scattered over an area embracing more than half the territory 
of the U. States, each yielding annually more or less gold and silver. Complete statistics of the aggregate 
production of all these mines are secured with difficulty. The following is the estimated production of 
the different States and Territories, as siven by the director of the mint in his report for the year ending 
June 30, 1880.

Coal. The coal-beds of the U. States are more extensive than those of any other part of the world 
The coal is of two kinds, viz., anthracite and bitummous. The extent ox the coal-fields has been estimated 
at 291,485 sq. m. as certain, with the strong probability of the existence of 333,000 sq. m. in addition in the 
West. If we admit the correctness of this last estimate — and judging by previous experience, it will be 
exceeded rather than diminished by the reality — the coal-fields of the U. States cover the immense area of 
624,485 sq. m., or more than one-third of the largest estimate made for the coal-producing fields of the 
whole world. The 291,485 sq. m., which are regarded as certain, are thus divided : New England anthra- 
cite field, in Vt. and Mass., 500 sq. m. ; Pa. anthracite fields, 470 ; Southern Jurassic coal-fields (in Va. and 
N.C.), 220 ; Alleghany coal-field (extending from Lake Erie to Tuscaloosa, Ala., and occupying portions of 
Pa., O., Va., W.Va., Ky., Tenn., Ga. and Ala.), 53,895; Central coal-field (extending through Ind., lU. 
and Ky.), 40,000; Northern coal-field, 13,000 ; Western coal-field (outside the Permian), 1.34,000 ; Rocky 
Mountain and far west Tertiary coals, 50,000. When this area is compared with that of the productive 
coal-fields of the rest of the world, it gives a result very flattering to this country until the amount pro- 
duced is examined. The productive coal region of the U. States is, as given above, nearly 300,000 sq. m. 
in extent, while that of other countries is less than 100,000 — so far, that is, as is certainly known ; but the 
annual production of coal in the U. States is less than 80,000,000 tons, while Great Britain alone, with a 
coal-field covering only 9,000 sq. m., produces annually more than 100,000,000 tons. The following table 
exhibits the quantity (in tons of 2,340 pounds) of coal produced in the U. States during the years 1870, 
1880 and 1881.

Iron. The leading State in the possession of iron ore is Missouri. Iron Mountain is thought to be 
the largest single deposit of ore in the known world. The ores of Pilot Knob, Shepherd Mountain, Cedar 
Hill and Buford Mountain are next in interest. The Iron Mountain ore may be taken as a type of all the 
Missouri specular ores. It is nearly pure peroxide, containing abt. 70 per cent, of metallic ore, and is 
nearly free from mechanical admixture of foreign matter ; color, bluish black to steel gray. Unfortu- 
nately, Mo. does not possess the large coal-fields of some regions, but the coal found in Illinois is now suc- 
cessfully coked and furnishes good fuel for blast-furnace purposes. Michigan contains the " Lake Supe- 
rior Iron Region," which, though probably not so rich as the deposits in Mo., is being more extensively 
worked and is giving a larger annual yield. New York has been celebrated for the variety and quality of 
various ores, but especially for the magnetic ores of the Lake Champlain region, which have supplied not 
only her own furnaces, but those of other States, and have furnished to all the rolling-mills east of the Alle- 
ghanies the requisite materials for fettling or lining the plates of the puddling furnaces. Pennsylvania has 
been frequently spoken of as the greatest iron-producing State of the Union, and in figures of iron manufacture 
she is pre-eminent ; but this is due rather to the wealth in fuel of this State and to the patient industry of 
her people than to any mineral abundance. Indeed, there is scarcely one of the States noted for iron ores 
which does not surpass Pa. in ore wealth, and, be it added, not one of them that has made the use of what 
she possesses that Pa. has. In magnetic ores New York, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri 
and Michigan far surpass her. Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia and Tennessee far exceed her in brown 
hematites. The fossiliferous ores of Pa. are not to be mentioned with those of Alabama ; the carbonates 
cannot compare with those of Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia ; and yet Pa. made 50 per cent, in 1870 
and 49 per cent, in 1880 of the total product of pig-iron. It has been-patient industry, hard work, frugality 
and plenty of coal that have made Pa. the great iron-making State that she is. The relative rank of all 
the States and Territories engaged in the production of iron and steel in 1880 is given in the following table:

A GENERAL VIEW OF THE INITED STATES. 



Copjjvr. The leading copper mines in the U. States are those of Michigan, on the southern shore of 
Lake Superior. The mines were worked in some places by the predecessors of the Indians on this con- 
tinent. A large ma.^s of ore, detached, and some stoue tools were found by the first white visitors to one 
of the mines, and these were not left tliere by the Indians, who were ignorant of the art of mining. The 
working of these mines by white people began in 184.5, and it is stated that between that time and 1S68, the 
total value of the production of this region was $.51,292,.500. From that time there has been a marked in- 
crease in the i)rt)ductiou. For the year 1880 the products of copper mining in the U. States 
amounted to 1,005,9.55 tons of ore or rock, producing 50,055,140 pounds of ingots, worth $8,842,961. Of 
this product the Lake Superior region furnished 90.48 per cent., and the balance came, in order of import- 
ance, from Vermont, North Carolina, Missouri, Maine, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Wisconsin. 

Lead is chiefly mined in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa ; Zi7ic and Jnckd in Pennsylvania, and Quick- 
silver exclusively lu California (see the names of these States). 

Petroleum is chielly found in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York. The product of this 
valuable commodity in large quantities is a business of relatively recent origin and growth. The ancient 
method of obtaining it is thus given by Eatou " A point was selected where the oil appeared to bubble 
up most freely, when a ,(it was excavated to the depth of two or three feet. Sometimes this pit was rudely 
walled up, sometimes not. Sometimes it was near the edge of the water, on the bank of the stream, some- 
times in the bed of the stream itself, advantage bemg taken of a time of low water In these pits the oil 
and water would collect together until a stratum of the former would form upon the surface of the lattei-, 
when a coarse blanket or piece of flannel was thrown in. This blanket soon became saturated with oil, 
butrejected the water. The blanket was then taken out, wrung into a tub or barrel, and the operation 
was repeated. The product Avas figuratively "a drug in the market," and literallj' was used only as a 
drug. In 1854, several barrels of petroleum were sent to Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, for analysis. He 
made ■< report which Eveleth & Blissel (who had purchased the " territory " where thepi'iucipal oil springs 
were foun 1), published in 1855. In this year the first oil company, " The Pennsylvania Rock Oil C ^mpany 
was organized, with Prof. Silliman as president. Until 1857, oil was obtained by digging pits and ditches and 
pumping the oil and water into vats. The substitutiouof artesian wells for this tedious process was then de- 
cided iipou. The first efforts were unsuccessful, but Col. E. L. Drake, who acted as agent and superin- 
tendent, was unremitting in his attempts, and on the 28th of August, 1859, the first oil well in America 
was struck, near Titusville, Pa. It yielded ten barrels per day with a hand-pump, and when a larger 
pump, worked by an engine, was attached, the yield rose to forty barrels. As oil was then worth one dol- 
lar per gallon, or forty dollars per barrel, this yield was of considerable value. Speculators were attracted, 
other wells were bored, and many were for a while " flowing wells." One well yielded for a time more 
than 3,000 barrels per day ; and in this case and others the oil came up more rapidly than it could be pro- 
vided for, so that much of it ran away and wasted. The " oil excitement " culminated in 1864-5, when 
1,100 companies were formed, with a nominal aggregate capital of $600,000,000, though only about 15 per 
cent, of this amount, or $90,000,000, was really paid in, and even this sum so far exceeded the quantity of 
capital required that some of it received but a poor return. Since that time, though local " excitements " 
occasionally occur, the oil business has settled down upon a comparatively legitimate and solid basis. The 
use of powerful " torpedoes " (the main ingredient in the explosive material of which is nitro-glycerine), 
has greatly improved the chances of obtaining oil and of retairing the productive power of a well. These 
valuable auxiliaries are put down into the wells and exploded, the result frequently being the tapping of 
hitherto inaccessible deposits of oil. The price of crude oil is more susceptible to unexpected and violent 
fluctuations than that of any other commodity in which there are extensive speculative dealings. It re- 
quires but a little reflection upon the relative positions of the wheat, cotton, corn, pork, and the petroleum 
"crops" — so to speak — to note differences between that last-named and those remaining. Of the four 
commodities first mentioned it is easily perceived that what may be called their statistical positions are 
sooner or later determined within a fair approximation to the actual outcome, and this, prior to the crop 
in mind having all come " in sight." The counties in which cotton, wheat and corn are raised in excess of 
consumptive demands are known, and the surplus shipped for a series of years is a matter of record. A 
careful report by counties as to the increased acreage in each county affords a basis of reliable 
estimate as to the forthcoming harvest, subject, of course, to modifying influences, such as the weather, 
insects, drouth, flood, etc. The prospects of the corn crop exercise an important influence on the char- 
acter if not the number of hogs to come into market, and the weekly receipts of hogs and packing returns, 
compared with those of preceding years, afford a fair check on reports concerning livestock in farmers' 
hands. In these and kindred ways are the statistical positions of wheat, corn, cotton and hog products 
kept well in hand. When causes arise tending to change the outlook they are generally of such a nature 
that they may be seen and read of all men, and the consequent variations in current quotations are often 
anticipated and very readily taken advantage of. When an analysis of the petroleum .situation is at- 
tempted like results are not found. The statistical position of petroleum aas ever been and still remains 
in part problematical. LTnlike the other " crops " named, it furnishes a harvest daily instead of annually. 
The reports of operations in the producing regions are compiled by one of the Pennsylvania exchanges 
and are published monthly. These relate to the number of wells completed, the number of rigs up and 
building, the total new production of oil in barrels and gross, and the average new production in barrels 
<laily. These figures, with comparative data from the month preceding, or the corresponding month one 
year ago, affords certain gauges of production. In addition, however, there are the statistics of stocks on 
hand unci quantities received and shijiped out of the region from month to month, the number of barrels in 
stock against which certificates have been issued, the prospect of new wells, their rate of production, etc., 
which are in many j)articulars speculative. As an instance of this, the information has from time to time 
been given out on the various petroleum exchanges that such or such a new well is flowing at the rate of 
2,400 barrels daily. This may be in one sense true, but the statement is manifestly put in that shape to 
affect prices, for the probabilities are that the well only spurted 100 barrels for one hour, and was then 
plugged to prevent the possibility of early exhaustion, and that the owners might take advantage of the 
market which they knew would be offered them on the announcement of a 2,400-barrel well. They sell 
thousands of barrels of oil short through a cipher dispatch to brokers at Oil City, Bradford, Philadelphia,

or New York, and immediately forward the news of a 2,400-baiTel well. This breaks prices perhaps 7f. or 
8e. a barrel, and they close out the deal at a handsome profit. The current reports attest that the average 
daily production of oil is about 56,000 barrels. The total stocks, including that held by pipe line com- 
panies and stocks at wells, cannot be ess than 36,000,000 barrels. The average daily consumption is con- 
ceded to be but little less than the production. If it was equal to it and the region should suddenly be- 
come exhausted there is oil enough above ground to last nearly two years. Yet, with a small daily ex- 
cess of production over consumption, the announcement that a new well has "come in " flowing at the rate 
of 1,800 barrels, "which may extend the oil-bearing territory 500 feet further north," will knock prices down 
7c. a barrel, reducing the nominal value of stocks of crude over $2,500,000 within twenty-four hours. The 
importance of knowing the exact quantity of oil in stock in the hands of the pipe line com]iaaies has been 
recognized by the movement at Harrisburg to provide State inspectors to gauge the oil in tank in the 
region at regular intervals and report thereon. Considering the magnitude of speculative transactions in 
crude petroleum, and the fact that these dealings are dependent on the venturesome outsider, it would 
seem as if some movement for comprehensive and reliable data, weekly, from a recognized responsible 
source had become a necessity. (For production and exports of petroleum from 1864 to 1883, see page 40.) 

Agriculture. The agricultural advantages of the United States are not surpassed by those of any 
other country on the globe. The fertile soil, the favorable climate, the abundant and equable rainfall, and 
the great range of latitude, render the eastern half of the U. States, in the quantity, variety and value of 
its agricultural productions, the richest large section of the earth inhabited by a single nation. Every 
variety of soil may be found, from the dry and almost sterile plains of the Great Basin to the rich alluvi- 
ums of the Mississippi valley and the borders of its tributaries. That portion of the country drained by 
the rivers and lakes of which the St. Lawrence is the outlet to the ocean, including parts of Vermont, New 
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota, and all of Michigan, is an elevated 
and fertile plain, and generally well supplied with wood. The Atlantic slope embraces all New England, 
except a part of Vermont, and a portion of all the States bordering on the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mex- 
ico. The northeast portion of this division is hilly, and the greater portion of it better adapted to grazing 
than tillage, though many parts of it are fertile and among the most carefully cultivated land in the 
country. Some parts of the coast belt are sandy, though capable of being made highly productive ; other 
portions are swampy, with considerable tracts of rich alluvial soil. The inland slope from the mountains 
towards the coast has some of the finest laud in the U. States, with rich soil of alluvium from the 
mountains and the decomposition of rocks which underlie the surface. The long and broad valley of the 
Mississippi, embraces nearly two-fifths of the area of the \J. States, extending from the Alleghany to 
the Rocky Mountains, and from the Gulf of Mexico to the British possessions on the north. Much of this 
territory is prairie of unequaled fertility, the soil being a black mould, in many places several feet in 
depth. At the base of the Rocky Mountains is a plateau, which is a part of this great valley, from 200 to 
400 miles wide, which is in a great degree sterile, owing to insufficient rain and want of means of irriga- 
tion. The Texas slope has extensive prairies of rich and fertile soil, with broad tracts of forest. TThe 
more elevated regions are excellent for grazing, and yield nourishing pasture for vast herds of cattle. Of 
the Pacific slope much is sterile and unproductive, though that part lying between the Coast range and the 
ocean and the valleys between the Coast range and the Cascade range and the Sierra Nevada are very fertile : 
other valleys and mountain slopes are better adapted to pasturage than to agriculture. The great inland 
basin of Utah, including parts of other States and Territories, is probably the most desolate and unpro- 
ductive portion of the country ; yet in many sections, by means of irrigation, good crops are gathered. A 
considerable advance in production was made during the last decade, as exhibited in the following table 
of the principal crops of the census year 1880, given in comparison with the crops of the census year 1^70 :

The greatness of agricultural production and the abundance of breadstufls and food product of the 
U. States, are the features of material prosperity most prominent before the world. This is not due 
to the new land, for lands used in 1870 increased in product even more than new areas, and the ratio of 
the crops was largely increased from lands averaging $30 an acre. Not many years since the Genesee 
Valley and the central parts of the State of New York, were mainly devoted to the production of wheat. 
From that point its cultivation gradually moved westward and northward, but this change is far from 
marking the decay, the farms of these parts of the State being now better cultivated and more productive 
than when they were devoted to wheat. Mulhall, in his " Balance Sheet of the World," puts the U. States 
at the head in product and in consumption per head. The product he gives as 48 bushels for each in- 
habitant, and the consumption of grain as over 40 bushels for each. That is, in some way — directly or in- 
directly — that amount of grain is used up for each person in the United States. Professor Brewer puts 
production at 53.7 bushels a head, and so gives a larger surplus for export. Steam transportation and im- 
proved farm machinery brings us into close relation to the social economies of the old world, and are 
producing startling effects in modifying their customs and their laws, and, it might be added, are produc- 
ing great modifications in American customs and social life. 

The following statement, compiled from the Treasury report of commerce and navigation, shows the 
value of the exports of agricultural products, with their immediate manufactures, for the 10 years, 1871- 
1880, and their percentage in regard to the value of the total exports :

Upon one-fourteenth part of their whole soil, or upon one-seventh part of that which is fit for agri- 
culture, the U. States produce the hay and roots that they require, and all the grains and cotton that they 
need, with so much more that even if they did not produce an ounce of gold or silver, they could com- 
mand the treasures of the world. Yet if we consider the average product per acre in respect to every one 
of these crops, we find that it does not exceed one-half the quantity that even a reasonable good system of 
agriculture would bring forth. If we consider the conditions under which each and all of these great 
crops of grain, hay, cotton, etc., are produced, we find that they represent in thelesser degree only, the art 
of agriculture. 

Manufactures. — ^Up to the time of the Revolution, a large proportion of the colonial manufactures 
was the product of household industries ; but the increasing population and wealth of the colonies early 
gave rise to manufactories devoted to special industries. Furnaces and forges were constructed for the 
manufacture of iion and steel, and manufactories of vehicles, household furniture, farm implements, hats 
and caps, gloves, woolen and cotton goods, silk goods, linen goods, leather, gunpowder, paper, books, 
bags, and other articles, were established in several of the colonies, but chiefly in New York and New 
England. From the very beginning, the colonists exhibited a marked aptitude for mechanical pursuits. 
The exigencies of their social, industrial, and commercial life excited the quest for discoveries, and stimu- 
lated genius to new inventions and adaptations. The fact that they were so far removed from the methods 
which characterized European mechanical industries gave a stamp of originality to American manufactures, 
which, in latter days, has manifested itself in the peculiarities of a thousand mechanic arts. The success 
of the industrial enterprises of the colonists was based upon faculty and wholesome lives. Through the 
tuition of self-culture, from generation to generation, inventive genius became an inherited instinct. From 
an early date the mother country bitterly opposed the establishment of manufactures in the American 
colonies, her avowed policy being to confine their external commerce to the exportation of products of 
agriculture, of the forest, and of the fisheries, to England alone and in British ships, and in return to supply 
them with the products of her own manufactories. But this policy served only to illustrate the irony of 
events. In the end, it proved to be protective and stimulating, and not repressive of the colonial indus- 
tries. The restraints imposed by the British Government in connection with the duties laid upon colonial 
produce when imported into Great Britain, and the great cost of transporting the crude j^roducts of the 
colonies across the Atlantic Ocean, left little to them for their labor. In order, therefore, to supply their 
needs, they were forced to create a market for their products by becoming their own artificers. House- 
hold mechanical industry increased, and hundreds of manufactories were established in the several colo- 
nies. The sales of goods of colonial manufacture were at first confined to the towns or neighborhoods in 
which they were produced, but soon were extended to greater distances. An intercolonial trade thus 
s])rang up which was the beginning of the enormous internal commerce of the U. States of the present day. 
After a while, the colonies were enabled to export their manufactured products to foreign countries, and 
they did so to a considerable extent, in defiance of the edicts of the mother country. The vigorous growth 
attained by American manufacture during the colonial period is evidenced by the fact that the colonists 
were able to meet all their home needs, and besides to clothe their army during the terrible struggle of the 
seven years' war. In his message to Congress, dated January 8, 1790, President Washington invited the 
attention of that body to the importance of promoting manufactures. On the 15th of January the House 
of Representatives, by resolution, referred this portion of the President's message to Alexander Hamilton, 
Secretary of the Treasury, " to prepare and report a proper plan, or ])lans, conformably to the recommen- 
dation of the President." Hamilton's memorable report in reply to this resolution was submitted to the 
next Congress. It has perhaps justly been regarded as the ablest of all his State papers. He recommended 
a vigorous system of protection and encouragement of American industries by means of duties on imports, 
bounties, and premiums. It must be remembered that these measures were, in high degree, retaliatory, 
similar measures being at that time enforced by other commercial nations. It should also be observed 
that he did not announce the measures which he advocated as being applicable to all countries and at all

times. The conditions under which manufacture are carried on have, since the days of Hamilton, under- 
gone radical changes, as the result of the increase and expansion of population, the introduction and ex- 
tension of railroads, and the greatly increased facilities for transportation, and as the result also of dis- 
coveries, inventions, and adaptations. The variety of manufactured articles have been almost infinitely 
increased, and their ministration to the needs, tastes, and habits of the people have been multiplied a thou- 
sand-fold. Hundreds of manufactured articles, formerly imported, are now supplied in our own markets 
exclusively by American artisans. With respect to certain other articles, the American manufacturer is 
able to compete in foreign markets with the manufacturers of other countries. The value of exports of 
products of manufacture from the U. States increased from $45,658,873 in 1860 to $103,133,481 in 1882, ex- 
ceeding in the latter year the total value of imports into the U. States during the year 1840. It is not of 
course practicable here to trace the history of the struggle between the advocates and the opponents of 
governmental protection of manufacturers from the time of Hamilion to the present day. Suffice it to say, 
that while neither policy has ever been fully adopted, the preponderance of public sentiment has been 
sometimes on one side and sometimes on the other. Attention will here be confined to the growth of the 
manufacturing industries of the U. States since the year 1850, but especially since the year 1860. Accord- 
ing to the census, the value of the products of manufactures in the U. States was, in 1850, $1,019,106,616 ; 
in 1860, $1,885,861,676 ; in 1870, $3,432,415,933 ; and in 1880, $5,369,579,191. During the period from 1860 
to 1880 the manufacturing industries of the U. States were more highly protected than during any previ- 
ous period in the history of the country. The average ad valorem rate on imported merchandise was in- 
creased from fourteen per cent, in 1861 to forty-two per cent, in 1865. It is an historical fact, however, 
that this large increase of duties was prompted by the needs of national defense and not by any prevailing 
sentiment in favor of the protection of American enterprise. As the result of the large increase of duties 
on imports, the customs revenues increased from $39,038,269 in 1861 to $177,056,523 in 1866. Although the 
duties on the tea and coffee were reduced in 1870 and abolished in 1872, and the reductions of duties were 
subsequently made, the aggregate duties on imports during the year 1882, had increased to $216,138,916. 
At the same time the foreign commerce of the U. States grew more rapidly than ever before. The total 
value of exports increased from $3.33,.576,057 in 1860 to $835,638,658 in 1880 and the value of imports in- 
creased from $353,616,119 in 1860 to $667,954,746 in 1880. During the same period agriculture, mining, 
internal commerce, and all the other great business interests of the country. The immediate relations 
sustained by manufactures to the several sections of the country are indicated by the following facts in re- 
gard to the distribution of manufacturing and mechanical industries : According to the census of 1880 the 
products of manufacture in the U. States were distributed thus : 21 per cent, in New England States ; 41 
per cent, in the States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and the District of 
Columbia ; 29i per cent, in the Western and Northwestern States ; 2^ per cent, in the States of Virginia, 
North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida ; 3^ per cent, in the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, 
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas ; and 2J per cent, in the States of California, Oregon, and 
Nevada. These facts show the extent to which the manufacturing industries of the U. States have become 
nationalized. Within the memory of men of middle age, the great West was dependent almost entirely 
upon the East and upon foreign countries for manufactured products. But the value of the manufactures 
of that section increased from $346,675,290 in 1860 to $1,583,2.35,703 in 1880. During the latter year, the 
value of the products of manufacture of the Western and Northwestern States was fifty per cent, greater 
than the total value of the products of manufacture in the U. States in 1850, and almost equal to the total 
value of the manufactures of the country in 1860. The very fact of the movement of manufactures to- 
ward the great surplus producing agricultural area of the West clearly proves the mutuality of interest 
existing between those two great branches of industry. 

Through the improvement and extension of the facilities for transportation, and the growing tendency 
on the part of local traders to purchase " at first hand," the manufacturer has, to a great extent, become 
a merchant, and local points of manufacture have thus become centers of trade. The products of the 
manufactures of the West are now shipped not only to all points in the Western States, but also exten- 
sively to the Southern States and to the Eastern States, and certain articles are even exported to foreign 
countries. In view of the present rate of increased manufactures in the Western States, the rapid growth 
and improvement in the facihties for transportation by lail, and the constant tendency of population west- 
ward, it appears safe to predict this, if nothing shall occur to repress the present prosperity of the manu- 
facturing industries of these States during the remaining years of the century, there will be developed 
between the agricultural and the manufacturing industries of these States a commerce equal in magnitude 
to the foreign commerce of the U. States at the present time. Experience has proved that the domestic 
commerce thus created will be much more steady and reliable, and, in all probability, in the end more 
productive on individual and national wealth than trade with foreign countries. 

The advantages realized by the transportation interests of the country from manufactures cannot be 
stated with precision. About ten per cent, of the east-bound, and ninety per cent, of the west-bound 
traffic of the great East and West trunk lines consist of products of manufactures. From the best infor- 
mation whicli can be procured, it is estimated that manufactured articles, together with materials and the 
coal required for supplying motive power in manufacturing industries, constitute about one-half of the 
freight tonnage of the railroads of the United States. It is probable that considerably more than one- 
half of the freight receipts of railroads is derived from the transportation of manufactured articles and of 
material and coal required in their production. This is evident from the fact that the higher and better 
paying classes of freight consist chiefly of manufactured articles. 

The importance of the relations sustained by manufactures to the internal commerce of the U. States 
is indicated by the fact, that the value of the latter is estimated to be at least twenty times as great as the 
foreign trade of the country. The total value of the products of manufactures, according to the census of 
1880, is $5,369,579,191, of which only about $100,000,000, or 2 per cent., was exported, 98 per cent, having 
been consumed at home, or, in other words, become the subject of internal commerce. The increased 
value of manufactures from $1,885,861,676 in 1860 to $5,369,579,191 in 1880, of course gave rise to an enor- 
mous increase in the internal commerce of the country. Manufactures now constitute the most important 
elements of the commerce of large towns and cities. The prosperity even of New York city, the great 
commercial entrepot of the country, at which port 77 per cent, of our foreign commerce is carried on, is, in 
a much higher degree, dependent upon manufacturing industries than upon foreign commerce. During 



30

the year ending June 30, 1880, the value of the total foreign commerce at that city amounted to 
§85:J,497,243, the value of exports amounting to $392,560,090, and that of imports to $459,937,153. The 
total value of the manufactures of the city, however, during the census year, amounted to $473,936,437, 
and those of Brooklyn to $177,333,143. The total value of the manufactures'of the two cities — commercially 
one city — amounting, therefore, to $650,149,579. But the manufacture and sale of every dollar's worth of 
products of manufacture probably contributed ten times as much toward the em[)loyment of labor and 
the sustenance of people in these cities as did every dollar's worth of foreign goods imported. The 
manufacturing industries of the two cities involved not only wages paid for the manufacture of goods, but 
also wages paid for transporting and receiving materials and coal, and delivering finished products. They 
also required the use of, and paid rental upon, a large amount of propertj'in the manufacture and storage 
of merchandise. Besides, the manufactures of the two cities gave rise to a very large business in the pur- 
chase and sale of raw materials, and of finished products. On the other hand, a large part of the foreign 
exports of New York city consisted of direct shipments from interior points to foreign countries, and 
another considerable portion paid little more than transfer and warehouse charges. A large portion of 
the imports of merchandise also passed directly through the city without paying to it any commercial 
tribute, excepting the incidental expenses of tran.s-shipment. Other imports paid little more tlian the 
expenses of trans-shipment and warehousing. Besides the trade in the products of the manufactories of 
New York and Brooklyn, the city of New York also controls the trade, in an enormous amount, of the 
manufactured products of the New England States, New Jersey, and the State of New York, outside of 
the two cities mentioned. It is believed that if any person were to take the time to ascertain the vahie of 
the trade of wholesale houses in New York city dealing exclusively in products of Am'-rican manufacture 
to an amount equal in the aggregate to the value of the entire foreign commerce carried on, at, or through 
that city, he would be surprised to find how small a proportion of the business operations of the city his 
inquiries had covered. It has already been shown that the products of agriculture in the U. States which 
are exported consist almost entirely of products of the Western and Northwestern, and of the Southern 
States, and that the agriculturists of the Atlantic and seaboard States depend almost entirely upon mar- 
kets created by domestic industries and occupations. These facts, in connection with those just stated in 
relation to the magnitude of the manufactures of New York and Brooklyn, and of the commerce carried 
on in these cities in the manufactures of the surrounding country, indicate to how much greater an ex- 
tent the agricultural interests of the territory within a radius of 300 miles of New York city depend upon 
home industries and home commerce than upon foreign commerce. The importance of manufactures to 
the internal commerce of the country is also illustrated in the commercial and industrial experiences of a 
thousand towns and cities throughout the country. Twenty-five years ago, the cities of Mobile, New 
Orleans, and Galveston largely dominated the trade of the States situated south of the Ohio river and 
south of the State of Missouri, but now that trade is mainly controlled by the cities of Cincinnati, Louis- 
ville, and St. Louis, and consists largely in the sale of products of the industries of those cities. It was 
estimated by the superintendent of the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce that the total value of the sales 
of merchandise at that city amounted in 1881 to $354,000,000, of which the value of goods manufactured 
in Cincinnati, and there sold, amounted to $150,000,000, and the value of goods purchased abroad and sold 
in the course of a purely distributive commerce amounted to $104,000,000. The people of the Western 
towns and cities generally have, within the last fifteen years, been brought to realize the fact that the 
trade in the products of their own industries is much more reliable and profitable than their jobbing or 
wholesale trade. Besides, they have seen that manufactures retain in a city a most desirable class. The 
social advantages afforded by manufacturing industries, whereby the various members of families can be 
held together in a single community, is a consideration of very great importance. 

The important relations sustained by manufactures to banking and the finance of commerce are clearly 
understood by every banker and business man in the country. It is impossible to state the amount of 
bank capital held by manufacturers, or the proportion of bank credits which is based upon manufactured 
articles. It is believed, however, that the total amount of such credits is greater thon the total amount of 
credits based upon products of agriculture. From the foregoing statements it appears that manufactures, 
and commerce, and agriculture, and transportation, and banking, and the other great business interests of 
the country, take hold on each other in innumerable ways, and that, as elements of national j)rosperity, 
they are one and inseparable. The depression of one or more of the great manufacturing or mechanical 
industries of the country would injuriously affect all other business interests, and might result in serious 
ilisaster. 

In 1880, according to the census of that year, the manufactures of the U. States were as follows :

Adii-ondaclc J^lonntains, the principal 
group of mountains in N. Y. They extend from the 
N. E. corner of the State toward its center, and form 
a part of the Appalachian chain. They are situated 
in Clmton, Essex, Franklin and Hamilton cos. Mt. 
Marcy, in Essex co., 5,402 ft. above sea level, is ther 
highest mountain in the State The summits next 
in altitude are St. Anthony, McMartin, Seward, Dix's 
Peak, Mt. Emmons and Mt. Mclntyre. The Adiron- 
dacks are formed of gi-anitic and other primary rocks, 
and present, in general, a conical form with an abrupt 
slope. Some of the ridges of this group have re- 
ceived local names, as the Kayaderosseras on the W. 
of Lake George ; the Highlands of Black R. ; the 
Hassencleaver Mountains of Oneida co., and the cen- 
tral chain has been called McComb's Mountains. 
The scenery of this region is wild and grand almost 
beyond description. Numerous beautiful lakes and 
ponds diversify the scenery, and give to it a charm 
which is not surpassed in the U. S. Raquette Lake, 
the highest of these sheets of water, is 1731 ft. above 
the sea level. Fish abound in these lakes and the 
streams which flow into them ; and game is still to 
be found. Among the rivers which have their source 
among these mountains are the Saranac andthe Aus- 
able, which empty into Lake Champlain ; and the 
Boreas, the Cedar and the Hudson, wkicli unite into 
the Hudson in the S. W. corner of Essex co. Among 
the best known lakes are Lake George, Schroon Lake 
and Long Lake. Fine forests of pine, maple, beech, 
birch, ash and other woods cover these mountains ; 
along the streams cedar, hemlock, tamarack and 
hackmatack form almost impenetrable swamps. The 
most valuable prod, is the white pine, which is cut 
in immense quantities. The Adirondack region is 
visited yearly by a large number of sportsmen and 
tourists. It is easily reached by several routes, one 
of the best from N. Y. being via Lake Champlain.

ron is situated on the portage summit of the Ohio & 
Erie Canal, in a beautiful and fertile country. By 
means of the canal and the Little Cuyahoga R. the city 
is amply supplied with water power, which is employ- 
ed in a variety of manuf . ; and its mercantile business 
is extensive. It has several flour mills, woolen fac-

Alabama, Ala., a river which is formed by the 
junction of the Coosa and the Tallapoosa, and flow- 
ing S. S.W., unites with the Tombigbee, 48 m. above 
Mobile Bay, and after the junction has the name of 
Mobile R. It is navigable "at all seasons for vessels 
requiring 6 ft. of water, from the junction, 60 m. to 
Claiborne. From Claiborne, 1.50 m. to the mouth of 
the Cahawba, the river has 4 or 5 ft. of water. From 
the mouth of the Cahawba to the junction of the 
Coosa and Tallapoosa, its head branches, the river af- 
fords, in all places, 3 ft.of water. The river is subject 
to great changes by rising and falling'; it is very tor- 
tuous throughout its course, and on its banks are 
some of the "largest cotton plantations in the South, 
and much valuable timber. 

—a southern State, the 21st in the order of its ad- 
mission, the 17th in surface and also in population, 
lies between lat. 30° 13' and 35° N., and between 85° 
and 88° 35' W. It is bounded S. by Florida and the 
Gulf of Mexico, W. by the Mississippi, N. by Ten- 
nessee, and E. bv Georgia. Its length is 330 m., aver- 
age breadth 154, and area. 51.540 sq. m. The Blue 



Ridge of the Alleghanies stretches into the northern 
portion of the State, but the elevation is nowhere 
great. From this broken but beautiful region, there 
is a gradual declination towards the S., the surface 
expanding into bi-oad prairies with gentle swells, till 
the vicinity of Mobile Bay, where it becomes very 
flat, and raised but little above the sea-level. The 
State has only abt. 60 m. of seacoast, a large por- 
tion of the S. boundary being cut off from the sea- 
coast by an intervening strip of Florida. The prin- 
cipal rivers are the Mobile, Tombigbee, Alabama, 
Coosa, Black W^arrior, Perdido, and Chattahoochee. 
Mobile Bay, the largest and finest on the Gulf re- 
ceives the greater part of the navigable waters of 
the State through the Mobile R. and its affluents. 
■The Perdido R. separates Florida from Alabama. 
The Tennessee comes in at the N.E. corner of the 
State, and taking a circular sweep southward, goes 
out at the N.W. corner, and empties into the Ohio 
at Paducah, Ky. The Chattahoochee, a large rivei 
rising in Ga. and emptying into Appalachicola Bay, 
forms the E. boundary of the State for more than 
100 m. The climate of Alabama is semi-tropical. 
The temperature ranges from 82° to 18° Fahr. in 
winter, and in summer from 105° to 60° ; the mean 
temperature for the year being a little over 60°. The 
uplands are healthy, but the inhabitants of the low- 
lying lands are subject to intermittent, bilious, and 
congestive fevers. 

Alabama is rich in minerals. The mineral region 
occupies the N.E. corner of the State, extending S.W. 
abt. 160 m., and has an average width of abt. 80 m. 
White marble of lemarkable brilliancy, soapstone, 
flagstones, graphite or plumbago, potter's porcelain, 
and fire-clays, and granite of good quality are ob- 
tained here. Gold was discovered in Randolph co. 
in 1836, and mined so successfully that $213,750.66 
of it had been coined at the U. States mint and its 
branches to June 30, 1872, and the greater part 
previous to 1859. Copper is also found, but not in 
ores sufficiently rich to make its mining profitable. 
The most valuable portion of the mineral wealth 
of Alabama, however, consists in her mines of coal 
and her abundant iron ores. The coal-fields contain 
seams of bituminous coal from one to eight ft. thick, 
of several varieties, some of them excellent for 
smelting iron ores. In close proximity to the latter 
are extensive beds of iron ore ; the Red Mountain 
extends across the State for more than 100 m., hav- 
ing in its whole course a stratum of solid red iron 
ore from two to eight ft. thick. Very extensive beds 
of the brown hematite iron ore of the best quality 
are found in Bibb, Shelby, Jefferson, Talladega, St. 
Clair, and Claiborne cos. The iron manufactured 
froni these ores is of excellent quality. The 6 cos. 
in which coal is mined produced, in 1880, 323,972 
tons valued $476,911. The census of 1880 shows the 
State of Alabama ranking 7th in the production of 
iron ore, with 17 mining establishments scattered in 
10 COS., having an aggregate capital of $586,442 and 
employing 738 hands. 'The total production during 
census year was 191,676 tons, valued $201,865. There 
were 14 blast-furnaces, rolling-mills and steel works, 
having an aggregate capital of $3,309,196 and em- 
ploying 1,626 hands, to whom $571,713 wages were 
paid during the census year; value of all materials 
used, $631,707; of iron and steel production, $990,- 
850. — Alabama combines the vegetable products of 
the temperate and semi-tropical regions. In the N. 
the white, red, cup, pin, and post oak, the hickory, 
chesnut, poplar, cedar, elm, mulberry, and pine, are 
the principal forest trees. Below latitude 33° the 
trees are festooned with the long Spanish moss, and 
the forests begin to assume a more semi-tropical 
character. In this region, the deciduous trees very 
generally give place to the live-oak, the cypress, the 
loblolly, the yellow pine, the magnolia, and other

forest trees of the Gulf region, while the apples, 
pears, plums, and hardy peaches are partially re- 
placed by the fig, the pomegranate, the olive, the 
apricot, the scuppernong grape, and the orange. 
The N. part of the State is best adapted to the cul- 
ture of the grasses, the cereals, and maize, though 
in the more fertile valleys considerable cotton is 
raised. The central and most of tlie S. portion is ad- 
mirably adapted to cotton. Large quantities of 
maize are also grown in the central counties. In the 
S.W. the sugar crop is usually successful, and rice 
is grown on the wet and low lands. The chief agri- 
cultural iiroductious in 1880 were 22,H79,352 lbs.' of 
coin, 1,402,218 of wheat, 32,906 of rye, 2,926,336 of 
oats, 370,510 of potatoes, 34,900 tons of hay, 94 hhds. 
of sugar, 2,348 gals, of molasses, and 699,654 bales 
of cotton. There were 113,950 horses, 121,081 mules 
and asses ; 75,534 working oxen ; 271,443 milch cows; 
404,213 other cattle; 347,538 sheep, and 1,252,462 
swine. — There are still great numbers of deer in the N. 
COS., and wild turkeys are abundant. Wild pigeons, 
partridges, labbits, gray squirrels, and other game 
are plentiful, while opjiossums, raccoons, wildcats, 
wolves (the paririe wolf), foxes, and bears are oc- 
casionally met with. Lizards and snakes abound in 
the swampy regions, and the moccasin and milk 
snake are particularly venomous. In some of the 
streams and bayous the alligator is found, though 
less abundant tlian in Louisiana. — According to the 
census of 1880 the cotton manufacture aggregated 
1,060 looms and 55,072 spindles ; number of bales of 
cotton used, 14,887; number of operatives employed, 
1,600. There were in the State 2,070 manufacturing 
establishments, having an aggregate capital of $9,668, 
008, and employing 10,019 hands ; total amount of 
wages paid, $2,500,504 ; value of materials, $8,545,520 ; 
value of products, $13,565,504. The foreign com- 
merce all center" at Mobile. — In 1882 Alabama had 
1,804 m. of railroad in operation, divided into 26 
lines ; coc-t of roads and equipments, $84,199,205. — 
In 1882 there were 4,572 common schools, of which 
2,981 were white and 1,591 colored schools. The to- 
tal number of children within the school ages was 
388,003, of which 217,590 were whites, and 170,413 
were colored. The total number of children enroll- 
ed was 176,289, of which 107,338 whites, and 68,951 
colored. The total revenue of the school depart- 
ment was $307,479.04. The University of Alabama, 
founded iu 1831, is situated at Tuscaloosa, and is 
under the control of the State board of education. 
There are besides 4 collegiate institutes, viz.: South- 
ern University, at Greensborough ; Howard College, 
at Marion ; Spring Hill College, at Mobile ; and Lin- 
coln Universit}', at Marion. The Alabama Agricul- 
tural and Mechanical College, organized in 187'2, had 
279 students in 1882. — Among the public institutions 
in the State are the penitentiary at Wetumpka ; the 
insane hospital at Tuscaloosa ; the asylum for deaf, 
dumb, and blind, and the freedman's hospital at Tal- 
ladega, and the asylum for the blind, at Mobile. — The 
leading religious denominations are Methodists and 
Baptists. — The assessed value of real and personal 
property in 1882 was $152,920,115 ; amount of taxes 
(at the rate of 6J mills) $1,035,915.05. The total I'e- 
ceipts into the State treasury in 1882 were $1,012,- 
547.01; total disbursements, "$918,588.61. The total 
State debt, in 1882, was $9,407,800, on which the in- 
terest charge was $343,929. — The present constitu- 
tio!i was adopted in 1868. The Governor, Lieuten- 
ant-Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer and At- 
torney-General are chosen for two years by the elec- 
tors of the State. The Auditor is chosen for one 
year. The elections take place on the Tuesday after 
the first Monday in November. The House of Rep- 
resentatives must not exceed 100 members ; the Sen- 
ate must be not less than one-fourth and not more 
than one-third of the number of representatives. 



The State sends 2 senators and 8 representatives to 
Congress ; it has 10 electoral votes. The judicial 
power is vested in a Supreme Court of 3 justices, 
with appellate jurisdiction only ; 5 courts of chance- 
ry and 12 circuit courts, each of which is held by 
one judge; a probate court for each county; and 
city courts for Molnle, Montgomery, Selma and 
Huntsville. The judges of the several courts are 
elected by the people for a term of 6 years. — Ala- 
bama is divided into the following 66 cos.: Autauga, 
Baldwin, Barbour, Bibb, Blount, Bullock, Butler,

of a CO. are called "beats" instead of "districts" 
as in Ga. and the neighboring States. The cities are 
Mobile, the first in size and commercial importance, 
Montgomery, the cap., Selma, Huntsville, Eufaula, 
Talladega, Tuscaloosa, (the former cap.), and Tus- 
cumbia. — Alabama was first jjcnetrated by the Span- 
iards in quest of gold in 1541, under the celebrated 
leader, De Sota. The present site of Mobile was first 
occupied by the French in 1711, and ceded by theni, 
with the other possessions East of the Mississippi, 
to the English, in 1763. Alabama was originally in- 
cluded in Ga., but in 1802 became part of the terri- 
tory of Miss. In 1819 it was admitted into the 
Union as an independent member. It passed an 
ordinance of secession, 11 Jan., 1861, and was re- 
admitted to representation in Congress, 1868. Pop.

Ala>i)'l£a, a territory consisting of a vast tract of 
country forming the N.W. portion of N. America, 
bounded N. by the Arctic Ocean, E. by B. America, S. 
andW. by the Pacific Ocean. The name was formerly 
confined to a long narrow peninsula stretching into 
the Pacific, but lias been extended to the whole ter- 
ritory. Alaska comprises the whole of N. America 
from" 141° W. Ion. to Behriug Strait, and also num- 
erous islands along the coast, notably Prince of Wales 
Islands, King George III. Archipelago, the Kodiak 
Islands, and the Aleutian Islands, which stretch sea- 
M'ard from the extremity of the peninsula. From the 
main portion of the territory a narrow strip, with a 
breadth of about 50 m. extends S. E. along the Pa- 
cific coast, and terminates at the confines of British 
Columbia, in .54° 40' N. lat. From N. to S. the ex- 
treme length of Alaska is about 1,100 m., and the 
greatest breadth from E. to W. is 800 m. The area 
of the whole territory is estimated at 514,700 sq. m. 
The numerous islands, creeks and inlets of Alaska 
lengthen out its coast-line to 7,860 m., an extent 
greater than that of the E. coast-line of the U. States. 
Beginning at the S. E., the chief creeks and bays are 
Cook's Inlet, Bristol Bay, Norton Sound and Kotze- 
bue Sound ; while, following the same order, the 
f)rincipal headlands, in addition to the extremity of 
the peninsula, are Cape Newenham and Cape Ro- 
manzott' in the Pacific, Cape Prince of Wales in Behr- 
iug Strait, and Cape Lisburue, Icy Cape and Point 
Barrow in the Arctic Ocean. Point Barrow is in lat. 
71° 23' N. and is the extreme northern poiut of the 
country. The exploration of the N. coast was chiefly 
the work of the British navigators. Cook, Beechy and 
Franklin, and of the officers of the Hudson Bay Com- 



pany. The principal river of Ala.ska is the Yukon or 
Kwichpak, which rises in British America, and, re- 
ceiving the Porcupine R. at Fort Yukon, flows W. 
across the territory and falls into the Pacific Ocean 
to the S. of Norton Sound. At a distance of 600 m. 
from the sea this magnificent river has a width of more 
than a mile. Its tributaries would, in Europe, be 
reckoned large rivers, and its volume is so great that 
10 m. out f rohi its principal mouth the water is fresh. 
Among the other rivers are the Copper R., the Sus- 
chitna, the Nuschagak and the Kuskokwim, falling 
into the Pacific, and the Colville, flowing N. info the 
Arctic Ocean. A great mountain range extends from 
British Columbia, in a N. W. direction, along the 
coast of Alaska, the summit being covered with 
snow and glaciers. Mount St. Elias, an active vol- 
cano, in lat. 60° 18' N., Ion. 140° 30' W., rises to the 
height of 14,970 ft. above the sea. The mountain 
chain runs out along the peninsula which has given 
its name to the country, and at the W. extremity 
there are several volcanic cones of great elevation ; 
while in the Island of Uminak, sepai-ated from the 
mainland by only a narrow strait, there are enormous, 
volcanoes, one rising to more than 8,000 ft. iu height. 
In the interior and to the N. the counti-y is also 
mountainous, with great intervening plains. The 
climate of the S. W. coast is tolerably mild, consid- 
ering its high latitude. The great warm current of 
the Pacific, sweeping in a N. E. circuit from the East 
India Islands, and corresponding ver^' much in char- 
acter and effects to the Gulf Stream of the Atlantic, 
washes its shores ; and while it modifies the temper- 
ature, also causes an excessive rainfall. At Sitka 
the mean temperature is 42°. 9, and the average rain- 
fall about 80 in. Alaska will never have any great 
agricultural value. From the great amount of rain 
and the want of heat, cereals grow, but will not 
ripen, and vegetables do not thrive. Native grasses 
and berries grow plentifully, but the chief wealth of 
the country is in its vast forests, in the furs of its^ 
wild animals, and in the fish with which its rivers and 
seas abound. The forests, rising from the coast and 
covering the mts. to a height of 2,000 ft., consist of 
a very durable yellow cedar, spruce, larch and fir of 
great size, and also cypress and hemlock. The wild 
animals include the elk, the deer and various species 
of bear, and also many fur-bearing animals, such as 
the fox and wolf, the beaver, ermine, martin, otto 
and squirrel. Near the coast and islands there are 
innumerable fur-bearing seals, which are caught in 
great numbers by the settlers.; but from the rigor of 
the climate and the arduous nature of the work, the 
trapping of the animals of the interior is left to the 
Indians. The salmon abound in the rivers, and there 
are great banks along the shores, the favorite haunt, 
of cod and other fish. Abt. 80 whalers prosecute 
their fishery off the coast of Alaska. Coal and iron 
are the most important minerals, but the value of the 
deposit remains to be ascertained. The pop. is very 
limited, consisting of 8,000 whites and 1.5,000 Indians, 
with some Esquimaux on the N. coast. The Indians- 
are rapidly decreasing in number, and are described 
as treacherous and discontented. Sitka, formerly 
New Archangel, in the island of Sitka, lat. 57° 3' N., 
Ion. 135° 18' W., was the seat of the Russian Govern- 
ment, and is the headquarters of the U. States au- 
thorities. It contains abt. 1,500 inhabitants, is the 
residence of a Greek bishop, and has fortifications, 
magazines and a magnetic observatory. Of the other 
settlements. Fort Nicholas, on Cook's Inlet, and Fort 
St. Michael, on Norton Sound, are the most import- 
ant. The admirable harbors on this coast and the 
great navigable river Yukon, afford facilities for the 
formation of new settlements and the increase of 
trade. The N. W. coast of this part of America was 
discovered and explored by a Russian expedition un- 
der Behriug iu 1741 ; and at subsequent periods set-

tleinents were made by the Russians at various places, 
chietiy for the prosecutiou of the fur trade. lu 1799 
the territory was grauted to a Russo-American fur 
company by the Emperor Paul Vlll., aud in 1839 the 
charter of the company was renewed. New Arch- 
angel, in the island of Sitka, was the principal set- 
tlement, but the company had about 40 stations. 
They exported annually 25,000 skins of the seal, sea- 
otter, beaver, &c., besides about 20,000 sea-horse 
teeth. The privileges of the company expired in 
1863 ; and in 1867 the whole Russian possessions in 
America were ceded to the U. States for a money 
payment of $7,200,00. The treaty was signed on 30th 
March, and ratified on 20th June, 1867; and on the 
9th October following, the possession of the country 
was formally made over to a military force of the U. 
States at New Archangel. It still remains in the 
military keeping of the U. States, no steps having 
been taken to organize a territorial government. It 
has, however, been constituted a revenue district, 
with New Archangel, or Sitka, as the port of entry. 
Since Alaska was ceded to the U. States considerable 
information has been collected as to the resources of 
the less sterile parts of the country ; but the central 
and N. parts of this region are only known as the in- 
hospitable home of some wandering tribes of Indians 
and Esquimaux. See Ai>eutian Islands ; see also

Albany, N. Y., an E. co., bounded E. by Hud- 
son R., and'N. pai-tly by the Mohawk ; area, 490 sq. 
m. Normanskill and Catskill Creeks furnish it with 
good water i)ower. The land near the Hudson and 
some of the other streams is fertile ; but in the N. and 
W., where the surface is mountainous, it is less pro- 
ductive, and in some places sterile. The E. part is 
covered with immense beds of clay, sand and gravel, 
the sand in some places being 40 ft. deep. Iron, 
hydraulic limestone, marl and gypsum are found, 
though they are not abundant. The chief prod, in 
1880 were 23,128 bush, of wheat, 296,145 of corn, 
787,.529 of oats, 158,600 of rye, 211,225 of buckwheat, 
17,952 of barley, 091,842 of potatoes, 133,536 tons of 
hay, 158,804 lbs. of wool, 1,400,567 of butter, and 
161,000 of hops. Besides Albany, the cap., Cohoes 
and West Troy are important manufacturing places. 
The assessed val. of real estate in 1880 was $64,295,- 
172, and of personal prop. $4,977,970. Poj). 155,045 
(of whom 38,033 for., 1,382 colored, 3 Chinese and 6 
Indians). 

— a city, cap. of the above co., and of the State of 
New York, on the W. bank of the Hudson R., at 
the head of sloop navigation and near the head of 
tide water, 145 m. N. of New York city, and 164 m. 
(or 201 by lail) W. of Boston, in lat. 42° 39' 49" N., 
Ion. 73° 44' 33" VV. It has a commanding situation, 
and when viewed from the water appears to great 
advantage. On the margin of the river is a flat, allu- 
vial tract, extending from 15 to 100 yards back, from 
which the ground rises abruptly, aud in the course 
of a mile attains an elevation of 220 feet, beyond 
which it is level. The view from the highest parts of 
the city is extensive and picturesque. To the N. are 
seen the city of Troy and the adjacent villages, and 
in the distance the hills of Vermont ; to the E. the 
beautiful country lying on the opposite side of the 
Hudson ; and to the S. the Helderbergs and Catskill 
Mountains. The principal streets are Broadway and 
Pearl street, which run parallel with the river, and 
State street, 100 feet wide, which ascends the hill to 
the Capitol, and thence narrower to the limits of the 
city proper westward. Washington avenue runs 
parallel to it, commencing from in front of the City 
Hall, and continues as the Schenectady turnpike. 
Among the public buildings and institutions are the 
new capital, a magnificent edifice in the Renaissance 
style, and built of New England granite, at a cost of 
above $10,000,000, the State Hall for State offices and 
the City Hall for city offices, both of marble and front- 
ing on small parks near the old Capitol ; the State 
Museum of Natural History in the same building 
with the collection of implements and ijroductions 
of the field of the State Agricultural Society ; the 
State Library, containing, with the law department, 
over 90,000 volumes ; the Bureau of Military liecord, 
containing memorials of past wars ; the Dudley Ob- 
servatory, possessing the best astronomical instru- 
ments and Scheutz's tabulating machine, and now 
having also a physical observator}' ; the Medical Col- 
lege, which, with the Law School and the Observa- 
tory, now has an organic coiinection with Union Col- 
lege at Sclienectaday, under the name of Union 
University ; two public hospitals, and a State normal 
school. The Albany Institute is a society first formed 
in 1791 for the advancement of science, and publishes 
its transactions. There is a public high school, one 
academy for boys, and three for girls. In 1880 there 
were 38,000 children of school age, of which 14,632 
only were enrolled in, and 9,193 in average attendance 
at the ])ublic schools. There are abt. 60 i)laces of 
worship ; the largest aud most imposing church being

the cathedral of the Immaculate Concei)tion. There 
is also a Young Men's Association, a Young Men's 
Christian Association, and numerous other benevo- 
lent and social associations. The penitentiary, sit- 
uated on the W. of the city, was opened in 1848, has 
60 cells, and is conducted under the contract system 
of labor, the men being employed in shoemaking, 
and the women in chair-seating. For 30 years after 
the Revolution, Albany was the seat of the entire 
trade of the W. part of the State, the produce being 
brought in by sleighs in winter; but ihe growth of 
the city- was not rapid. The first great impulse to 
its commercial prosperity was given by the success- 
ful trips of the Clermont, the first steamboat of Ful- 
ton, in 1807, and the improvements in steam naviga- 
tion which immediately followed. The steamboats 
now upon the Hudson R. are among the largest that 
navigate any inland waters. The Erie Canal, com- 
pleted in 1825, and the various lines of railroad con- 
structed since that time, have each essentially added 
to the growth and prosperity of the city. A sand 
har, abt. 3 m. below the city, frequently impedes the 
passage of large vessels in dry seasons. Tliere are 6 
or 7 railroads leading from Albany ; the Hudson R. 
and the Harlem to New York city, the Boston and 
Albany to Boston; the Rensselaer and Saratoga to 
Vermont and Canada ; the New York Central to 
Buffalo ; and the Albany and Susquehanna to Bing- 
hamton on the N. Y., L. E. & W. RR., besides steam 
and horse railroads to Troy. The river is crossed by- 
two railroad bridges, and a third is in way of con- 
struction, incorporated for a third, over which teams 
will also pass. The most prominent manuf. has 
hitherto been stoves, including now hollow-ware, 
averaging annually $3,500,000 in value. There are 9 
shoe factories, 33 brewers and malsters, and several 
manuf. of aniline colors, furniture, flour, brick, oil- 
cloth, ]iaper collars, safes, pianos, jewelry, soap, can- 
dles, boilers, machinery, &c. The lumber market in 
the value of its lumber is second to none, the quan- 
tity received being valued at $13,000,000 a year. Its 
cattle trade is of the greatest importance, being the 
central market for New York city and New England, 
and its stock traffic amounts to $20,000,000 a year. 
Grain and the products of the extensive local manu- 
facturing interests are also exported. Commerce is 
facilitated by a large number of slips for vessels, by 
a large dock, and by a pier, forming a great canal 
basin. There is also a very large grain elevator, 
owned by the N. Y. C. RR. The city has a board of 
trade and a board of lumber dealers. Albany is a port 
of survey in the U. S. customs district of New York. 
There are 7 nat. banlcs, 2 other banks, 3 private 
bankers, 7 savings banks ; 5 fire and 1 life insur- 
ance companies ; 7 daily, 12 wkly or bi-wkly papers, 
and 6 monthly periodicals. The city is chiefly sup- 
plied with water by gravitation from an artificial lake 
in the Sand Plains, abt. 5 m.W. The fire department 
has 7 steam fire-engines and a fire-alarm telegraph 
system. Albany is the oldest settlement in the 
original 13 colonies except Jamestown, Va. It was 
first settled by the Dutch in 1614 as a trading port. 
Fort Orange, or Aurania, was erected here in 1623. 
The village was successively called Beverwyck and 
Williamstadt. In 166-1 it was called Albany, for the 
duke of York and Albany, afterward James II. Till 
the Revolution it was the center of a large Indian 
trade. Here was held the first General Congress, to 
make arrangements for the national defence ; and 
here, upon the 4th of July, 17.54, Franklin and 
other patriots "signed the first plan of American 
Union, and proclaimed to the colonies that they were 
one people, fit to govern, and able to protect them- 
selves." Albany became the State cup. in 1797. Its 
pop. in 1790 was 3,.506; in 1810, 10,762; 1830, 24,238; 
1850, 50,762; 1870, 69,422; 1880, 90,905.

Aleii'tiitit I<>laii4l»!» [from the Russian alcjit, 
a bold rock], a chain of small islands situated in the 
Northern Pacific Ocean, and extending E. from the 
peninsula of Kamtschatka, in Asiatic Russia, to the 
promontory of Alaska, in North America. This 
archipelago has been sometimes divided into three 
groups, the islands nearest Kamtschatka being prop- 
erly called Aleutia, the central group the AuUreanov 
or Andreanovian, and those nearest to the proraon- 
torj'the Fox Islands. Thev are all included between 
52° and 55° N. lat. and 172° E. and 163° W. Ion. The 
"whole of the islands are bare and mountainous, and 
their coasts are rocky and suri'ounded by breakers, 
toy which the approach is rendered exceedingly dan- 
gerous. The laud rises immediately from the coasts 
to steep bald mountains gradually ascending into 
lofty ranges running from E. to \V. Springs take 
their rise at the bottom of the mountains, and either 
flow in broad and rapid streams into the neighboring 
sea, or, collecting in the rocky vales and glens, form 
ample lakes, which send off their superfluous waters 
by natural canals into the adjacent bays. These 
islands bear evident marks of volcanic "formation, 
and several of them have still active volcanoes, which 
continually emit smoke and sometimes flames. The 
most important grouj) of the chain is that called the 
Fox Islands, of which the largest are Unimak and 
■Ounalaska, both near the W. extremity of Alaska. 
The thin argillaceous soil of the Aleutian Islands 
produces little vegetation, and agriculture is almost 
unknown. The climate is .subject to sudden changes, 
and is very unfavorable to any attempts at cultiva- 
tion. Few trees grow on the islands, but there are 
some stunted shrubs of birch, willow, and alder. 
The principal occupations of the Aleutians are fish- 
ing and hunting, and the pi-eparatiou of the imple- 
ments necessary for both. Since the end of last 
century the fur traders have had settlements here 
for the capture of the seal and the sea-otter, which 
are found in great numbers on the shores, and of the 
Arctic fox, Mhich roams over the islands. Fish are 
abundant, and dogs and reindeer are common. The 
pop. of the whole group is abt. 8,000, the natives be- 
ing a kindred race to the inhabitants of Kamtschatka. 
Until 1867 these islands belonged to Russia, but they 
were included in the transfer to the U. S. of the 
whole Russian possessions in America made in that 
year. They now form part of the territory of Alaska. 
From the position of the Aleutian Islands, stretching 
like a broken ridge from Asia to America, some eth- 
nologists have supposed that bj' means of them 
America was first peopled. See Alaska.

Alleg-Iiaiiy ^Vlouiitaius, or Allebuanies, 
a name sometimes used as synonymous with the Ap- 
jjalaehian system of mountains. In a more restricted 
.-cnse it is applied to the parallel ranges which trav- 
erse Pennsylvania, Maryhmd and \iriiinia, and form 
the most prominent features in the physical geogra- 
phy of those States. The general direction of these 
ridges is nearly N. E. and S. W., and their mean 
height abt. 2,5()U ft. Among their highest summits 
are the Peaks of Otter, in Vireinia, rising to 4,200 ft. 
above the sea. These ridges are remarkable for the 
parallelism of their direction and the uniformity of 
Llieir outline and altitude, and enclose several beau- 
tiful and fertile valleys. The rocks of the AUegha- 
nies are the Silurian and Devonian limestones and 
sandstones, and the group of strata called the coal- 
measures. See Appalachian Mountains.

The region in the neighborliood is remarkably pictur- 
esque, espec-ially journeying to the W.; and some of 
the most wonderful triumphs of engineering are to be 
seen in the 11 m. covering the ascent of tlie mt., to 
reach the summit of which, double power is required 
on all trains, although engines are dispensed with 
ou the descent. One notable feature on the road is 
the" horse-shoe bend" following the brink of a prec- 
ipice by a very short curve. At the summit of the mt. 
the road runs through a tunnel 3,070 ft. long. The

S. bank of the Severn R., 2 m. from its entrance into 
Chesapeake Bay, 20 m. S. hy E. of Baltimore, and 22 m. 
E. by N. of Washington, 40 m. by rail to either of 
these cities, and 30 m. by water (steamboat) to Balti- 
more; lat. of the State House, 3S°58'N.; Ion. 76° 29' W. 
The A. & E. RR., 21 m. long, connects it with the 
Washington branch of the B. A: 0. RR. Annapolis was 
formerly a port of entry, but its ti"ade has been trans- 
ferred almost entirely to Baltimore, and it is now 
chiefly distinguished as the seat of the State govern- 
ment and of the U. States Naval Academy. It con- 
tains a State House, governor's mansion, court-house, 
jail, anat. and a savings bank, several oyster-packing 
houses, 2 hotels, 1 daily and 4 wkly papers, 6 churches, 
an Episcopal mission, colored Bethel, and Catholic 
college. It is also the seat of St. John's College, a 
State institution, founded in 1784. The naval academy 



was established here in 1845. The grounds connected 
with it are very extensive, including an observatory 
which possesses a complete collection of the most 
perfect astronomical instruments, and a carefully 
selected library of 15,000 volumes. Two ships 
of war are attached to the institution during 
the summer months as practice ships and for sail- 
ing upon an ocean voyage. The harbor, or An- 
napolis Roads, is one of the finest in the country, 
there being a depth of 60 ft. in the channel up to 
Round Bay, in the Severn R., 7 m. from the city. The 
city has both gas and water-works. Providence, as 
A. was first called, was founded in 1649, but it did 
not get a charter until 1708, when it also received 
its present name in honor of Queen Anne. It has 
been the seat of government since 1689. Pop. 6,643.

the waves. The land area is estimated at 200 sq. m. 
Brown sandstone is quarried and exported from the 
islands. La Poiute, on Madeline Island, is the cap.

Appalacli'ee In«lians, a once powerful 
tribe of W. Florida. They M'ere conquered and con- 
verted to Christianity by Spanish missionaries, but 
the oppression and cruelties of the colonial authori- 
ties, together with the destructive invasions of Eng- 
lish colonists and Indians from Carolina, greatly 
diminished their numbers. Si ion after 1700 a part 
removed to what is now Alabama, and the tribe soon 
ceased to exist. 

Appalacliee River, Ga., has its source in 
Gwinnett co., flows S. E. along the N.E. border of 
Walton and Morgan cos., and empties into the Oco- 
nee R. abt. 5 m. E. of Buckhead, after a course of 
abt. 75 m. 

Appalacliian IVIonntains, the general 
name given to a vast system of elevatinns, partly in 
Canada, but mostly in the U . States, extending for 1,300 
m. from Cape Gaspe, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, 
S.W. to Alabama. The whole system may be con- 
veniently divided into three great sections : the 
XoHhern, from Cape Gaspe to New York; the Central, 
from New York to the valley of the New R.; aud the 
Southern, from the New R. onward. The first of 
these includes the Adirondacks, the Green Mts., and 
the White Mts., and the irregular elevations toward 
the N.; the central contains a large portion of the 
Blue Ridge, the Alleghanies proper, and a great 
number of lesser ranges ; and the southern consists 
of the prolongation of the Blue Ridge, the Black 
Mts. ,the Smoky Mts. , and the Uuaka Mts. The whole 
range, and especially the central portion, is remark- 
able for the parallelism of the various ridges, the 
uniform height of the summits in the same part of 
the chain, the absence of a central axis of elevation, 
aud the presence, instead, of a central valley or axis 
of depression. The typical arrangement of the sys- 
tem — most distinctly visible in the central division — 
might be represented in diagram thus : first, a stretch 
of country, gradually sloping, with slight undula- 
tions and irregularities, upward from the Atlantic, 
and attaining a height of 300, 500, or 1,000 ft.: then, 
a lofty ridge rising like a rampart, and succeeded by 
other ridges separated from each other by longitudi- 
nal valleys ; next, the great central valley or axis of 
depi'ession ; and lastly, a new succession of ridges 
breaking off into table-land with transverse valleys 
and a gradual decrease of elevation. The Atlantic 
slope varies in breadth from 50 m., as in New Eng- 
land, to 200 m., in the S., and in the neighborhood 
of New York has almost altogether subsided. The 
central valley may be traced from Lake Champlain 
in the N., along the course of the Hudson, down 
through the Cumberland Valley, in Penn.sylvania, 
aud the Great Valley of Virginia and Tennessee ; it 
varies in breadth from 15 m. in the N. to 50 or 60 m. 
in the S. The elevation of the valley rises toward 
the S. in keeping with the elevation of the neighbor-

mg ranges. None of the summits of the system 
reach the region of perpetual snow, but a large 
number of them attain a considerable altitude. In 
the Adirondacks the highest point, Mt. Tahawus or 
Mt. Marcy, reaches .5,379 ft. In the White Mts., Mt. 
Washington, in the main chain, has a height of 6,288 
ft.; Mt. Adams, 5,794; Mt. Madison, 5,365; Mt. Jef- 
ferson, 5,714 ; Mt. Clay, 5,553 ; Mt. Monroe, 5,384 ; 
Lafayette, 5,390 ; and a great number of summits 
attain a height of more than 4,000 ft. In the Green 
Mts. the highest point, Mt. Mansfield, is 4,430 ft.; 
Lincoln Mt., 4,078 ; Killington Peak, 4,221 ; Camel 
Hump, 4,088 ; and a number of other heights up- 
ward of 3,000 ft. In the central division the hypso- 
metric surveys are imperfect, but the general eleva- 
tion of the higher chains is from 1,000 to 2,500 ft. 
As we approach the S., the complexity of the system 
and the altitude of the individual mts. increase to- 
gether, and the chains which have run parallel and 
distinct begin, as it were, to gather and fold them- 
selves into an irregular coil. The peaks of Otter, in 
Virginia, are abt. 4,000 ft. high ; and in the Black 
Mts., the Black Dome (Clingmann), which is the 
culminating point of the whole system, attains the 
height of 6,707 ft.; Balsam Cone (also known as 
Guyot, from the hypsometrical explorer of the re- 
gion) has 6,671 : Black Brother, 6,619 ; and Mt. Hall- 
back (Sugarloaf), 6,403; besides a large number of 
summits varying from 3,000 up to 6,000 ft. In the 
Smoky Mts, we have Clingmann's Dome, 6,660 ft. 
high ; Guyot, in Tennessee, 6,636 ; Mt. Alexander, 
6,447 ; Mt. Leconte, 6,612 ; Mt. Curtis, 6,568 ; several 
others upward of 6,000, and a great many of more 
than 5,000. In the whole Appalachian system, Lake 
Champlainis almost the only lake of any importance, 
but a multitude of rivers, and some of them of con- 
siderable size, find their sources in its recesses. The 
watershed does not lie along any continuous axis, 
but shifts its position several times along the line. 
In the N. it is found in a stretch of country, called 
the Height of Land, that lies between the White and 
the Green Mts., and gives birth to the Connecticut 
and a number of smaller streams ; next, it is formed 
by the Adirondack Mts., which supply the source 
oif the Hudson R.; and further S. by the high pla- 
teaus of Pennsylvania and New York, which give 
origin to the Delaware and the Susquehanna, with 
their numerous tributaries. These rivers, flowing S. 
and E., have thus to cut their way through the suc- 
cessive ridges of the whole Aj^palachian range. The 
watershed is next situated in the Alleghanies proper, 
which send a number of affluents to the Ohio on the 
W., and give rise to the James R. on the E.; and 
lastly, it runs along the terminal cluster or coil com- 
posed of the Black, the Smoky, and the Unaka 
Mts. Here a tributary of the Ohio, called the Red 
R., a number of the aitluents of the Tennessee, and 
various less important streams, have their sources. 
The Appalachian Mts. are a vast storehouse of min- 
eral wealth. Magnetite, hematite, limonite and other 
iron ores are found in great abundance. The first is 
best exhibited in what is frequently called the 
Champlain Iron District, where it is now largely 
manufactured, and it also attains remarkable devel- 
opment in various parts of New York and New 
Jersey. The extensive deposits of this ore in Vir- 
ginia, N. Carolina, and Georgia, have hitherto been 
turned to comparatively little account. It is fre- 
quently contann'nated by phosphate of lime, sulphur 
and titanium. Red hematite is found in New York, 
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Georgia, and is usu- 
ally known as Clinton ore, from a place of that name 
in Madison co.. New York, while in Tennessee it is 
called Dyestone ore. It is of great commercial im- 
portance, though, on account of the amount of phos- 
phorus which it contains, it is worthless for the 
manufacture of steel. Limonite, or brown hematite, 



which, from its fusible character, is usually worked 
along with the more crystalline ores, occurs in a 
series of beds all along the banks of the Appalachi- 
ans, from Maine to Georgia. The earthy carbonate 
of iron — " clay ironstone ore," " shell ore," " kidney 
ore " — is found in most parts of the system in con- 
nection with the •arboniferous strata, and has been 
very largely manufactured. In the N. district alone 
— that is, in the E. part of New York, in New Jersey, 
and E. Pennsylvania — the number of furnaces in 1880 
was 219, and the gross prod, of iron for that year 4,458,- 
828 tons, or abt. 62 per cent, of the entire prod, of the 
U. States. This abundance of ore would have been al- 
most useless had it not been for the equally abundant 
supplies of fuel ; and the coal measures are among 
the most extensive in the world, the bituminous coal 
alone covering an area of 56,000 sq. m., without 
counting the unrivalled beds of anthracite in Penn- 
sylvania and New York, which cover an area of be- 
tween 400 and 500 sq. m. While the supply of gold, 
silver, copper and lead is of comparatively no im- 
portance, marble, limestone, fire-clay, o;ypsum and 
salt are extremely abundant. Many or the ranges 
are richly covered with forest, and yield large quan- 
tities of valuable timber, consisting chiefly of sugar 
maple, white birch, beech, and ash, in the N., and 
oak, cherry-tree, white poplar, white and yellow 
pine, toward the 8. The dark foliage of the pines, 
balsam firs, hemlock trees, and cedars, gives color 
and name to many of the districts. Rhododendrons, 
kalmias, azaleas, and other flowering shrubs, often 
grow in almost impenetrable thickets, and in some 
parts the botanist is at once delighted and bewildered 
by the profusion and variety of the smaller plants. 
Bears, panthers, wild cats and wolves haunt the 
forests in large numbers. 

Appa-lneltico'la, Fla., a W. river formed by 
the union of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rs., at the 
S. W. angle of Georgia, flows S. abt. 75 m. into St.

chicola Bay. It is navigable for steamboats through 
its whole course, and with its branches is supi)osed 
to drain not far from 20,000 sq. m. The tide runs up 
60 m. There is a fine light at the N. W. end of St. 
George's Island to indicate the entrance of the bay.

Arizona, a territory, bounded N. by Utah, E. 
by New Mexico, S. by Mexico, and W. by California 
and Nevada. According to the Act creating it a ter- 
ritory in 1863, Arizona comprises all the lands of the 
U. States formerly belonging to New Mexico, extend- 
ing from W. Ion. 109° to the California line. Since 
then, however, the N.W. corner has been ceded to 
Nevada ; area, 112,920 The territory lies in the 
basin of the Colorado R., which enters in it abt. 37° 
N. lat.. and forms its western boundary southwards 
from 36°. In the north there is an extensive but bar- 
ren plateau, with an average elevation of 7,000 ft. 
through which the Colorado cuts its way, and forms 
one of the most remarkable gorges in the world, the 
length being abt. 300 m., and the perpendicular 
walls reaching heights of from 3,000 to 6,000 ft. 
South of this plateau is the valley of the Colorado 
Chiquito (Little Colorado, or Flax R.), which joins 
the Colorado in 36° 15' lat. N., and 113° Ion. W., while 
further S. the ground rises into another plateau, the 
main portion of which is known as the Mogollon Mts. 
In this district the country is reported to be beauti- 
ful and fertile, the mountains coven d with noble 
pine trees, and the valleys clothed with rich mez- 
quite grass. Further S., again, is the basin of the 
Gila, with its numerous tributaries, obliquely crossed 
by detached prolongations of the Sierra iVIadre of 
Mexico. The mountain ranges run parallel from the 
N.W. to the S.E. The highest peaks are Mt. San Fran- 
cisco, more than 12,000 ft. high, and Bill Williams 
Mt. South of these are the Juniper Mts., a chain of 
low, rolling hills. Eastward are the Black Hills, rug- 
ged and steep, and a favorite stronghold of the hos- 
tile Indians. The inhabitants of Arizona are mostly 
Indians. Of these 4,300 Pinas and Maricopas occupy 
a reservation of 64,000 acres on the Gila R. ; 4,000 Pa- 
pagoes, a wandering tribe in the S.E. part of the ter- 
ritory, have no gi'ounds allotted them ; 4,000 Mohaves 
have 75,000 acres on the Colorado R. ; 2,000 Yumas 
live near the mouth of the Colorado, but belong to 
the Mohawk reservation ; while 1,500 Hualapais and 
8,000 or 12,000 Yavapais and Apaches, without set- 



tled habitations, live in a state of continual warfare 
with their neighbors. Owing to the savage temper 
of the Apaches the N. and N.E. section of the terri- 
tory are not fully explored. The territory must for a 
long time depend upon the development of its min- 
ing advantages, and these are to be found in the 
southern part, where, owing to sandy, arid wastes, 
agriculture cannot flourish. The most valuable min- 
ing district has the suggestive name of Tombstone, 
but it is wonderfully rich in silver. Another famous 
mining centre is in Pioneer district, the Silver King 
mine being the best for its yield and facilities in 
working of any in the territory. While the earth in 
this region is loaded with silver, it should also be 
remembered that at Clifton lies the biggest deposit 
of pure, superior copper in any part of the world. 
Its supply is believed to be almost without limit, and 
it is ready for the markets of the world, only awaiting 
the simplest handling. The Tip-Top mines in the 
Bradshaw district are now known to be rich and very 
profitable. Ross Browne, in 1868, attributed the want 
of success in the mines to the comparative inaccessi- 
bility of the territory, which was without seaports or 
finished lines of overland travel ; also to trouble 
made by Indians, lack of water for their working, 
and the refactory character of the ores of the lodes 
then opened. These conditions are fast being im- 
proved. Besides the lodes of gold and silver on nearly 
all the streams, iron, platinum, quick-silver, and coal 
exist in different parts of the territorv. For the year 
1882 the total yield of gold was $1,060,000 ; of silver 
.§7,300,000. — In the country bordering on the Santa 
Cruz a large quantity of land can be made productive 
without irrigation, but agriculture must be almost 
profitless in the southern part for want of streams of 
water. The grazing lands are about three-quarters of 
the entire area of 55,000,000 acres, and of irrigable 
lands there are abt. 1,000,000. The Colorado desert 
lies below the bed of the river, and for 150 m. has a 
soil of marl and shells, needing only moisture to in- 
sure fertility. The vegetable productions are iron- 
wood, mesquite, cotton- wood, sycamore, ash, oak, 
willow, walnut, prickly pears, cactus, aloe, artemisia; 
and under cultivation, grapes, flgs, oranges, lemons, 
tomatoes, tobacco, Indian corn, and the other cereals. 
Much 01 the land produces two crops in the year. The 
chief prod, for the census year 1880 were 36,246 lbs. of 
corn, 189,527 of wheat and 239,051 of barley. Live- 
stock on farms in the same year consisted of 6,798 
horses, 891 mules and asses, 982 working oxen, 9,156 
milch cows, 34,842 other cattle, 76,524 sheep, and 
3,819 swine. — The recent completion of a line of rail- 
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific, via the Southern 
route, places Arizona upon a great national highway 
which passes entirely through its southern part and 
brings it within four or five days' time of the city 
of New York. — The territory is divided into 10 
counties, viz. : Apache, Cochise, Gila, Graham, 
Maricopa, Mohave, Pima, Pinal, Yavapai, and Yuma. 
The principal towns or villages are Florence, Globe, 
Phoenix, Prescott (the cap.), Tombstone, Tucson, 
and Yuma. — The governor and other executive 
officers and the judges of the Supreme Court, 
are appointed by the President of the U. States. 
The people elect members for the legislature and 
a delegate to Congress. — Arizona is a part of the 
territory obtained from Mexico by the " Gadsden 
Purchase," in 1853, for ten millions of dollars, 
and was organized as a territory, Feb. 24, 1863. 
Great losses were inflicted upon the early set- 
tlers by the nomadic Apaches, whose depredations, 
down to the present time, have seriously retarded 
the development of the country. Pop. in 1870, 9,658; 
in 1880, 40,440 (of whom 28,202 males, greatly exceed- 
ing the females, 12,238 ; 24,391 natives and 16,049 
foreigners — chiefly Mexicans ; 35,160 whites, 155 
colored, 1,632 Chinese, and 3,493 taxed Indians).

Arlcan«i»a»«, a tribe of Indians, allied by lan- 
guage to the Dakotas, formerly residing on the Ohio. 
Like the northern Dakotas, they appear to have been 
once divided into several bands or minor tribes. 
Driven from their old haunts by the Illinois and other 
Indians, they went southward and became the con- 
stant and powerful allies of the French of Louisiana. 
They number at present some 200, and live in the In- 
dian Ter. They are now generally called Qucqxai'. 
— a S. W. river, the next largest tributary of the Mis- 
sissippi after the Missouri, rises in the Rocky Mts. W. 
of the South Park, in lat. 29° N., Ion. 106' W., at an 
elevation of 10,000 ft. above sea level. It flows E. 
through Colorado to near the center of Kansas, and 
thence generally S. E. through the Indian Ter. and 
the State of Arkansas to its junction with the Mis- 
sissippi at Napoleon, 255 m. (direct) above New Or- 
leans. Its whole length, including its curves, is over 
2,000 m. to its extreme source. In the summer it 
pours a broad, deep stream from the mountains upon 
the arid plains through which it passes, which so ab- 
sorbs its waters that in the dry season it can be 
passed, many hundred m. below the mountains, with- 
out reaching as high as the knees. The Great Cana- 
dian Fork enters it on the S. side, and is its largest 
tributary. It is so impregnated with salt in some 
parts as to be unfit for drink. During the periodical 
swell it is navigable nearly to the Rocky Mts., and at 
other times for 600 m. above its entrance into the 
Mississippi. The navigation is unobstructed by 
rocks, shoals or rapids. The soil on its borders in 
some of the lower parts is fertile ; in the upper parts 
it is sterile. For 30 or 40 m. from its mouth, which is 
300 ydi. wide, it passes through an inundated forest. 
— a S.W. State, situated between lat. 33° and 36° 30' 
N., and Ion. 84° 45', and 94° 40' W.; area, 53,045 sq. 
m. It is bounded N. by Missouri, E. by Tennessee 
and Mississippi, from which it is separated by the 
Mississippi R., S. by Louisiana, and W. by the Indian 
territory. It belongs to the great basin of the Mis- 
sissipjii, being watered by that river and by several 
of its main tributaries, which are all more or less 
navigable. Of these the principal are the St. Francis, 
in the northeast ; the White R. with its affluents, the 
Cache, Little Red, and Black Rs. in the N.; and not- 
ahlv the Arkansas, which, entering the State at Fort 
Smith, traverses it in a S.E. direction until it .ioins 
the Mississippi at Napoleon. The S. part of the State 
is watered by the Washita in the E., and by a bend 
ot the Red R. in the W. The E. part of the State, 
bordering on the Mississippi, is low and swampy, and 
is annually overflowed. Westward the country grad- 
ually attains a greater elevation, passing off into hills 
and undulating prairies, which lead up to the Ozark 
Mts., bej'ond which, again, an elevated plain 
stretches towards the Rockv Mts. The Ozark Mts., 
do not exceed 2,000 ft. in he'ight, and the only other 
great elevations are the Black Hills and the Washita 



gr 

Hills. In the district N. of the Arkansas R., the three 
leading geological formations are the " mill-stone 
grit, with its associate shales and conglomerate ; the 
subcarboniferous limestone and its associate chert, 
shales, and sandstones; and the magnesian limestones, 
and their associate sandstones, calciferous sandrocks 



and chert, belonging to the lower Silurian period." 
The mineral products are reported to be very con- 
siderable, " including zinc, manganese, iron, lead, 
and copper, marble, whet and hone stones, rock- 
crystal, paints, nitre-earths, kaolin, granite, free- 
stone, limestone, marls, greensand, marly limestones, 
grindstones, and slate." The zinc ores are said to 
compare very favorably with those of Silesia, while 
the argentiferous galena produces a high average 
percentage of silver. Of coal, anthracite and lignite, 
there are abundant supplies. A great number of 
mineral and thermal springs occur in various parts 
of the State, the most remarkable and most fre- 
quented groups lying to the S. of Arkansas in Hot 
Springs co. The heat of several attains 146° or 148° 
Fahr. Among what are called natural curiosities may 
be mentioned the sandstone dam across Lee's Creek 
in Crawford co., the Mammoth Spring in Fulton, 
which is supposed to have underground connection 
with Howel's Valley in Missouri, and is said to pour 
forth its water "at the rate of 8,000 barrels per 
minute," the Bee Rock in White co., and the crystal- 
line productions of Magnet Cove. — A very large jior- 
tion of eastern Arkansas is as yet covered with vir- 
gin forests, in which are to be found vast quantities 
of valuable timber, such as the oak, walnut, cypress, 
ash and poplar; in the western portion, pine, oak, 
walnut, cherry and cedar, besides an infinite varietj' 
of other timber possessing local value. The eastern 
or level portion of the State is well adapted to the 
growth of cotton, corn and oats. Every variety of 
vegetables common to this latitude is produced. Cot- 
ton is the principal crop grown in this section, and 
in quality of fibre, or in yield per acre in quantity, is 
surpassed by none of the cotton-producing sections. 
At the fairs at St. Louis and Memphis cotton pro- 
duced here has ever cariied off the premium. The 
yield per acre is from li bales to ^ of a bale of .WO 
pounds of lint cotton. Corn is also successfully 
grown in this section, yielding from 20 to 60 bushels 
per acre. Oats yield from 20 to 50 bushels. In this 
region the small fruits, such as the strawberry and 
raspberry, as well as the peach, plum and early va- 
rieties of apple, are successfully and profitably 
grown, finding a market for the most part at St. 
Louis. The Irish and sweet potatoes, as well as the 
turnip, yield large returns. Portions of this section 
of the country seem to be the home of the grape 
from the infinite number, varieties and excellent 
quality of many of those growing wild over the 
whole face of the country. The western portion, 
from its elevation as well as from the component 
parts of its soil, is adapted to the growth of all the 
cereals grown in this or even N. of this latitude. 
Corn, wheat, oats, tobacco and the various culti- 
vated grasses, such as timothy, red top, herds-grass 
and clover, are successfully grown. The yield of 
corn is from 25 to 75 bushels, wheat from 12 to 30 
bushels, oats from 30 to 60 bushels per acre. Timothy 
yields from 2 to 3 tons per acre. In this section the 
apple, i)ear, i)lum and cherry, grow to perfection, 
unsurpassed in form or flavor. This section of the 
State in the beauty of its scenerj-, the purity of its 
air, with its numberless cool, sparkling springs and 
pellucid brooks, and salubrity of its climate, will 
compare favorably with any ]iart of the U. States. — 
Wild game, consisting of bears, deer, turkeys, 
ducks, prairie-chickens, and quail, is abundant and 
the rivers, lakes, and the Ijayous are well stocked 
with fish, among which are pickerel, black bass, 
buffalo, and catfish, the latter sometimes weighing 
150 pounds. In the bayous and lakes, and in the Red, 
Ouachita, and Arkansas Rs., the alligator occa- 
sionally makes its appearance, though" less abun- 
dant than in Louisiana and Texas, serpents and other 
reptiles are plentiful in the lowlands, and the rattle- 
snake and mocassin are found in the hills. — The

In 1880 the State had 146,333 horses, 87,082 mules 
and asses, 25,444 working oxen, 249,407 milch cows, 
483,392 other cattle, 246,737 sheep, and 1,565,098 
swine. There were in 1870, 49,359 farms, averaging 
154 acres each ; and 94,433 in 1880, averaging 145 
acres each.— This state has no direct foreign com- 
merce, but large quantities of cotton, corn, hides, 
wool, lumber, etc., are exported through New Or- 
leans. But little attention has been given to manu- 
facturing. The census of 1880 gives 1,202 establish- 
ments, with an aggregate capital of $2,953,130 ; 
hands employed, 4,557 ;"wages paid, $925,358 ; value 
of materials, $4,392,080 ; value of products, $6,756,- 
159. — Arkansas is still one of the most backward 
States in educational facilities. The public school 
appropriations amount to only $205,000 per annum, 
being considerably less in proportion to the school 
population than is spent by any other State. Con- 
gress has granted over 1,000,000 acres of land to Ar- 
kansas for school purposes. In some sections the 
State fund is supplemented by liberal local levies. 
Considering the facts that the public school system 
was not established until 1868, and that in 1870 only 
75 per cent, of the adult population could read and 
write, substantial educational progress is being made. 
The penitentiary, the institute for the blind and the 
deaf mute institute are all located at Little Rock. 
The State Industrial University, at Fayetteville, of- 
fers 4 years' free instruction in its preparatory and 
collegiate departments to 230 students appointed by 
county judges and to 237 in its normal department. 
The other institutes for superior instruction are, 
Arkansas College at Batesville, Cam Hill College at 
Boonsboro, Judson University at Judsonia, and St. 
John's College at Little Rock. The last statistics at- 
tainable report 1,181 librairies in the State, 1,371 
church organizations, and 1,141 edifices. — In 1882 
there was 1,041 m. of railroad in operation, and there 
was in contemplation a great extension of railroad 
facilities, which will contribute largely to the mate- 
rial development of Arkansas. — The financial troubles 
of Arkansas date from its first erection into a State 
in 1836. A State bank was organized, and authorized 
to issue $2,000,000 of bonds, and further credit was 
obtained by means of a real estate bank, whose $1,- 
500,000 of bonds were guaranteed by the State and se- 
cured by the public lands.Both institutions suspended 
payments in the second year. This was the commence- 
ment of the State debt, the unskillful manage- 
ment of which has ever since impeded the progress 
of the State.. The State debt matured in 1862. Since 
the restoration of self-government in 1869 the weight 
of public sentiment has favored the evasion of the 
vast liabilities which it would still tax all the re- 
sources of the State to discharge in full. The debt 
contractea in waging war against the Federal 
Government was declared void. The levee bonds 
6 



were decided to be unconstitutional by the Supreme 
Court in 1878, and all the railroad-aid bonds have 
since been declared by the same court to have been il- 
legally issued. The vote on the Fishback amendment, 
which repudiates the bulk of the debt of Arkansas, 
was about 61,000 for, to 41,000 against. It was declared 
not carried, because it lacked 4,000 of a majority of 
all the votes cast. The liabilities, considered not bind- 
ing by so large a proportion of the citizens of the 
State,consist of abt. $2,000,000 of levee bonds, $5,000,- 
000 of railway-aid bond.s,and other disputed liabilities, 
aggregating abt. $4,000,000. There is an admitted 
debt amounting to some $5,000,000, over half of which 
is funded. The settlement of the debt question in a 
way which shall be understood to be final, whether by 
the acknowledgment of the entire debt, or the repu- 
diation of a portion of it, would probably promote 
the commercial progress of Arkansas. Although 
its development has been slower than that of any 
other State, the natural resources of Arkansas are 
scarcely excelled. Nearly the entire area of the 
State is cultivable land of high average quality. The 
soil is seven to ten feet in depth, and contains potash, 
soda, magnesia, ferrous oxide, lime, and phosphoric 
acid in favorable quantities. The greater part of the 
10,000,000 acres donated by Congress as "swamp- 
laud," need no reclamation whatever. Timber-land 
in this State is easily brought under cultivation, as 
stumps rot thoroughly in three years. The crops of 
the prairie States and of the Gulf States thrive equally. 
The yield of cotton is as large iu proportion to the 
labor applied as in any part of America. It is a surer 
crop iu Southern Arkansas, probably, than in any 
other district. Sugar-cane, tobacco, and all the 
cereals are cultivated with profit. The planting-sea- 
son lasts from February till August, so that, if a 
crop does not promise well, a second one can be 
planted and harvested the same season. — Arkansas 
is divided into 64 cos., viz.: Arkansas, Ashley, Bax- 
ter, Benton, Boone, Bradley, Calhoun, Carroll, Chiot, 
Clark, Clay, Columbia, Conway, Craighead, Craw- 
ford, Crittenden, Cross, Dallas, Desha, Dorsey, Drew, 
Faulkner, Franklin, Fulton, Garland, Grant, Greene, 
Hempstead, Hot Spring, Howard, Independence, 
Izard, .Jackson, Jeilerson, Johnson, La Fayette, 
Lawrence, Lee, Lincoln, Little River, Logan, Lonoke, 
Madison, Marion, Miller, Mississippi, Monroe, Mont- 
gomery, Nevada, Newton, Ouachita, Perry, Phillips, 
Pike, Poinsett, Polk, Pope, Prairie, Pulaski, Ran- 
dolph, St. Francis, Saline, Scott, Searcy, Sebastian, 
Sevier, Sharp, Stone, Union, Van Buren, Washington, 
White, WoodrufE, Yell. There are no large cities. 
Little Rock, the cap., is a place of considerable traf- 
fic. The other chief towns are Camden, Fort Smith, 
Helena, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, and Princeton.— 
The legislature, which meets biennially, consists of 
a senate of 26 memberg, elected for 4 years, and a 
house of representatives of 82 members, elected for 
2 years. The governor receives a salary of $5,000. The 
supreme court consists of a chief justice appointed 
by the governor, and 4 judges elected by the people. 
There are 10 circuit courts. Arkansas sends a repre- 
sentatives to the Federal Congress, and has 7 electoral 
votes. — This State was a part of the domain of 
Louisiana purchased from France in 1803.1t was made 
a separated territory iu 1812, and was admitted as a 
State in 1836. An ordinance of sessions was passed 
May 6, 1861. A new constitution was ratified by the

Atlanta, Oa., the cap. of the State and also of 
Fulton CO., is situated at an elevation of 1,100 feet 
above the sea, 101 m. N.W. Macon, 171 m. W. of 
Augusta, and abt. 7 m. S.E. the Chattahoochee R. 
It is laid out in the form of a circle, abt. 3 m. in di- 
ameter, the Union passenger depot occupying the 
center. Oglethorpe park, at the terminus of Mari- 
etta street, contains fine drives, lakes, &c. The chief 
public buildings are the State capitol, the first Meth- 
odist church (South), and the Kimball House, one of 
the largest hotels in the South. There are 40 chur- 
ches of different denominations, the Methodists 
being most largely represented. Laid out in 1845, 
and "incorporated in 1847, A. has since rapidly in- 
creased, and IS now the largest and most important 
city in the State. It is the center of a large trade in 
grain, cotton and tobacco, and has extensive railway 
communications, the A. & W. P., A. & R.. W. & A., 
G., and M. & W. RRs. connecting here. The princi- 
pal manuf. are a rolling mill, 3 iron foundries, 3 plan- 
ing mills, several flour mills, a cotton factory with a 
capacity of 20,000 spindles and 550 looms, two rail- 
way shops, a brewery, several tobacco factories, a 
manuf. of agricultural implements, several paper 
mills, ttc. The business of the city amounts to abt. 
.$50,000,000 annually. The val. of property in 1880 
were .$17,811,612. There are 8 banks with capital of 
.«1,300,000; 3 daily, 11 wkly, 1 semi-monthly and 11 
monthly papers and periodicals. A very good pub- 
lie school system was organized in .1872. There 
are 7 grammar schools (of which 3 for colored chil- 
dren), and 2 high schools; other institutions of learn- 
ing are the North Georgia female college, Atlanta 
Medical College, Oglethorpe College, Atlanta Univer- 
sity (colored), two business colleges, an English and 
German select school, and an orphans' free school. 
Oglethorpe College has a library of 5,000 volumes ; the 
young men's library possesses 8,000 volumes, and 
the State library contains 20,000 volumes. The city 
is governed by a mayor and a board of 14 councilmeu 
(2 from each ward). During the war A. was the cen- 
ter of important military operations, and suffei'ed 
greatly in consequence. It was strongly fortified by 
the Confederates, and defended, first by Gen. Joseph 
E. Johnston, and then by Gen. Hood, against the at- 
tack of Gen. Sherman. Hood was compelled to 
evacuate the city (Sept. 1, 1864), and Sherman after- 
ward retired to Chattanooga — movements which oc- 
casioned the destruction by fire of the greater part 
of the buildings, both public and private. Here was 
held in 1881 an International Exposition, whose great 
object was the exhibition of cotton and cotton ma- 
chinery. It was successful beyond the most san- 
guine expectation, and promises to be very beneficial 
in its effects to the whole South. Besides showing 
to farmers how to improve the cultivation and hand- 
ling of the cotton crop, it has opened the eyes of the 
Southern people to the possibilities of wealth that 
lie around them by attempting to compete with the 
North iu manuf. their own fabrics from their own 
oreat fibre. Pop. in 1850, 2,573; 1860, 9,554; 1870,

Baltimore, Md., a N. co., bounded N. by 
Pennsylvania, and S. by the Patapsco ; area, 718 sq. 
m. The surface is undulating, with wooded ridges 
enclosing fertile valleys, and with bold hills often 
rising to 800 feet above sea level. On the Great 
and Little Gunpowder, the Patapsco, Gwynn's, and 
Jones' Falls Rs., are large cotton, woolen, and car- 
pet factories, furnaces, foundries, paper and flour 
mills. Copper and iron are foi:nd in considerable 
quantities, and iron is extensively mined. The total 
prod, of iron and steel for the year 1880, was 69,944 
tons. Near Texas and Cockeysville are extensive 
quarries of excellent marble. The soil is moderately 
rich. The chief agricultural prod, in 1830 were 393,- 
4C3 bush, of wheat, 1,304,698 of com, 314,060 of oats, 
49,821 of rye, 340,816 of potatoes, and 664,304 lbs. of 
butter. It contains the city of Baltimore. Cap., Tow- 
sontown. Val. of taxable prop. abt. $500,000,000. 
Pop. 415,534(of whom65,880for., and 64,364 colored). 
— a city of the above co., one of the most flourishing 
cities in the U. States, and the 7th in point of Pop., 
is pleasantly situated on the N. branch of Patapsco 
R., 14 m. from its entrance into Chesapeake Bay, 
178 m. from the Atlantic, 40 m. N.E. Washington, 
98 m. S. W. Philadelphia, and 185 m. 8.W. New York. 
It is built on slightly undulating ground, and ex- 
tends abt. 4J m. from E. to W., and 3^ from N. to 
8., covering an area of 10,000 acres. It is divided 
into two nearly equal parts, known as East and 
West Baltimore, by a small stream called Jones' 
Falls, crossed by a number of bridges. Baltimore 
contains abt. 300 churches, and has 3 universities, 
several colleges, 133 public schools, a State normal 
school, besides numerous private schools and acade- 
mies, an academy of art and science, hospitals, a 
museum, and many fine public buildings, the most 
imposing of which is the new city hall, a fine speci- 
men of the Renaissance, style of architecture, and 
one of the finest structures of the kind in the coun- 
try. Another important public building is the Pea- 
body Institute, founded and endowed by George 
Peabody, and designed for the diffusion of knowledge 
among the masses. It contains a free library of 60,0i00 
volumes, a leeture-hall, a conservatory of music, etc.. 
Baltimore has several splendid monuments, which 
have acquired for it the name of " the Monumental 
City." The largest of these are Washington's Monu- 
ment and the Battle Monument. Baltimore is well 
supplied with water, and has a number of parks and 
publie squares, chief of which is Druid Hill Park, a 
tract of 700 acres possessing more natural beauties 
than any other in the U. States. The manufactures 
and commerce of Baltimore are very extensive and 
flourishing. There is scarcely a branch of industry 
that is not prosecuted to some extent in the city or 

r 



its vicinity, etc. In the vicinity of Baltimore is found 
the finest brick-clay in the world, of which more 
than 100,000,000 bricks are made annually. The 
Abbott Iron Works, in the E. part of the city, have 
the largest rolling-mills in the U. States. An industry 
peculiar to Baltimore is the packing of oysters in air- 
tight cans for shipment to all parts of the world. 
Fruits and vegetables are also packed in the same 
way, the entire trade consuming from twenty to thirty 
million cans annually. This city is one of the greatest 
flour-markets in the Union, and has a large export 
trade in tobacco. There are 17 nat.and 8 private banks, 
7 daily, 41 wkly, 53 semi-monthly, and 14 monthly pa- 
pers, 17 fire and marine and 3 life insurance companies. 
The harbor, which consists of three parts, is ex- 
cellent. Its entrance, between Fort M'Henry and the 
lazaretto, is abt. 600 yards wide, with 33 ft. of wa' 
ter. This depth is continued with an increased width 
for a mile and a quarter, to near Fell's Point. The 
entrance to the second harbor is opposite Fell's 
Point, where the width is contracted to one-fourth 
of a mile, with a depth of 16 ft. Above this entrance 
it widens into an ellipse of a mile long, half a mile 
broad, and 15 ft. deep. The third, or inner harbor, 
has a depth of 14 ft., and penetrates to near the 
center of the city. Vessels of the largest class can 
lie at the wharves neai- Fell's Point, Locust Point, 
and Canton, and those of 500 tons can come into the 
inner harbor. The railroads centering at Baltimore 
are the B.&O. , one of the gi-andest works of its kind in 
the world ; the N.C.; the P.,W.&B.; the Washington 
branch of the B.&O.; the W.M.; and the B.&P. Two 
lines of foreign steamers connect the city with the 
Old World, while her admirable system of railroads 
place her in rapid communication with all parts of 
the country, and enable her to successfully compete 
with New York for the traffic of the West and North- 
west. Baltimore has also a considerable coasting 
trade. It was first settled in 1663, but it was not till 
1729 that its erection was authorized by the assembly 
of Maryland. In 1752 it contained but 35 houses and 
200 inhabitants. Pop. in 1800, 26,514 ; in 1810, 35,538 ;

RR. affords the only all-rail route between Bangor 
and St. John, New Brunswick, a distance of 206 m. 
Bangor is situated on both sides of the Kenduskeag, 
which is crossed by several liridgcs. The bridge 
across the Penobscot, to the pleasant town of Brewer, 
is 1,320 ft. in length. The harbor, directly below the 
mouth of the Kauduskeag, is spacious, and is suf- 
ficiently deep for vessels of a large class. The Pen- 
obscot is navigable to the city for vessels of 300 or 
400 tons, the tide alone rising to the height of 17 ft. 
In the winter season, for abt. 4 mouths, the river 
freezes 12 m. below, to Frankfort. The situation of 
the city is pleasant and commanding, affording a fine 
view of the Penobscot R. and of the surrounding 
country. Mauj' of the streets are broad and well 
shaded with elm trees. The public and private 
buildings of the city are, many of them, neat and 
elegant. It contains a handsome custom-house,

Congregational), founde'd in 1816, is beautifully situ- 
ated in the most elevated part of the city ; it has a 
library of 13,000 volumes. The trade is extensive, 
particularly in lumber, of which it receives, next to 
Chicago, a greater quantity than any ctther city in the 
U. States. Abt. 2,000 vessels are ai'iuually employed, 
during the season of navigation, in freigliting lumber, 
timber, &c., to various places, besides others engaged 
in foreign commerce and in the fisheries. For the

B«'liriiia''H Strait, tlie channel which sep- 
arates the n!!;. corner of Asia from the N.W. comer 
of America, and which connects the North Pacific 
with the Arctic Ocean. It is formed, in its narrowest 
j)art, by two remarkable headlands, the extreme 
])0ints E. and W. of the continents to which they 
belong; Cape Prince of Wales (Alaska), on the Amer- 
ican coast, in lat. 65° 46' N., Ion. 168° 15' W. ; and 
East cape, on the shore of Asia, in lat. 66° 6' N., Ion. 
169° 38' W. The distance between these points is abt. 
36 m. ; but N. and S. of them, the land on both sides 
rapidly recedes, and, on the N. especially, it trends so 
sharply, that the name of .Strait is not very applicable 
to any part beyond the cajies in that direction. It is 
usual, however, to regard it as extending along Asia 
from Tchukotskoi Noss, in 64° 13', to Serdre Kumen, 
in 67° 3' N., which gives it a length of 400 m.; its 
width between Tchukotskoi Noss (173° 24' W.) and 
Cape Rodney, on the ojiposite shore of America (166" 
3' W.), is abt. 250 m. 'I'lie land on both sides is con- 
siderably indented. The water has an equal, but not 
great depth. Shoal water appears to be principally 
confined to the bayc and inlets on the American side. 
There are a few small islands scattered here and 
there along the strait ; and one of some size, St. 
Lawrence, or Gierke's Island, lies at a short distance 
S. from its entrance. The temperature is low ; b\- the 
end of August the thermometer sinks to the freezing 
point, and N. of the two capes there is always a store 
of ice which the heat of summer is quite powerless 
to disperse. It need scarcely be added, that the strait 
is frozen over every winter. Fogs and hazy weather 
are very common, almost, indeed, perpetual ; for, 
though the summer sun is above the hoi'izon for a 
very considerable time, yet he seldom shines for more 
than a few hours, and often is not seen for several 
days in succession. Vitus Behring may be considered 
as having settled in 1728, the fact of the existence of 
this strait, and therefore it is most pioi)erly called by 
his name ; but the complete discovery was reseived 
for Cook, who, in 1788, surveyed the whole length of 
both coasts, with a precision and accuracy which left 
nothing for after voyagers to ])erform.

Blacic ^loiiutaiiis, JV. V. The.se mountains 
which lie in Yancey and Buncombe cos., between the 
main central ridge of the Alleghanies on the W., and 
a portion of the Blue Ridge ou the E., form the culmi- 
nating range of the Appalachian system. They con- 
tain 12 measured peaks, which are higher than Mt. 
Washington in New Hampshire, and are so called 
from the dark gro. th of balsam firs and other ever- 
greens which cover their summits. L^nlike the other 
ridges of the Alleghanies, they lie for the most part 
transverse to the general tread of the range, and give 
this direction to the great valleys and rivers included 
between them. They rise from a district of great ele- 
vation, the heisrht of the valley at Asheville, on the 
French Broad R., being abt. 2,000 ft. above the sea, 
and that of Toe R. at Burnsville, Yancey co., abt. 
2,500 ft. From this plateau the drainage is toward the 
Ohio in a N. direction by the branches of the Great 
Kanawha, by those of the Holsten and the French 
Broad toward the S.W., and by those of the Yadkin 
and the Catawba into the Pedee and Santee, toward 
the S.E. The principal peak, called Clingman's 
peak, but known in N. Carolina as Mt. Mitchell, was, 
in 1844, estimated by Dr. E. Mitchell to be 6,672 ft. 
In 1856 Prof. Guyot determined the highest point, 
which he then called the Black Dome, to be 6,760 
ft. high. This is the highest point of the U. S. east 
of the Rocky Mts.

Boston, il/ass., the cap. of the State and of Suf- 
folk CO., the chief city of New England, the 6th in the 
U. States in point of pop., and fierhaps the 2d in com- 
merce, wealth, banking capital and valuation, is situ- 
ated at the W. extremity of Massachusetts Bay, on the 
B.&A., the B.&M., the B.&P., the B.&L., the B.,R.B. 
&L.,the E., the F., the N. Y.itN.E., and the O.C.RRs., 
237 m.N.E.New York, and202m.E.by S.from Albany. 
The city embraces Boston proper, East Boston, South 
Boston, Roxbury, Dorchester, Charlestown, Brigli- 
ton, and West Roxbury, containing in all abt. 22,000 
acres. Boston proper, or old Boston, occupies a 
peninsula of some 700 acres, very uneven in surface, 
whose Indian name was Shawmut, meaning "Sweet 
Waters." It was called by the earlier settlers Tri- 
mountain or Tremont. Uast Boston occupies the W. 
portion of Noddle's or Maverick's Island. Here is 
the deepest water of the harbor, and here the ocean 
steamers chiefly lie. South Boston extends abt. 2 m. 
along the S side of the harbor, an arm of which sep- 
arates it from Boston proper. The harbor is a spaci- 
ous indentation of Massachusetts Bay, embracing 
abt. 75 sq. m., including several arms. A wide sheet 
of water at the mouth of Charles R. is commonly 
known as Back Bay. There are more than 50 islands 
or islets in the harbor, and it offers many picturesque 
views. In the older portions of the city the streets 
are irregular, and generally narrow, though some- 
what has been done toward widening and straighten- 
ing them since the fire. Those in the new section are 
wide, well-paved, regularly laid out, and present a 
handsome appearance. — The public buildings em- 
brace those of the U. States Government, the State, 
the county, and the city. The new post-office, com- 
pleted in 1875 at a cost of over $3,000,000, is said to 
be the finest building in New England. The State 
House, standing on the highest landin the city — what 
remains of the old Trimouutain summits, was built 
in 1798, and has been recently greatly extended. Tliis 
edifice, with its golden dome, looks nobly down upon 
the " Common," so dear to the citizens of Boston. 
This park is considered to date from 1634, and by 
the city charter it is made public property forever. 
It contains 48 acres, laid out in sloping lawns and 
winding walks, and shaded by magnificent trees. 
Faneuil Hall,the " cradle of liberty," in Dock square, 
has a historical reputation, because of the meetings 
of the revolutionary patriots that were then held. 
The Boston public library, in Boylston street, next 
to the Library of Congress the largest in America, 
contains 375,000 volumes, besides 150,000 pamphlets, 
and the valuable Tosti collection of engravings. Bo.s- 
ton possesses so many other public buildings and in- 
stitutions, and its literary, learned, scientific, and 
benevolent societies are "so numerous, that even|a 
mere enumeration of them cannot be attempted here. 
The public schools of Boston have a high reputation, 



and its educational and literary institutes are not 
surpassed by any city in the U. States. Boston has 
numerous lines of steamers to the principal eastern 
ports of the U. States, Canada and England. The 
harbor has 164 wharves, and will aHord anchorage 
for 500 vessels of the largest class. Seldom has the 
foreign commerce of any port grown so rapidly as 
has that of Boston within the past ten years. In 1870, 
there were no transatlantic steamers sailing direct 
from this port. In 1880, the number which sailed was 
322. Boston early became distinguished for her spirit 
of enterprise, rapidly attained to eminence in com- 
merce after the revolution, and has since always 
maintained her rank among the commercial cities of 
the Union. In 1882 Boston ranked next to New York 
in extent of imports, and third in the value of ex- 
ports — New York being first and New Orleans second. 
The total value of imports was $69,716,147 ; of ex- 
ports 161,614,526 ; 594 American vessels of 265,186 
tons, and 2,424 foreign vessels of 1,151,045 tons en- 
tered from foreign ports ; and 573 American vessels 
of 247,228 tons, and 2,278 vessels of 1,057,944 tons 
cleared for foreign ports ; 872 vessels of 937,105 tons 
entered in the coastwise trade, and 1,166 vessels of 
1,055,.551 tons cleared. There were belonging to the 
port 733 sailing vessels of 237,123 tons, and 102 
steamers of 29,843 tons ; 63 vessels of 3,194 tons 
were employed in cod and mackerel fishing ; 25 ves- 
sels of 7,607 tons were built during the year. Not- 
withstanding the rapid increase of her foreign com- 
merce, it is in her domestic trade that Boston has 
made of late the most important gains. In boots and 
shoes, clothing, dry goods, wool, leather, lumber 
and fish, she holds a leading position, a!id the traffic 
in these branches was larger in 1883 than in any 
previous year. The total sales of merchandise dur- 
ing that year are estimated at $1,400,000,000. Acoord- 
ing to the census of 1880 there were in Boston 3,521 
nianuf. establishments ; capital invested $42,750, 134; 
hands employed 113,626 ; wages paid $23,715,140 ; 
value of stock used $77,586,607 ; value of products, 
$123,366,137. In 1883 Boston had 59 nat. banks, with 
an aggregate cap. of $51,650,000, 65 banking bouses, 
and lis saving banks ; there were 9 dailj-, 73 weekly, 
70 monthly, and 4 quarterly papers and periodicals. — 
The government is vested on a mayor elected annu- 
allj', a board of 13 aldermen, and a common council 
of 64 members, 4 for each ward. The fire department 
is divided into 31 steam-engine companies, 10 hose 
companies and 7 hook and ladder companies. Bos- 
ton is liberally suj^plied with water from Lake Co- 
chituate, 20 m. N. of the city. The total debt of the 
city in 1880 amounted to $43,030,136, all funded. The 
total income of Boston for the last vear was $30,044,- 
102; expenditures $18,327,880. The total valuation 
was $639,089,200. The tax levied, at the rate of $1.35 
on $100 was $9,466,896.— The first settler of Boston 
proper was the Rev. John Blaekstone, who sold his 
claim to the peninsula for £30 sterling, and removed 
to Rhode Island in 1635. On the 33d of February, 1822, 
the city was incorpoi-ated. It several times suffered 
from disastrous conflagrations, which, by turn, were 
described as "The Great Fire," but all these were 
eclipsed in their devastation by the disaster of 
November 9-10, 1872, in which hundreds of costlj' 
warehouses were destroyed, involving a loss of over 
$80,000,000. It is an evidence of the energy and re- 
sources of the citizens, that in a little more than two 
years after the catastrophe, the whole "burnt dis- 
trict," with widened and improved thoroughfares, 
was covered with solid, substantial, and palatial 
edifices combining all the safeguards, improvements, 
and conveniences of modern skill. Pop. in 1765 
(1st colonial census) 15,520 ; in 1800, 24,937 ; in 1820, 
43,298; in 1830, 61.392; in 1840, 93,385 ; in 1850. 136,- 
881 ; in 1860, 177,840 ; in 1870, 350,526 ; in 1880, 363,-

Brooklyn, K Y., the third city in the U.States 
in point of population, and the capital of Kint^s co., 
is located on Long Island on the side of the East R. 
opposite New York, and is populai-ly known as the 
"City of Churches." While it is in point of facta 
part of the great metropolis, yet being divided from 
it by a ship channel of importance, it remains a sep- 
arate city, which in many of its social aspects at 
least widely differs from New York. The city 

now inclucles all the county towns of the western 
part of the island, so that it now covers a larger area 
than any other city in the U. States. From Hunter's 
Point to Bay Ridge it has a river frontage of nearly 
9 m. The exterior line of the city measures 23 m., 
embracing an area of 13,337 acres. It is divided into 
Brooklyn proper and the Eastern District, consist- 
ing of that part of the city still known as Williams- 
burg, and the more northerly locality called Green- 
point. The ground on which the city is built exhibits 
considerable inequalities of surface, and thus in- 
creases the picturesqueness of its appearance, while 
the practical disadvantages of such a site have been 
overcome by skillful engineering. The streets, with 
the exception of Fulton Street, the principal 
thoroughfare, are generally straight, have a width 
of from 60 to 100 ft., and cross each other at right 
angles. — Chief among the public buildings are the 
City Hall (an edifice of white marble dating from 
1845-6), the county court-house (erected in 1862), 
the county jail (1837), the penitentiary, the State ar- 
senal, and the city hospital. Besides the last-men- 
tioned institution the benevolent establishments of 
Brooklyn include the Long Island College Hospital, 
St. Mary's and St. Peter's hospital, the female or- 
phan asylum, the marine hospital, the Graham insti- 
tute for the relief of aged women, and numerous 
other charities. The churches number abt. 250, many 
of them are beautiful buildings, but none claim 
special notice except the New Roman Catholic Ca- 
thedral, which is only rivaled by the corresponding 
building in New York. Of literary and artistic insti- 
tutions the most remarkable are the Mercantile Li- 
brary, the Brooklyn Institute, the Long Island His- 
torical Society, the Art Association, the Academy of 
Design, the Academy of Music, and the Philharmonic 
Society. There are 3 theatres, and an opera house, 
which dates from 1862. The educational establish- 
ments comprise the Packer Collegiate Institute for 
female education, the Polytechnic Institute for boys, 
the Adelphia Academy for both sexes, the Roman 
Catholic College of St. John, upwaids of fifty pub- 
lic grammar and primary schools, and nuinerous pri- 
vate institutions. — Though Brooklyn in some measure 
serves as a suburb of residence to New York, and 
many of its inhabitants carry on their business in 
the larger city, its own industrial and commercial 
activity is very great. It has flour-mills, sugar refin- 
eries, lager-beer breweries, distilleries, tobacco fac- 
tories, and chemical works.; and manufactures steel, 
brass and copper wares, engines, machinery, and 
printing presses. The grain trade is of enormous ex- 
tent, the warehouses being capable of holding abt. 
12,000,000 bushels ; and sugar, coffee, oil, hides, and 
wool are also largely imported. Most of the river 
frontage is lined with basins, wharves, and docks, 
the most important being the Atlantic dock, the 
Erie basin, the Brooklyn basin, the Wallabout basin, 
and the U. States navy j'ard. This last is on the S. 
shore of Wallabout Bay. This is the principal naval 
station in the country. The grounds embrace a total 
area of 144 acres. The }'ard proper comprises 45 acres, 
inclosed by a high brick wall. Abt. 2,000 men are 
employed here almost constantly. Among the most 
interesting things in the 3'ard is the immense dry 
dock, which is one of the most remarkable structures 
of the kind in the world. It is built of granite, and 
the main chamber is 286 ft. long by 35 ft. wide at the 



bottom, and 307 ft. long by 98 ft. wide at the top, 
with a depth of 36 ft. The enormous steam pumjis 
connected with the dock can empty it of water in 4^ 
hours. This dock cost considerably over $2,000,000. 
Just E. of the navy yard are extensive marine bar- 
racks, and on the opposite side of Wallabout Bay is the 
Marine Hospital, a handsome structure surrounded by 
21 acres of ground, and having accommodations for 
500 patients. The Atlantic Dock is fronting Governor's 
Island near the S. extremity of the shore line. This 
massive dock was built by a stock company. The basin 
is a parallelogram in form, has an area of 40 acres, and 
a depth of 25 ft. It will accommodate the largest ves- 
sels ; 500 vessels can occupy it at one time, and 400 
canal boats, besides many other vessels, have floated 
upon it at once. The pier line on Buttermilk Chan- 
nel is 3,000 ft. long, and the total wharfage is abt. 2 
m. Surrounding the basin on all sides, excepting an 
entrance 200 ft. wide for vessels, are substantial 
brick and granite warehouses from 2 to 5 stories high, 
and covering an area of 20 acres. Here are 9 steam 
grain elevators, the largest capable of raising 3,000 
bushels per hour. S. of the Atlantic Docks, on Gow- 
anus Bay, are the Erie and Brooklyn basins, of sim- 
ilar design and construction, and still farther S. 3 
large dry docks. — Brooklyn is not a port of entry, it 
is a part of the customs district of New York. The 
city is supplied with water by an elaborate system of 
reservoirs, of which the most distant is 19 m. away 
in the vicinity of Hempstead. It has 4 nat. and 9 State 
and other banks, 5 dailj', 18 wkly and 13 monthly 
papers, and several fire, marine and life insurance 
companies. — Prospect Park, the great breathing spot 
of Brooklyn, is finely situated on an elevated ildge in 
the S.W. part of the city, and commands a magnilicent 
view of the cities of New York, and Brooklyn, the 
inner and outer harbor,Long Island, the Jersey shores, 
and the Atlantic. The location, and the natural ad- 
vantages of the park, consisting of fine old shade 
trees, wooded hills, and broad meadows, render it 
more attractive than the New York Central Park. 
The lake covers an area of 61 acres, all of which is in 
winter allotted for skating. Washington Park, on the 
siteofancientfortificatiou, isalsoajileasant spot, and 
there are various other open grounds throughout the 
city. At the W. end is situated the well known Green- 
wood cemetery, which contains abt. 520 acres of finely 
varied ground, a good part of which is still adorned 
with natural wood. — The traffic of the city is facili- 
tated by tramway lines, and its connections with 
New York, which has hitherto been dependent on 
steam-boat ferries, has been recently rendered more 
convenient by a stupendous iron-wire bridge, which 
crosses the East R. near its W. extremity, and was 
inaugurated with great solemnity on Maj- 24, 1883. 
The bridge may be said to begin at Chatham square 
in New York and end at the corner of Sands and 
Washington streets in Brooklyn, but the bridge pro- 
per, the single span which constitutes the man'cl of 
engineering skill, stretches l,595i ft. from tower to 
tower and 3,460 from anchorage to anchorage. At 
the towers the bridge is 118 ft. above high water 
mark and in the centre 135 ft. It is 85 ft. wide, and 
costs over $15,000,000.— The first settlement of Brook- 
lyn, or as it was formerly called Breuckelen, dates 
from 1636, when a few Walloon colonists took up 
their residence on the spot that still bears the name 
of Wallabout (Waalbogt or Walloons' Bay). Eng- 
lish and Dutch settlers followed ; and in 1667, a 
charter was granted to the town by Governor 
Richard Nicolls. In 1698 the pop. only amounted to 
509 persons, of whom sixty-five were slaves. In 1816 
Brooklyn was incorporated as a village, and in 1834 
it became a chartered city. The pop. was in 1800, 
3,298; in 1820, 7,175; in 1830. 15,292; in 1840, 36,233; 
in 1850, 96,850 ; in 1860 (including Williamsburg) 
266,661 ; in 1870, 396,099, and in 1880, 5C6.689.

Buffalo, N.T.., a city, port of entry and the 
cap. of Erie CO., for many years called the " Queen 
City of the Lakes," the 13th cityintheU. States, and 
the 3d in the State of New York in point of pop., is 
situated at the extremity of Lake Erie, at the head 
of Niagara R. and at the mouth of Buffalo K., abt. 
293 m. N.W. New York City, — with a waterfront of 
2).2 m. on the lake and of the same extent on 
Niagara R. It has one of the finest harbors on the 
lakes, formed by the Buffalo R., a small stream, 
which is navigable for about 2 m. from its mouth. 
The entrance is protected by a breakwater, which is 
1,500 feet long, upon the S. side of the river; and 
there is also another on the N. side, by which a ca- 
pacious harbor is made. In 1869, the tJ. S. Govern- 
ment began the coustraction of an outside harbor, 
by building a breakwater, designed to be 4,000 feet 
long, fronting the entrance of the Buflalo R., and 
nearly completed. The city commands a fine view 
of the lake; the climate is pleasant and healthful; 
the streets, broad and generally lined with trees, are 
well paved, lighted, and supplied with sewers. 
There are many fine residences with attractive 
grounds, and numerous parks, squares and public 
places. The most prominent public buildings are 
the city and county hall, a granite stnicture, in the 
form of a double Roman cross, with a tower 245 feet 
high, costing over $2,000,000; the U. States Custom 
House and Post Office, the State Arsenal, and the 
Erie County Penitentiary, a State asylum for the in- 
sane in process of constnictiou. The city contains 
abt. 100 churches; it has an excellent system of public 
schools, a State normal school, the Canisius College, 
St. Joseph's College ; the Martin Luther College (the- 
ological); St. Mary's Academy and Industrial School 
for girls, and the Medical College of the University 
of Buffalo. The charitable institutions of the city 
are numerous. There are several libraries, the most 
important being that of the Young Men's Associa- 
tion, with about 30,000 volumes, and the Grosvenor 
Free Library, which contains abt. 15,000 volumes. 
Buffalo has an Academy of Music, a new opera 
house, and several other theatres ; 2 nat. banks, 
9 banking houses, 3 savings banks, and 3 private 
bankers ; 9 daily, 18 weekly, 1 semi-weekly and 4 
monthly papers. The city is divided into 13 wards, 
and is governed by a mayor and 26 aldermen. It has 
an efficient paid fire department and police, and is 
well supplied with water from the Niagara R. The 
value of real and personal estate in 1882 was $92,- 
266,315, viz.: real, $84,396,770, personal, $7,859,54.'). 
The position of BufTalo on the great water and rail- 
way channels of communication between the West 
and the East gives it a commercial importance sur- 
passed by that of few other American cities. It is 
the centre of an important system of railroads. Be- 
sides many narrow-guage roads, the lines converging 
here are the N.Y.C., the N.Y., L.E.&W., theB. N. 
Y.&P., the D.,L.&W., the C.S., the G.S., the B.&S. 
W.,the N.C.,the L.S.&M.C, and the A.V.RRs. Ow- 
ing to the increase of railroad facilities, there has

been a large decrease in the extent of the lake com- 
merce since 1862, and more recently in that of the 
canal. The canal tolls collected at Buffalo in 1881 
aggregated only $325,674 as compared with $736,631 
in 1880. The registered marine of the port in 1882 
comprised 229 vessels of 110,864 tons, of which 128 
of 70,996 tons were steamers. The value of imports 
from Canada in 1882 was $5,%6,596 ; of exports, 
$252,362. The number of lake vessels that arrived 
in 1882 was 664 (tonnage 110,595); the clearances 
numbered 633 (tonnage 105,773). The immense 
quantities of grain moving from the Western States 
to the seaboard constitute the most important fea- 
ture of the commerce of the city. The aggregate re- 
ceipts (including flour) by lake and the L.S.&M.C. 
RR.werein 1880, 112,042,927 bush.; in 1881, 62,062,895; 
in 1882, 87,116,090. For receiving, storing and trans- 
ferring this vast amount of produce to canal boats 
and railway cars, there are 36 elevators, capable 
together of storing 8,000,000 bushels, and of trans- 
ferring no less than 3,200,000 bushels a day. Live- 
stock and lumber from the Western States and 
Canada, and coal from Pennsylvania, are also lead- 
ing items in commerce. In 1882, 630,995 cattle, 1,- 
460,000 sheep, 1,965,350 hogs, and 17,.504 horses were 
received at Buffalo, and stock slaughtered aggrega- 
ted 637,925 heads. The receipts of lumber by lake 
in 1881 amounted to 240,802,160, besides about 40,- 
000,000 shingles, and 15,000,000 staves. The imports 
of coal in 1882 comprised 3,031,791 tons. The coal 
trade is rapidly increasing. The number of ships 
built at Buffalo in 1882 was 29, consisting of 20 
steamers of 1,915 tons in aggregate, 6 steam canal- 
boats of 813 tons, and 3 barges of 1,479 tons. Manu- 
facturing has made rapid strides of late years. The 
stove works are very extensive. The iron and nail 
and the malleable iron works, the planinsr-mills, 
grape-sugar and starch works, chemical works, and 
fertilizer works, are among the largest in the 
country. To these must be added the car wheel 
works, iron bridge building, agricultural imple- 
ments, freight cars, oil refineries, pork-packing 
houses, edge tools, organs and melodeons, 11 
large flour-mills, 60 malt-houses, 48 breweries, 
several distilleries, 11 tanneries, and other in- 
dustries too numerous to mention. The Board 
of Trade, constituted in 1844 and incorpoi'ated in 
1857, is an important institution. To its secre- 
tary, Mr. William Thurstone, we are indebted for 
much of the information above given. Buffalo was 
founded in 1801, became a military post in 1813, and 
was burned by the British on the last day of that 
year. After the war the place was rebuilt, and in 
1832 it attained the rank of a city. Pop. in 1820,

ISurling:ton, V(., a city<^, cap. of Chittenden 
CO., and the largest place in the State, is situated on 
Burlington Bay on Lake Champlain, 40 m. W. by N. of 
Montpelierby the C.Y.RR. It was first settled in 1773, 
but in 1800 the pop. was only 600. The principal 
streets are laid out at right angles, many of them 
well shaded with elm and maple trees. The location 
of the city is unequalled in this part of the country, 
and the beauty of its scenery imsui-passed anywhere. 
The geographical position of the city, midway of 
the E. shore of Lake Champlain, and the facilities for 
transportation by rail and water, make the whole 
valley of the lake tributary to it in the way of busi- 
ness. Its heaviest trade is in lumber. There are five 
planing mills, one of which alone dresses 50,000,- 
000 feet a year, and the whole amount dressed is 8,- 
000,000 or 10,000,000 feet per mouth. The capital 
invested is over .1^1,000,000. There are large quarries 
of building stone, of limestone, aud fine marble with- 
in or near the city limits ; lime-kilns and brick-yards 
are in active operation, and steam marble mills, ma- 
chine shops, foundries, sash factories, chair and fur- 
niture factories, paper mills, and many smaller man- 
ufacturing trades, are thriving. On the N.E. limit 
of the city the abundant water-power of the Winooski 
is utilized for woolen and cotton mills, flour mills, 
machine shops, chair factories, &c. A line of pas- 
senger steamers and a large fleet of tugs and barges 
ply between Burlington aud every port on the lake. 
The University of \ermont and Slate Agricultural 
College is situated here ; it was chartered in 1791, 
has 8 professors and an average attendance of 100 
students, besides a flourishing medical department, 
and ranks as one of the best institutions in the coun- 
try. The city has 14 public schnuls, 2 large Roman 
Catholic schools and an Episcopal institute for boys, 
several private schools, 9 churches, besides several 
mission chapels and 2 orphan asylums. There are 
2 nat. banks, 2 savings banks, and 1 private banking 
house; 1 daily and 3 wkly papers;! fire and 1 life 
insurance company. The libraries are the University 
Library, 15,000 vol. ; Young Men's Association, 2,- 
000 vol.; Young Men's Christian Association, 1,000 
vol., and the Fletcher Free Library. The city is sup- 
plied witli water from the lake, raised by steam 
pumps to a reservoir on the hill, which gives a head 
of 280 feet ; the water-works are under the control 
of the city, but the gas-works are the property of a 
corporation. Pop. 11,864.

Calitornia, a W. State, next to Texas the lar- 

fest in the Union, bounded on the N. by Oregon, E. 
y Nevada and Arizona, S. by Lower California — a 
province of Mexico, and W. by the Pacific Ocean. 
It lies between lat. 32° 20' and "40° N., Ion. 114° 20' 
and 124° 25' W.; length, 775 m.; greatest breadth 
330 m.; area, 155,980 sq. m. The sea coast extends 
the full length of the State, amounting, following the 
indentations, to abt. 700 m. The principal bays and 
harbors, beginning on the S., are San Diego, Santa 
Barbara, San Luis'Obispo, Monterey, San Francisco, 
Tomales, Bodega, and Humboldt. There are few 
islands on the coast, and they are small. The prin- 
cipal are the Santa Barbara Islands, which are 8 in 
number, and lie opposite the shore of Santa Barbara, 
Los Angeles and San Diego cos., the furthest one 
being about 60 m from the mainland. They are 
hilly, rocky, and generally sterile. Cal. may be div- 
ided into three quite distinct portions, and these are 
very different from each other in importance — the 
central being much the most densely populated, 
and in every respect the most valuable. This central 
portion is embraced between the parallels of 35° and 
40°, and has, on its E. side, the Sierra Nevada, and 
on its W. the Coast Ranges, with the Pacific Ocean 
at their W. base. Between these two mountain 
chains lies the Great Central Valley, which forms so 
marked a feature in the topography of the State. 
This valley is drained by the Sacramento R., flowing 
from the N., and the San Joaquin from the S., the 
two uniting abt. midway between the N. and S. ex- 
tremities of the valley, and entering the Bay of San 
Francisco through Suisun and San Pablo bays. The 
entire length of the Great Valley is abt. 450 ra.; and 
its breadth averages abt. 40 m., including the lower 
foot-hills, so that the entire almost level area con- 
tains abt. 18,000 sq. m. On the W. side, however, 
the conditions are greatly changed. The rain-fall, 
almost entirely cut off on the E. slope of the Coast 
Ranges, becomes considerable on the W. side of the 
more elevated Sierra, and numerous large rivers are 
fed from the melting snow during the summer, al- 
though, towards the close of the dry season the 
body of water which they carry has usually become 
very much diminished. N. of the parallel of 40°, 
where the Coast Ranges and the Sierra unite, and 
the Great Valley disappears, the country is extreme- 
ly rough and very thinly inhabited. The N.W. cor- 
ner of the State is also extremely rough and 
mountainous, and a large part of it quite uninhabit- 
able. That portion of Cal. that lies to the S. and E. 
of the S. inosculation of the Coast Ranges and the 
Sierra, comprising an area of fully 50,000 sq. m., is 
also very thinly inhabited, with the exception of a 
narrow strip along the coast. The region lying E. 
of the Sierra Nevada, and between the crest of that 
range and the boundary of the State, chiefly divided 
between the two cos. of Mono and Inyo, is also a 
very mountainous tract of country. There are many 
fine points iu the scenery of Cal., some of which 
have already become weil known from the descrip- 
tions of pleasure-travelers who have flocked to the 
State from all parts of the world. The granite pin- 
nacles and domes of the highest Sierra opposite 
Owen's Lake ; the snowy cone of Mount Shasta, 
rising 10,000 feet above the adjacent plains ; the 
lovely valleys of the Coast Ranges, with their pecu- 



liar vegetation — all these have their charms ; but the- 
point which is most attractive of all is the Yosemite 
(which see). The climate of Cal. is very different in 
different parts of the State, but there are certain pe- 
culiar features which obtain all over the State. In the 
first place, the division of the year into two seasons 
— a dry and a rainy one — is the most marked general 
characteristic of the Californian climate. Again, the 
climate of the Pacific coasts along its whole length 
is milder and more uniform than that of the States 
in a corresponding latitude E. of the mountains. 
Thus, we have to go as far N. as Sitka, in lat. 57°, 
to find the same mean yearly temperature as that 
of Halifax, in lat. 44° 39'. But, in addition, we no- 
tice that the means of summer and winter are much 
nearer the mean of the year in Cal. than in the east. 
This condition of things is not so marked as we ad- 
vance into the interior of Cal.; but everywhere in 
the State the winters are comparatively mild, and 
the heat of summer is much less disagreeable in its 
effects, because the air is exceedingly dry and the 
evaporation proportionately rapid. The climate of 
San Francisco is indeed wonderfully uniform ; and 
the bracing, cool air which sweeps in from the ocean 
during the afternoons of the summer, although not 
favorable to persons with weak lungs or sensitive 
throats, is the very breath of life for those who are 
in vigorous health. One great drawback to the en- 
joyment of the delightful climate of Cal., however, 
is the dust of summer, which seems, until one be- 
comes accustomed to it quite unbearable. — " The El 
Dorado of the nineteenth century "is ^o misnomer 
for Cal., which has the most wonderful gold-fields 
of the world. They were discovered in the middle 
of the last century by the Jesuits, who kept the 
knowledge a secret. In Feb., 1848, Captain Sutter, 
while digging the tail-race for a saw-mill, found 
gold, and the news of the discovery at once spread. 
The excitement extended throughout the Union, 
and the " Argonauts of '49" came swarming to the 
gold-fields. People ran about the country picking 
up the precious lumps, " as hogs in a forest root for 
ground-nuts." The first deposit of gold from Cal. 
was received at the U. States Mint, Philadelphia, Dec. 
8, 1848. After melting, the average value of the bul- 
lion was $18.50 per ounce. The product of 1848 was 
$10,000,000; 1849, $40,000,000; 1853, $65,000,000. 
Since the last-named year the annual product has 
fallen off to $18,200,000 in 1882. Organized compa- 
nies, with cajjital and machinery, have to a large ex- 
tent displaced the individual gold-hunter with his. 
simple pan. Silver mining has been attempted in 
many localities in Cal., generally with indifferent 
success. The product of silver mining for the year 
1882 was $750,000. In no other part of the world has 
cinnabar, the common ore of quicksilver, been found 
so widely disseminated as in Cal. The old Almaden 
mine of Spain has been worked for 2,500 years, and 
is still the most productive. The New Almaden of 
California, within 20 years yielded 537,176 flasks of 
76J lbs. each. The New Idria is but slightly infe- 
rior, and more than 20 other mines have been suc- 
cessfully worked. There are also valuable deposits 
of iron ore, coal, copper, tin, platinum, manganese, 
asphaltum, petroleum, lead, zinc, bismuth, gypsum, 
marble, granite, limestone, borax, sulphur, salt, etc. 
—All the products of the U. States are grown in 
Cal. Fruits are abundant, and of great size. 
Among them are apples, peaches, pears, plums, 
cherries, oranges, lemons, limes, figs, prunes, al- 
monds, mulberries, apricots, pomegranates, nectar- 
ines, etc. The olive is produced iu great perfec- 
tion. Wheat, oats, rye and flax are indigenous. 
Cotton, tobacco, rice, hops, hemp, jute, tea, coffee 
and chicory are successfully cultivated. The grapes 
and wines are celebrated. Mulberry trees thrive 
better than iu France, and the production of silk

Cal. requires a free school to be supported in each 
district six months in each year. The system in- 
cludes primary and grammar schools, high schools, 
evening schools, normal schools, technical schools 
and the State University. The University consti- 
tutes a perpetual public trust, and is free to both 
sexes. The schools of Cal. are justly famous, and 
the educational interest is in no State better appre- 
ciated and supported. The assessed value of real 
and personal estate, in 1881, Avas $610,263,829, and 
the taxation, at the rate of 6.55 mills, was $3,997,228; 
The total public State debt amounted to $3,391,906. 
There was in the State 2,260 m. of railroad in opera- 
ation. — Cal. is divided into 51 counties, viz. : Alame- 
da, Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, Con- 
tra Costa, Del Norte, El Dorado, Fresno, Humboldt, 
Inyo, Kern, Lake, Lassen, Los Angeles, Marin, 
Mariposa, Mendocino, Merced, Medoc, Moro, Mon-

San Benito, Saa Bernadino, San Diego, San Fran-

Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Santa C^uz, Shasta, 
Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Sutter, 
Tehama, Trinity, Tulare, Tuolumne, Ventura, Tolo, 
Tuba. Sacramento is the cap., and San Francisco 
the metropolis. The other cities are Los Angeles, 
Marysville, Oakland, San Diego, San Jose, and 
Stockton. — Election for State offices, members of 
Congress, and of the legislature are held biennially 
on the first Tuesday in September (odd years). The 
legislative department consists of an assembly, com- 
posed of 80 members elected for 2 years, and a 
senate of 40 members, elected for 4 years. The lems- 
lature meets biennially, on the first Monday in De- 
cember (odd years). The executive department con- 
sists of governor, lieutenant-governor, secretary of 
State, comptroller, treasurer, attorney-general, sur- 
veyor-general, and superintendent of public institu- 
tions, chosen by the people for 4 years. The judi- 
ciary consists of a supreme court, with 5 judges 
elected for 10 years; 17 district courts with 1 judge 
each, elected for 6 years, and county courts, consist- 
ing of 1 judge in each co., elected for 4 years, Cal. 
sends 6 representatives to the Federal Congress, and 
has 8 electoral votes. Upper Cal. was discovered in 
1538 by Castillo, a Spanish navigator. In 1578, Sir 
Francis Drake visited it, and gave it the name of 



New Albion. The Spaniards planted the first colony 
in 1768. The territory was purchased from Mexico 
by the U. States in 1847, for $15,000,000. A constitu- 
tion was adopted Nov. 13, 1847, and on Sept. 9, 1850. 
Cal. without ever having been under a territorial 
government, was admitted into the Union as a State. 
A new constitution (excluding Chinese from citizen- 
ship, etc.) was adopted May 8, 1879. The progress 
of Cal. has been of the most substantial character. 
The tendency of gold-mining to assume a stable 
character is shown by the annual steadiness of the 
crop. The great improvements which have taken 
place in mining machinery and methods now enable 
the working with profit of low-grade ores, of which, 
there are regular and enormous deposits. The injunc- 
tions which have in 1881 suspended the operations of 
some of the principal hydraulic mines of Cal. may les- 
sen by some millions the gold-harvest; but the move- 
ment to restrain the hydraulic miners from washing 
their tailings into the valleys, where they fill up the 
beds of the streams and destroy agricultural lands, is 
in itself an evidence of a growing conservatism of 
feeling — of the increasing disposition to look upon 
Cal. as a country in which permanent homes are to be 
made. In the agricultural capabilities of her soil lie the 
possibilities of her greatest wealth. The wheat crop 
of 1880, after supplying all home demands, including 
that of distilling, gave a surplus for export of no less 
than 1,400,000 tons — a surplus worth, even at the low 
rates that prevailed on account of the scarcity of 
tonnage, $37,500,000, or more than twice the whole 
bullion product of the State. Or, in other words, 
the wheat crop of Cal. for 1880, was worth more 
than half as much as the bullion product of the 
whole U. States. Among the most valuable of her 
industries in the future will be those of the vine- 
yard and the orchard. The natural adaptation of the 
soil and the climate has been proved beyond a ques- 
tion. The grape-growers of the State can now sell 
their grapes with as much certainty as the farmer 
his wheat. There is now sent to the Atlantic coast 
more wine than is imported from France, and it is 
estimated that the wine crop of 1880 yielded to the 
growers neariy $3,500,000. Pop. in 1860, 379,994;

Carbon, Ri., an E. co.; area, 400 sq. m. It is a 
mountainous district, made up of parallel ridges run- 
ning in a N.E. and S.W. direction. The largest of 
these is the Blue or Kittatinuy Mt., which bounds 
the CO. on the S.E. Anthracite is the principal prod. 
of the CO. The coal mines are in the smaller ridges 
N.W. of this. Of these, Mauch Chunk, at the E. ter- 
mination of the S. anthracite coal field, is the most 
important. At the top of Summit Mt. the beds have 
been opened and worked like a quarry, the coal lying 
in a mass not less than 50 ft. thick. The Hazleton 
and Beaver Meadow mines are in the N.W. corner of 
the CO. The coal is transported by RRs. from the 
mines to the Lehigh R., and thence by slack water 
navigation and canal, and also by the L.V.RR., down 
the Lehigh to the Delaware R. at Easton. The Lehigh 
R. traverses the co. across the line of its ridges ; but 
the mines are only on its W. side, and from 6 to 10 
m. or more distant. The yield of the mines in this co. 
is abt. the 6th of the whole production of anthracite. 
The L.V.RR., and branches to Mahanoy, Mount Car- 
mel, Hazleton and Audenried, traverse the co. The 
chief prod, in 1880 were 78,406 bush, of corn, 70,560 of

Catskill Creelc, iV. Y., a good mill stream, 
rises in Schoharie co., flows through the S.W. comer 
of Albany co., and enters the Hudson in Greene co., 
at the V. of Catskill. It has a descent of more than 
1,000 ft. in 35 m. 

Catskill Mountains, N. Y., a group of 
moderate elevation belonging to the great Appalach- 
ian system. They are situated for the most part in 
Greene co., their E. base being 7 or 8 m. distant 
from the v. of Catskill. They are chiefly remarkable 
for the beauty of their scenery and the magnificence 
of the outlook over the neighboring country. The 
most striking features of the Catskills are the cas- 
cades of the mountain streams and the deep gorges 
or "cloves" through which these find their way to 
the lower lands. The highest summits are Round 
Top, High Peak, and Overlook, the elevation of 
which, according to barometrical measurements, is 
abt. 3,800 ft. The clove of the Catterskill, or Kaater- 
skill, which commences a m. W. of two small lakes, 
lies between these and Round Top, the latter being 
on the S. and the lakes on the N. side. High Peak is 
6 m. distant from the head of the clove, and is reached 
by a foot path. The clove is a ravine of 5 m. in length. 
At its head the rivulet from the lakes meets another 
branch from the N., and their united waters flow 
with increasing swiftness to a point where the moun- 
tain divides like the cleft foot of a deer, leaving a 
deep hollow for the brook to tumble into. The de- 
scent of the first cascade is 180 ft., that of the second 
SO, and below these there is another fall of 40 ft. In 
the winter the upper fall becomes encased in a hol- 
low column of blue ice, which reflects in the rays of 
the sun the brilliant colors of the prism. Below the 
falls the sides of the gorge rise in a succession of

walls of rock to the height of 300 ft. or more. Othef 
falls are met with by following the stream down to- 
ward the Hudson, till 2 m. above the v. of Catskill 
the waters are discharfjed into the stream of this 
name. The Stony clove is G m. W. from the head of 
the Catterskill, in a portion of the group called the 
Shandaken Mts.; it is only 14 m. long. The clove of 
the Plattekill is 5 m. S., beyond the Round Toi) and 
High Peak ; its scenery possesses the same wild char- 
acter as the Catterskill. Numerous side streams de- 
scend the steep mountain on its S. side from an alti- 
tude of 2,000 ft., leaping from ledge to ledge till they 
mingle their waters witii the Plattekill. Where the 
stream first falls into the clove it is said to descend 
in successive falls 1,000 ft. in a few hundred yards ; 
and, as stated by others, 2, .500 in 2 ni. The streams 
which flow down the E. slopes of the mountains soon 
find their way into the Hudson. On the W. side the 
drainage is into the Schohariekill, which runs N. and 
falls into the Mohawk 50 ni. above its junction with 
the Hudson.

Cattaraiis'iis, N. F., a S.W. co., bordering 
on Pennsylvania; area, abt. 1,250 sq. m. It is partly

hilly, but there are few mountains of considerable 
altitude. The soil is rich and productive, yielding 
good crops of grain and affording excellent jjastur- 
age. The Alleghany R. and the numerous creeks 
which flow through the co., furnish motive power. 
Bog-iron ore, peat, marl, manganese, and sulphur 
are found in different places; salt springs have been 
discovered, and petroleum springs exist in the E. 
part. Cattle and lumber are the principal exports, 
the transportation of which is greatly facilitated by 
the N.Y., I...E.&W.RR., which traverses the co., and 
by the Genesee Valley Canal, which extends from 
Rochester to Orlean. The co. is also traversed by oth- 
er lines of RRs. The chief prod, in 1880 were 305, liW

Clianiplaiii L<ake, forms part of the bound- 
ary between New York and Vermont, and extends 
from Whitehall, N.Y., northward to Canada. It is 
about 125 m. long, and is narrow in proportion to 
its length. The S. half averages less than 2 m. wide, 
and in many places is less than a mile. In the N. 
part, where large islands occur in it, the width is 10 
m. or more. The greatest depth is about 280 ft. The 
water of this lake is discharged by the Sorel or Rich- 
elieu R., which issues from its N. extremity. The 
chief towns on its shores are Burlington and Platts- 
burg. Occupying a basin between tlie Adirundacks 
and the Green Mts., this lake is reniarkal)le for its 
beautiful and picturesque scenery. Numerous steam- 
boats ply daily between Whitehall and Canada in the 
summer. A naval battle was fought on Lake Cham- 
plain between Gen. Arnold and the British, Oct. 13, 
1776, in which the latter had the advantage. Sept. 
11, 1814, Com. McDouough gained an important vic- 
tory over the British fleet near Plattsburg. This lake 
is connected with the Hudson R. by the Champlain 
Canal.

Cliarlcston, 6'. C, a S.E.co., bordering on the 
Atlantic, including several islands, of which the 
largest is Edisto ; area, 1,906 sq. m. The San tee R. 
bounds it on the N., and it is drained by Ashley and 
Cooper Rs., which unite to form the harbor of Charles- 
ton. The other chief river is the Edisto, and there 
are numerous inlets, besides Charleston harbor, the 
N. and S. Edisto and S. Santee, which are generally 
navigable by small craft. The coast is broken by sev- 
eral bays and protected by a stretch of sandy islands. 
The surface is low, level, and in some places exposed 
to inundation. The soil embraces every variety, from 
the richest alluvial mould to the most sterile land. 
There are large quantities of waste land, most of it 
reclaimable. The sea-island cotton is raised along 
the rivers and coast. The olive, orange, and lemon 
have been found to mature in the open air, though 
cut down by occasional severe winters. The palmetto 
and the pine are among the indigenous forest trees. 
A communication between the Santee and Cooper Rs. 
has been opened by a canal 22 m. long. The chief 
prod, in 1880 were 279,968 bush, of corn, 75,613 of 
sweet potatoes, 4,569,526 bis. of rice, and 9,303 bales 
of cotton. Cap., Charleston. Pop. 102,825 (of whom 
4,283 for., and 71,890 colored). 

— a city, a seaport, and the cap. of the above co., 
Is situated in 32° 47' N. lat. and 79° 57 W. long. 100 
m. S.S.E. Columbia, 82 m. N.E. Savannah, Ga., and 
455 m. 8.S.W. Washington, D.C. It stands upon a 
flat tongue of land pointing S.E. between the Ashley 
and Cooper Rs., which here debouche into a spacious 
harbor extending abt. 7 m. S.E. to the Atlantic, with 
an average width of two miles. The harbor is sur- 
rounded by laud on all sides except the entrance, 
■which is abt. 1 m. wide and 18 ft. deep. The water 
in the harbor, however, is very much deeper. The 
harbor is well defended — at its entrance by Forts 
Sumter and Moultrie, and inside by Castle Pinckey 
and Fort Ripley. Owing to the lowness of the ground 
on which it is built, Charleston presents a peculiarly 
picturesque appearance from the harbor. Its prox- 
imity to the ocean tends materially to the equalization 
of the climate, which is generally delightful. The 
city has a water front of abt. nine m. The most noted 
public buildings are the city orphan house, the city 
hall, the custom house, the arsenal, the court-house 
and the Academy of Music. Charleston is one of the 
leading commercial cities of the South, being the 
outlet for a very rich rice and cotton producing 
country, and a point of supply for an extensive ter- 
ritory embracing S.C. and parts of N.C.,Ga.,Ala.,Fla., 
Tenn. and Miss. The commerce consists chiefly of 
exports. For the year 1882 the value of exports was 
$19,475,433 (of which 300,401 bales of cotton value 
$17,084,936, and 161,364 barrels of rosin and turpen- 
tine value $540,050); of imports $577,148. Besides 
this foreign commerce there is an extensive trade in 
cotton, rice, naval stores, phosphate, and lumber, 
which are snipped in large quantities to ports of the 
U. States. The large quantities of bone phosphate 
annually shipped, exported or consumed, which for 
the year 1881 amounted to 173,168 tons, are obtained 
in the vicinity of the city, where the richest deposits 
of this material in the U. States have been discovered. 
A valuable fertilizer is manufactured from the phos- 
phate. During the year 1882, 214 vessels of 93,530 tons 
enterea in the foreign trade, and 283 of 158,002 tons, 
cleared. The number of vessels registered, enrolled 
and licensed was 189 of 8,572 tons. Among the most 
important industries are the manufacture of fer- 
tilizers from phosphate, in which more than $2,000,- 
000 is invested, and the preparation of rice for market 



by removing the husk, cleaning, &c. The manuf. of 
sulphuric acid is extensively carried on in connection 
with the phosphate industry. Charleston has an ex- 
tensive wholesale trade in di-y goods, boots and shoes, 
clothing, hats and caps, drugs and medicines, &c. 
The city has 3 uat., 3 savings and 8 other banks, 
3 daily, 4 wkly and 1 monthly papers. Three railroads 
have their termini here, — the N.E. extending to 
Florence ; the S.C, to Augusta, Ga.; and the S.&C. 
The Santee canal, 22 m. long, connects Charleston 
with the Santee R. The city has an excellent fire de- 
partment, an efficient police system, and several 
charitable institutions, good public schools, and a 
normal school for girls. The higher institutions of 
learning are the College of Charleston, founded in 
1785, and the Medical Colleges of the State of S.C. 

The Charleston library, founded in 1748, has 
abt. 15,000 volumes. The city contains 39 churches, 
the most noted edifices being St. Michael's, built in 
1752, and St. Philip's, both Episcopal. — Charleston 
was founded in 1679 by English colonists under Wm. 
Sayle. After a seige of several weeks it was taken in 
May, 1780, by the British, who evacuated it in Dec, 
1782. Open hostilities in the civil war began at 
Charleston with the bombardment of Fort Sumter by

Cliarlesto"w^n,J/rtss., a former city and seaport 
of Middle'sex co., is a N. suburb of Boston, lat. 42° 
2' N., Ion. 71° 3' 33" W. It is situated on a peninsula 
nearly enclosed by the Mystic and Charles Rs., and 
is connected with Boston and Chelsea by 5 bridges. 
The ground is uneven, and rises into two eminences. 
Breed's and Bunker Hills, which afford delightful 
situations for dwellings. The city is handsome and 
well built, with pleasantlj* shaded rather irregular 
streets. Three avenues. Main, Bunker Hill, and Med- 
ford streets, traverse the peninsula, and, converging 
at its neck, make the fine broad avenue Broadway, 
passing through Somerville and over Winter Hill. 
The city has 13 churches, 2 nat. banks, 3 newspapers, 
public parks, hoi'se railways, a public library, and 
numerous charities. Here is also a State prison, 
after the plan of that at Auburn, N. Y., in which 
there are 600 convicts. There is an extensive U. S. 
navy-yard, occupying 70 to 80 acres, extending from 
the Charles to the Slystic R., in which are 3 large 
ship-houses, a ropewalk, the largest in the U. S., and 
machine shops for the manuf . of copper-woi'k, ma- 
chinery, and ordnance, capable of employing 2,000 
men. A dry-dock connected with the navy-yard is 
built of granite and cost §670,000. There are $10,- 
000,000 worth of government stores in the yard.

ker Hill, a granite shaft 220 ft. high, 31 ft. sq. at the 
base, and 15 at the top, was commenced in 1825 and 
finished in 1843. Charlestown is supplied with water 
from Mystic Lake, 5 m. distant. The water-works 
were finished in 1864, at a cost of $1,461,259. The 
water flows from the lake 1 m. by gravitation, is then 
pumped by 3 engines to a reservoir on Tuft's Hill, 
from which it flows 4 m. and supples Charlestown 
and the neighboring towns ; in all, a population of 
100,000. Charlestown is memorable from its associa- 
tion with the Revolution. It was burned by the 
British on the day of the battle of Bunker Hill. The 
city charter dates from 1847. The city of Charles- 
town was annexed to Boston, Oct. 13, 1873.

CIie!!»apeake Bay, Md. and Va., [from an 
Indian word meaning " mother of waters "J, a large 
inlet of the Atlantic, is abt. 200 m. long and from 7 
to 20 m. broad, and generally 9 fathoms deep, and is 
the largest bay in the U. States. Its entrance is 
wholly in Virginia, between cape Charles on the N. 
and cape Henry on the S., which are abt. 12 m. apart. 
It extends abt. 75 m. in Va., but lies mostly in Mary- 
land, where it extends 125 m., dividing the State into 
two parts, called the Eastern and Western Shore. 
This bay contains many islands, chiefly on its E. side; 
furnishes an extensive and a safe navigation for the 
largest vessels, and has many considerable bays and 
good harbors. The Susquelmnna enters it at its N. 
point; on its W. side it receives the Patapsco, Pat- 
uxent, Potomac, Rappahannock, York, and James 
Rs. On the E. shore the rivers are less extensive, but 
generally have large estuaries. They are the Elk, 
Sassafras, Chester, Choptank, Nanticoke, Pocomoke, 
and some others. The Potomac is navigable for 
large ships to Alexandria, 290 m. from the mouth of 
the bay. The entire surface drained by the rivers 
which enter this bay, has been estimated at 70,000 
sq.m.

Cheyenne City, Wijo., the cap. of the ter-

in the S. E. part of the territory, 516 m. by rail W. 
of Omaha, Neb., and 1,260 m. E. of Sacramento, Cal. 
The city is built on a broad, open plain, abt. 6,000 ft. 
above the sea ; Crow Creek, an affluent of the S. 
Platte, winds around it on two sides. The land rises 
slightly toward the W., while toward the E. it grad- 
ually though imperceptibly declines. The D.P.RR. 
connects it with Denver, Col., 106 m. distant. Fort D. 
A. Russel is situated 2J m. N.W. Cheyenne, and Fort 
Russel depot abt. half way between them. The de- 
pot is used for storing and distributing the govern- 
ment supplies for Forts Laramie and Fetterman, on 
the N. Platte, and the Indian agencies N. of the city. 
There are abt. 60 business houses, representing the 



CHI 



ordinary branches of trade. The principal manuf. 
are of saddles and moss-agate jewelry, the stone being 
found in large quantities in the territory. The 
machine and repair shops of the U.P.RR. are exten- 
sive. There are several hotels, a small theatre, a nat. 
bank, 2 daily and wkly papers and *> churches. Chej-- 
enne was settled in the summer of 1867, when the U. 
P.RR. first reached the point. At one period there 
were 6,000 inhabitants in the place and vicinity, but 
as the road was extended west the floating pop. mi- 
grated with it. Pop. in 1870, 1,450; in 1880, 3,4.56. 

Clieyeiine River, rises in Crooke and Lara-

Fousche, and the South Fork, which flow respectively 
N. and 8. of the Black Hills, unite E. of these moun- 
tains, in Dakota, to form the Big Cheyenne, which, 
after a N. E. course of abt. 150 m., empties into the 
Missouri in Stanley co., Dakota. 

Clieyennei^, a nation of Indians, dwelling 
in the U. States territories E. of the Rocky Mts., 
and connected with the great Algonquin family. 
They are associated with the Arapahoes, but are 
much more roving in their habits than the latter. 
They are divided in three bodies, on Milk R., Mon- 
tana, on the North Fork of the Canadian, and a small 
band apart. They are a tall, fine and courageous race. 
They are generally rich in herds and are great horse 
dealers. The attempts to educate them have met with 
little success, and their language is very difficult to 
learn. The tribe now scarcely numbers 3,000 souls.

Cliicag'o, III., the principal city of the State, 
and the cap. of Cook co., has within 50 years grown 
from a small Indian trading station to the position 
of the metropolis of the Northwest, the 4th in pop. 
of the cities of the U. States, and the greatest rail- 
way centre on the continent. It is situated on the W. 
shore of Lake Michigan, at the mouth of the Chicago 
R., 715 m. in a direct line and 912 m. by rail W. by 
N. from New York, and 260 m. N.N.E. of St. Louis. 
The site of the business portion is 14 ft. above the 
lake ; it was originally much lower, but has been 
built up from 3 to 9 ft. since 1856. It is an inclined 
plane, rising toward the W. to the height of 28 ft., 
giving slow but sufficient drainage. The climate is 
healthful and invigorating, and the city is kept 
singularly clear of all forms of malaria by the pre- 
vailing winds. The area of the city comprises 23,000 
acres, and extends over 7 m. N. and S. along the 
lake shore, and 5 m. E. and W. The streets intersect 
each other at right angles. There is an inlet called 
the Chicago R. which runs from the lake nearly a 
mile W. then separates into two branches, one run- 
ning N.W. the other S.W., thus dividing the city into 
three divisions, connected bj' more than 35 bridges, 
and by two tunnels running under the bed of the 
river. This river (" Chacaqua," Indian for thunder) 
gave the city its name. Originally it emptied into the 
lake, but a remarkable piece of engineering caused 
it to change its course, and, so to speak, run "up 
hill." (See Chicago River). The river has been so 
deepened that the largest vessels may be towed into 
any of its branches, which are supplied with docks 
and water-slips, affording a dockage capacity of 
nearly 40 m. more than 20 of which are already in 
use. State St., in the S. divison, is the Broadway of 
Chicago, and on it or near it are the finest commer- 
cial structures, hotels, retail stores, and the like. 
Other important business streets are Lake, Clark, La 
Salle, Randoli)h, Dearborn, Monroe, Madison, and 
Washington. In fact there is scarcely a street in the 
South or business district which does not contain 
some notably fine buildings. The finest residences 
ai-e in Wabash, Prairie and Michigan avenues, which 



CHI 



I 



are of a semi-suburban character, adorned with rows 
of trees, and bordered by villas surrounded with 
beautifully ornamented grounds. Most of the public 
buildings were burned down in the great fire of 1871, 
and have not been replaced as rapidlj' as the business 
structures destroyed at the same time. A new city 
hall and county court-house, estimated to cost S5,- 
000,000, and almost finished, is a magnificent struc- 
ture. A new U. S. custom-house and post office, 
costing upward of $5,000,000, is one of the finest pub- 
lic buildings in the country. The chamber of com- 
merce is a spacious and imposing building, and its 
interior decorations are very elaborate. The Exposi- 
tion Building, in which an exhibition of art and in- 
dustrial products is held every autumn, is a vast and 
ornate structure of iron and glass, surmounted by a 
dome 60 ft. in diameter and 160 ft. high. Chicago 
ranks next to New York in commercial importance. 
The shipment of leading articles of trade from 
Chicago was stated as follows in the annual report 
for 1882 of the Board of Trade (an association meet- 
ing daily, with a membership of 1,936).

There are 24 grain elevators, with an aggregate 
storage capacity of 23,623,000 lbs. There are vast store 
houses, where the grain is elevated from cars and ships, 
and disposed according to grades, then reloaded on 
cars and ships, all the work being done by machinery. 
Chicago is the greatest grain market in the world, her 
produce forming the basis for speculation, as stocks 
and gold do in New York. As a market for live stock 
it is the most important centre in the U. States. The 
vast live stock trade is transacted at the union stock 
yards, situated near the S. limits of the city, and con- 
nected with all the railroad lines. The receipts of live 
stock during 1882 were: 1,607,495 cattle and calves, 
5,817,504 hogs, 628,887 sheep, and 13,856 horses aggre- 
gate value $196,670,221. Chicago is a port of entry, and 
has a considerable commerce with Canada. The total 
value of domestic produce exported to Canada by 
lake in 1882 was $3,973,834. During 1882, 257 vessels 
of 119,554 tons arrived from and 327 of 154,621 tons 
cleared to foreign ports ; 13,094 vessels arrived and 
13,299 cleared in the coasting trade. The total num- 
ber of vessels owned in the district of Chicago in 
1882 was 368, with an aggregate tonnage of 67,535. 
The mercantile trade of the city is of considerable 
importance, as it supplies most of the vast region 
from which produce is received. The principal indus- 
tries are hog-packing, beef-packing, brewing, and 
distilling, and the manuf. of iron and steel, wood, 
brick, leather, chemicals, boots and shoes, and cigars 
and tobacco. The number of hogs packed in 1882 was 
2,781,064 representing over 48 per cent, of all the hogs 
packed in the West. Chicago had, in 1883, 11 nat. 
banks, 12 other banks, and 27 bankers. The annual 
bank clearings for 3 consecutive years were as fol- 
lows :— 1880, $1,725,684,894; 1881, $2,249,097,4.50; 
1882, $2,366,536,855. The principal lines of railroad, 
running from Chicago are the C.&A., the P.,Ft.W. 
&C., the C.,M.&St.P., theP.,C.&St.L., the C.B.&Q., 
theLC, theM.C, the C.,R.I.&P., the L.S.«&M.S., 
the C.&G.T., the C.&E.L, the W.,St.L.&P., the B. 
&0., and the C.&N.W.— Chicago is divided into 20 
wards, and is governed by a mayor, chosen every 
two years, and a board of 40 aldermen. It has a very 
efficient police force and fire department. The sys- 
tem by which it is supplied with water has been called 
one of the wonders of the world. The water-works, 
which extend 2 m. under the lake, cost to this day 
abt. $6,000,000. In 1882, the bonded debt of Chicago 



CHI

CHI 



was $12,753,000. The valuation of real and personal 
property for the purpose of taxation was $122,373,395. 
The total city tax levied was $4,139,049. The public 
school system in Chicago (including a high and a 
normal school) is regarded as one of the most thor- 
ough in the U. States. There are also many private 
academies and several schools sustained by the Catho- 
lics. Among the highest institutions are the Univer- 
sity of Chicago, connected with the Dearborn Obser- 
vatory, the North Western University (Methodist), 
the Baptist Union Theological Seminary, Chicago 
Theological Seminary, St. Ignatius College (Catholic), 
College of Law, Chicago Musical College, 7 medical 
colleges, &c.The Chicago historical society was estab- 
lished in 1856, the Academy of Sciences in 1857, and 
the Academy of Design in 1869. Charitable, benevo- 
lent, art, &c., institutions and places of amusement, 
are too many for enumeration here. There are 8 libra- 
ries open to the public, of which the Chicago public 
library, now numbering above 60,000 volumes, is the 
largest. The total number of daily, wkly, and month- 
ly papers is abt. 80, not including mere advertising 
sheets, programmes, &c. There are abt. 240 houses of 
public worship, including the mission churches. — 
The first visitors to the site of Chicago were Joliet 
and Marquette, August, 1673. The first permanent 
settlements was made in 1804, during which year 
Fort Dearborn was built. At the close of 1830, 
Chicago contained 12 houses and 3 " country" resi- 
dences in Madison St., with a pop. of abt. 100. The 
town was organized in 1833, and incorporated as a 
city in 1837. On Oct. 8, 9, 10, 11, 1871, Chicago was 
the scene of one of the most destructive conflagrations 
of modern times. The total area burned was nearly 
3Jsq. m.; persons rendered homeless, 98,500 ; persons 
killed, abt. 200 ; loss occasioned by the fire, abt. $190,- 
000,000. In a year after the fire, a large part of the 
burnt district had been rebuilt, and at present there 
scarcely is trace of the terrible disaster save in the 
improved character of the new buildings over the 
destroyed. On July 15, 1874, still another great fire 
swept over the city, destroying 18 blocks of 60 acres 
in the heart of the city, and abt. $4,000,000 worth of 
property. Pop. in 1837, 4,170; in 1850, 29,963; in 
1860, 112,172 ; in 1870, 298,977 ; in 1880, 503,185.

Cliicag-o River, III. This small stream, which 
forms the harbor of Chicago on the S.W. border of 
Lake Michigan, is composed of two branches. The 
N. branch, which is abt. 40 m. long, rises in the N. 
part of the State, and unites with the S. abt. f m. 
from its entrance into the lake. The S. branch, which 
is abt. 6 m. long, is sufficiently deep to afford a secure 
harbor for any vessels which navigate the lake. The 
natural portage from Chicago R. to the Des Plaines, 
a branch of the Illinois, is only 6 m., and is so low 
that at high water it is often overflowed, so that boats 
can pass from one river to the other. The Illinois and 
Michigan Canal, which connects Chicago with La 
Salle, at the head of navigation on the Illinois R., 
which falls into the Mississippi, has been deepened 
by the city of Chicago, at a cost of $3,351,621 ; the 
highland 26 m. being cut down to gij ft. below the 
ordinary water level of Lake Michigan ; and this, with 
the deepening of the bed of the Chicago R. and its 
S. branch, permits the waters of the lake to flow 
through the river and branch into the canal and to 
be earned into the Illinois. This has obviated the 



offensive condition of the waters of the Chicago R., 
which were previously a great source of annoyance 
and sickness in Chicago.

Cliocta^vs, orC'HAHTAS, atribe of Indians now 
settled in the Indian Territory along the N. banks of 
the Red R., whei-e they possess abt. 10,4.50 sq. in. 
When first known to Europeans they occupied the 
district now forming the S. part of Mississippi and 
the W. part of Alabama. On the settlement of Loui- 
siana they formed an alliance with the French, and 
assisted them against the Natchez and Chickasaws ; 
but by degrees they entered into friendly relations 
with the English, and at last, in 1786, recognized the 
supremacy of the U. States by the treaty of Hope- 
well. Their emigration W. began abt. 1800, and the 
last remains of their original territory were ceded in 
1830. In their new settlements the Choctaws con- 
tinued to advance in prosperity till the outbreak of 
the civil war, which considerably diminished the 
population and ruined a large part of their property. 
They sided with the Confederates, and their territory 
was occupied by Confederate troops ; and accord- 
ingly at the close of the war they were regarded as 
having lost their rights. Part of their land they were 
forced to .surrender to the Government; their slaves 
were emancipated ; and provision was claimed for 
them in the shape of either land or money. Since 
then they have considerably recovered their position. 
They now number abt. 16,000, have 50,000 acres under 
cultivation, and possess private prop, to the value 
of upward of §4,700,000. They are governed by a 
chief and a nat. council of 40 members, accoi'ding to 
a written constitution, which dates in the main from 
1838; and they possess a regular judicial system 
and employ trial by jury. Missions are maintained 
amongst them by the American Board of Commis- 
sioners, the Presbyterians, the Methodists and the 
Baptists. The Choctaw language has been reduced 
to writing, and brought to some degree of literary 
precision by the efforts of the missionaries, who have 
produced in the language the Bible, school-books 
and hymnals. A newspaper is published wkly in 
Choctaw and English at New Boggy : and a grammar 
was composed by the late Rev. C. Byington (Phila- 
delphia, 1870).

Cincinnati, O., the chief city of the State, 
cap. of Hamilton co., and in size the 8th city in the 
U. States, is situated on the N. bank of the Ohio 
R., 250 m. direct, or by the river 466 m. S.W. Pitts- 
burg, Pa., 290 m. direct, or 500 m. by river N.E. 
Cairo, 111., and 861 m. by rail S.W. New York. The 
city is chiefly built upon two terraces or plateaus, 
the first 60 and the second 112 ft. above the river. 
Beyond these rises an amphitheatre of hills from 400 
to 450 ft. high, from which may be obtained a mag- 
nificent view of the valley of the Ohio and the sur- 
rounding country. On the opposite bank of the 
river, are the cities of Covington and Newport, which 
communicate with Cincinnati by two bridges and 
several steam ferries. The wire suspension bridge, 
which is 1057 ft. long between the towers (or, includ- 
ing the approaches, '2,2.52 ft.), with a height of 100 ft. 
above low water, was completed in 1867 at a cost of 
nearly $2,000,000. Further up the river is a wrought 
iron railroad bridge built upon piers. Cincinnati covers 
an area of 24 sq. m., extending along the river abt. 10 
m. with an average width of 3 m. "rhe most impor- 
tant part of the city, however, is comprised within a 
distance of 2i m. along the river. The streets are laid 
out with great regularity, crossing each other at 
right angles, are broad and well paved, and for the 
most part beautifully shaded. The business portion 
of the city is compactly built, a fine drab freestone 
being the material chiefly used. The outer highland 
belt of the city is beautified by costly residences 
which stand in the midst of extensive and neatly 
adorned grounds. Here the favorite building material 
is blue limestone. The names of the suburbs on the 
hilltops are Clifton, Avondale, Mt. Auburn, Price's 
Hill, and Walnut Hills. The city is also noted for the 
beauty of its surrounding scenery. Cincinnati is well

CIR 



supplied with public parks, the largest of which, 
Eden, is situated on a hill in the E. part of the city, 
and is beautifully laid out and adorned. Burned 
Wood, on a hill N. of the city, contains 170 acres, 
nearly all forest. One of the most attractive objects 
in the city is the Tyler Davidson bronze fountain 
which was presented to the city by Mr. H. Probasco 
in 1871, and cost nearly $200,000. The design em- 
braces 15 bronze figures, all cast at Munich, the chief 
one representing a female with outstretched arms, 
from whose fingers the water falls in fine spray. This 
is the surmounting figure, and reaches a height of 45 
ft. above the ground. Among the most notable build- 
ings is that of the U. States Government, built of 
sawed freestone in the Roman Corinthian style; it is 
three stories high, with a length of 150 ft. and a 
width of 80 ft. The county court-house, in the same 
style of architecture, is 175 ft. square and three stories 
high. The biick buildings for the city offices are 205 
ft. long and 52 ft. wide. The Masonic Temple, built 
in the Byzantine style, 195 ft. long and 100 ft. wide, 
is four stories high, and has two towers 140 ft., and a 
spire 180 ft. high. The most imposing church edifices 
are St. Peter's Roman Catholic Cathedral, built in 
pure Grecian style, 200 by 80 ft., with a stone spire 
rising to a height of 224 ft.; St. Paul's Church 
(Methodist), with a spire 200 ft. high ; and the First 
Presbyterian Church, with an immense tower sur- 
mounted by a spire 270 ft. high. — Cincinnati is one of 
the most important commercial and manufacturing 
centres of the West. The 6 railroads entering the 
city are used by 12 companies, and besides these 2 
lines terminate at Covington. Abt. 300 passenger and 
freight trains arrive and leave daily on these roads. 
The position of the city on the OhioR. gives it water 
communication with the extensive river system of 
the Mississippi valley ; while it is connected with 
Lake Erie by the Miami Canal. The number of steam- 
ers running between Cincinnati and other ports in 
1881 was 206 ; the number of arrivals of steamers 
during 1881 was 2,638 ; of departures, 2,633. About 
three-fourths of the commerce of the cit}' is by rail- 
road and canal, and the remainder by river transpor- 
tation. The extent of the entire commerce is indica- 
ted by the value of imports, which for the year 1881 
amounted to $274,641,218 and the exports to $271,- 
973,776. Boat building was formerly a prominent in- 
dustry, but it has recently declined. In 1881, 16 ves- 
sels of 1,969 tons in aggregate were built. Formerly 
Cincinnati was the chief centre in the U. States for 
the slaughtering of swine and the packing of pork, 
but the supremacy is now held by Chicago, Cincin 
nati taking the second rank. In 1882 there were 
slaughtered 384,878 hogs, against 522,425 in 1851. The 
production of iron in all its branches is rapidly in- 
creasing and will soon assume the leading rank in 
the industrial products of the city. The total value 
of all the manuf. of iron in 1881 was $20,.557,7S3 ; 
cash capital invested $9,988,390 ; hands employed 
11,874. The manuf. of wool and especially of furni- 
ture, is also steadily increasing. The total products 
for 1881 was valued at $17,370,682 ; hands employed, 
10,683. Cincinnati is the principal leather market in 
the West, and the second in the U. States. It ranks 
second in the manuf. of boots and shoes, and first in 
the production of harness. The value of products 
of leather and leather goods during 1881 was $13,- 
320,786 : hands employed, 7,502. There are 27 brew- 
eries, the product of which has a national reputation. 
The production of beer during 1881 was 23,132,742 
galls, valued at $5,676,173. Cincinnati spirits, in the 
form of whisky, high wines, cologne spirits, &c., are 
sold in every State. In 1881, the ]iroduct of distilled 
liquors was 11,610,110 galls, valued at $13,139,817 ; 
and of rectified liquors, 11,361,6.55 galls, valued at 
$12,838,670. In 1883 there were 12 nnt banks with an 
aggregate cap. of $7,000,000, and 11 private banks. 



There were 9 daily, 42 wkly, 4 semi-monthly, 27 
monthly, and 5 quarterly papers. — The city is divided 
into 25 wards, and is governed by a mayor elected 
for 2 years, a board of 25 aldermen and a board of 50 
councilmen. It has a very efficient paid fire depart- 
ment and police force. The city is supplied with 
water obtained by pumping from the Ohio R. by 
means of 3 immense reservoirs, 2 of which, with a 
capacity of 100,000,C00 each are in Eden Park. In 1882 
the bonded debt of Cincinnati was $24,286,217 ; the 
valuation of real property was $120,045,230, personal 
property, $41,359,163 ; amount of revenue from taxa- 
tion, $3,583,177. Cincinnati has abt. 160 churches and 
a large number and variety of well organized charita- 
ble institutions. Secret and mutual benevolent socie- 
ties are also very numerous, especially among the 
German population. The public schools are under 
the control of a superintendent and a board of 50 
elected members, and comprise 1 normal, 3 high, 6 
intermediate and 32 district schools. The Woodword 
and the Hughes high schools have long been knoAva 
for their excellence. Besides the above, there are a 
large number of Roman Catholic parochial schools. 
The university of Cincinnati is designed to afford ad- 
vanced and technical instruction free of charge. Be- 
sides the Cincinnati Wesleyan College for females 
(Methodist Episcopal), St. Xavier College (Roman 
Catholic), and Mount St. Mary's of the West, the 
city hasl law, 6 medical, and 2' theological schools, 
4 commercial colleges, a school of design, and 2 
schools of music. There are 11 public libraries in the 
city, the largest being the free public libraiy, which 
has 81,000 bound volumes and 5,500 pamphlets, and 
the young men's mercantile with nearly 40,000 vol- 
umes. The most important literary associations are 
the natural history and the historical and philo- 
sophical societies. — Cincinnati was first settled in 1788, 
and was named, it is said, in honor of the Cincinnati 
society of officers of the revolutionary war. Twelve 
years later it had 750 inhabitants. In 1814 it was in- 
corporated as a city. Abt. 1830, the Miami canal was 
built, which greatly increased the prosperity of the 
city. Pop. in 1810, 2,540 ; in 1830, 24,831 ; in 1840, 46,-

The W. branch of the Susquehanna R. bisects it, 
and near the middle of the co. receives the waters of 
Clearfield Creek. Mushannou Creek runs along the 
S. E. boundary. The soil near the large streams is 
fertile, and on the uplands are good pastures and 
some arable tracts. The E. part is much cut up by 
deep ravines, and is generally too rugged for cultiva- 
tion. Anthracite coal and iron abound. The forests 
furnish large quantities of pine, oak, poplar and 
cherry, which are conveyed down the rivers by 
means of rafts. The chief prod, in 1880 were 141,-

CLE

CLI 



a gravelly plaiu, elevated abt. 100 ft. above the lake. 
The river passes through it in a winding course, af- 
fording an excellent harbor, which has been improv- 
ed by dredging out a commodious ship-channel 
(branching from the river near its mouth), and by 
the erection of 2 piers 200 ft. apart, stretching several 
hundred feet into the lake. On each pier is a light- 
house, and another stands on the cliff above. The 
city is laid out with much taste, chietly in squares, 
the streets being remarkably wide and well paved. 
The abundance of shade-trees, chietly elms, has 
given it the title of the "Forest City." The great 
stone viaduct which spans the river valley between 
the two divisions of the city, on a level with the pla- 
teau, was completed in 1878, and is justly reckoned 
among the triumphs of American engineering. It is 
3,211 ft. long, and cost $2,200,000. The most note- 
worthy buildings are that of the U. States (contain- 
ing the post-office, the custom-house, and the federal 
courts), the city hall, the county court-house, the 
house of correction and work house,the city infirmary, 
the Cleveland medical college, Case Hall, and the 
two high-school buildings. The Union Railway 
depot, an immense structure of stone near the lake 
shore, is one of the largest of the kind in the U. 
States. The city has an extensive trade in copper and 
iron ore shipped from the Lake Superior mining 
region, and in coal, petroleum, wool, and lumber, 
received by railroad, canal, and lake transportation. 
During 1881 Cleveland received 5,121 tons of copper 
valued at $2,560,500; 1,277,994 tons of iron ore, 
valued at $11,501,946; and 39,619 tons of pig iron 
valued at $1,109,332. The total value of merchandise 
received coastwise was $61,921,552, cleared $37,023,- 
210. The foreign trade is exclusively with Canada. 
The imports for the j'car 1881 amounted to $726,738, 
the exports to $552,161. In 1882 there were registered, 
enrolled and licensed at this port 187 vessels of 81,- 
329 tons, including 112 sailing vessels of 42,841 tons, 
70 steamers of 36,622 tons, and 5 barges of 1,866 tons. 
There were built during the year 5 sailing vessels of 
1,583 tons, and 13 steamers of 11,320 tons. The 
manuf., particularly of iron and coal-oil are very im- 
portant. The Cleveland Rolling Mills is probably the 
largest connected concern in the manuf. of iron and 
steel in the U. States. Its extensive works cover 
more than 100 acres of ground, and it employs in 
average 5,000 men. There are 20 refining companies, 
which, besides manuf. illuminating oils, are engaged 
in making abt. 20 distinct products from the crude 
oil. Other important products are sulphuric acid, 
wooden ware, agricultural implements, marble and 
stone, grindstones, railroad cars, white lead, &c. 
There are 8 pork-packing concerns, employing 750 
men ; the number of hogs slaughtered and packed 
in 1881 was 124,589. Cleveland has a Board of Trade 
incorporated in 1866 ; 6 nat. and 9 other banks, 6 
daily, 37 wkly, and 12 monthly papers. — Ihe govern- 
ment of the city is vested in a mayor and a common 
council of 2 members for each of the 18 wards. The 
city has an efficient police and a paid fire department. 
It is supplied with water obtained from the lake by 
means of a tunnel IJ m. long, and forced into a 
large reservoir on high ground in the W. part of the 
city. The reformatory and charitable institutions are 
numerous and varied. The assessed value of property 
in 1881 was $79,647,156. The public schools in 1881 
comprised 1 normal, 2 high, and 42 grammar schools, 
in which were enrolled 24,836 pupils, with an average 
daily attendance of 17,016. The expenditure for the 
public schools during the year amounted to $420,219. 
Cleveland has no college or university, but there are 
several excellent seminaries, academies, and private 
schools for the advanced education of both sexes. 
The Cleveland library association has 18,000 volumes, 
the public library, supported by taxation, abt. 20,000 
and the law library abt. 2,000. The Bethel free read- 



ing-rooms are open to the public, and the western 
reserve historical society has a valuable collection of 
books. Cleveland was laid out in 1796, incorporated 
as a village in 1814, and as a city in 1836. Pop. in 1810,

Coast Rang-e, or Coast Mountains, Cal., a 
range of mts. extending nearly parallel with the 
coast of the Pacific Ocean, from Oregon to the S. 
bonndarj^ of the State. Its width is from 30 to 40 m. 
and it is divided by the bay of San Francisco. S. of 
hit. 34° 20' N. a plain from 25 to 40 m. wide lies be- 
tween the mts. and the sea, the spurs being short 
and running at right angles with the main ridge ; N. 
of that the spurs form the greater part of the coast 
line. E. of the bay is the Contra Costa ridge, which 
is crossed by the Gabilan ridge. N. of the Gabilan 
are the Sonoma and Carneros ridges, beyond which 
the spurs are so numerous and closely- connected that 
they are scarcely distinguished by name. These 
spurs are separated by fertile valleys, some of which 
are 60 m. long by 10 m. broad, watered by streams, 
and possessing a genial and agreeable climate. The 
most noted are the Los Angeles, Salinas, Santa Clara, 
Sonoma and Napa valleys. The highest peak of the 
main range is Mt. San Bernardino, 11,600 ft. high, 
lat. 33° 48.' The principal passes are S. of the outlet 
of the Sacramento basin. "The Northernmost, Liver- 
more's pass, lat. 37° 42, is 686 ft. high ; the others are 
mostly higher, the two Southernmost, San Gorgonio 
and Warner's, lat 33° 10', being respectively 2,800 and 
3,780 ft. high. Nearly all the spurs, valleys and 
streams of the range run to the west. The coast 
mountains are steep and rocky. N. of lat. 38° they 
are covered with timber and brush ; S. of that the 
ridges nearest the ocean have some timber, and those 
further inland are nearly bare.

Colora<lo, Rio Colorado, or Colorado River 
OF THE North, a large river which rises in the Rocky 
Mts. and falls into the Gulf of California. The main 
stream, known as the Green R., has its source in Fre- 
mont's Peak on the W. borders of Wyoming, so that 
the whole extent of its course must be upward of 
2,000 m. After receiving the waters of the Yampuh 



COL

COL 



and the White Rs. it flows S. for abt. 150 m. without 
any important augmentation till it meets with the 
great rival stream of the Grand R. The united 
stream continues to force its way S., till at its 
junction with the Colorado Chiquito, or Little Colo- 
rado, which takes its rise in the Sierre Madre of New 
Mexico, it turns almost due W. , and cuts right ath- 
wart the line of the mountain ranges. Its S. direction 
is resumed after the confluence of the Virgen from 
the Wahsatch Mts., and it only receives one other 
tributary of real magnitude, the River Gila, before it 
reaches the sea. The enormous canons or ravines 
through which the Colorado and several of its con- 
fluence force their way, ender this one of the most 
remarkable river systems of the world. The Grand 
Canon alone extends for a distance of abt. 200 m. W. 
from the junction of the Colorado Chiquito, and its 
walls rise almost sheer from the water's edge to a 
height of from 4,000 to as much as 7,000 ft. Further 
down is Black Canon which, with a length of 2.5 m. 
and a height of 1,000 or 1,500 ft., would be considered 
ed a magnificent phenomenon, were it not so com- 
pletelj' thrown into insignificance by its more stupen- 
dous neighbor. These very features which give the 
river its uniqueness prevent it from being of much 
use as a means of navigation ; but steamers can pro- 
ceed upward as far as Callville, abt. 612 m. from the 
mouth. The discovery of the Colorado is due to Fer- 
nando Alascon in 1540 ;but it was not till Lieutenant 
Ives's expedition in 1857 that even the lower part of 
its course was properly explored. In 1869 the whole 
course from the head-waters in Wyoming to the town 
of Callville was traversed by a party of explorers, 
commissioned by the U. States Government and com- 
manded by Professor J. W. Powell. Since that date 
the river and its basin have been the object of sys- 
tematic survey under the same auspices, and the re- 
sults of the gigantic undertaking have been published 
by Fr. Powell in his E7:ploration of the Colorado R. of 
the W. and its Tributm-ies, explored in 1869, 1870, 1871, 
and 1872 (Washington, 1875). 

— a W. State, bounded N. by Wyoming and Nebras- 
ka, E. by Nebraska and Kansas, E. by the Indian T. 
and New Mexico, and W. by Utah, it lies between 
lat. 37° and 41° N., Ion. 102° and 109° W. It is 375 m. 
long from E. to W. and 275 m. wide from N. to S.; 
area, 103,645 sq. m. The W. portion, embracing abt. 
4-7 of the area, is occupied by the principal chains of 
the Rocky Mts. and numerous subordinate ranges ; 
the eastern consists of rolling plains, gradually rising 
toward the W., where they are bounded by the foot 
hills of the Rocky Mts. in abt. 105° W. Ion. The 
Rocky Mts. inclose elevated plains or valleys of dif- 
ferent areas, which are known as the North Park, 
Middle Park, South Park and San Luis Park, 
(which see). The North Park lies between the main 
range of the Rocky Mts. and the S. part of the Medi- 
cine Bow Mts., and owing to its northern situation 
and cold climate has thus far been less explored and 
settled than the others. The Middle Park is S. of the 
North Park, from which it is separated by a trans- 
verse chain. Some of the loftiest peaks of the Rocky 
Mts. rise upon its rim. The Middle Park is drained 
by the sources of the Blue R., one of the confluents 
of the Grand R. , and its surface is covered by magnifi- 
cent forests and broad, open meadows. Directly S. of 
it lies South Park, the most picturesque of the series. 
The continental divide bounds it on the W. and sepa- 
rates it from the deep valley of the upper course of 
the Arkansas R. The San Luis Park, in the S. part of 
the State, and separated from the South Park by the 
valley of the Arkansas, is Ijy far the largest. It is 
surrounded by the San Juan Mts. and the Sierra 
Mimbres, which form a magnificent panorama of 
snowy peaks and ranges. Thirtj'-flve streams, de- 
scending from the encircling snowy crests, water the 
park. Nineteen of these streams empty into the 



beautiful San Luis Lake, while the others join the 
Rio Grande, which traverses the park from N. to S. 
There are other parks of smaller area and lying E. or 
W. of those above named. — No other State "has at 
any time advanced so rapidly as Colorado did during 
the past thirteen years. In 1870 the total pop. of the 
then territory was 39,864; in 1880 it was 194,327, and 
was not less than 230,000 in 1883. Mining was the 
foundation of Colorado's prosperity, and continues to 
be its leading industry and greatest source of wealth. 
For the production of silver alone it ranks first. For 
gold it holds the 4th rank — after California, Nevada 
and Dakota. For the year 1880, the gold yield was 
$2,750,000. The production of silver increased slowly 
from $650,000 in 1870 to $3,726,000 in 1877. Then came 
the discovery of the Leadville carbonates, and the 
" silver era" of Colorado began. The .silver product 
in 1878 was $6,000,000 ; in 1879, $12,000,000, and in 
1880, $16,500,000. Coal mining is second in impor- 
tance only to the mining of the metals, and the de- 
velopment of the coal deposits has been in keeping 
with Colorado development generally, as the follow- 
ing table, presenting the condition of affairs in 1870 
and 1880, sufficiently shows :

Throughout Colorado vast deposits of iron ore are 
found, but until 1881 these remained unproductive. 
There being no works available for the reduction of 
the ore, it rested in the earth, valueless. In 1877 a 
rolling mill was set up at Pueblo, to be removed the 
following year to its present position in Denver. In 
the census of 1880 this little mill — now owned by the 
Colorado Coal and Iron Company — with its two trains 
of rolls and its daily capacity of 40 tons, is the sole 
representative of Colorado's iron industry. Between 
the taking of the census and the publication of the 
returns the great iron works at Pueblo began opera- 
tions. The furnace, with a daily capacity of 100 tons, 
went into blast Sept.l7, 1881, and from that time on- 
ward has been producing an exceptionally fine quality 
of iron. — After mining, stock-raising was the next 
industry to attract a large amount of capital. This 
business has increased constantly since its founda- 
tion, and still relatively holds its own, as the follow- 
ing comparative table shows 

1870. 1880.

Colorado is a natural grazing region. In many re- 
spects it possesses advantages for cattle and sheep- 
raising superior to those of any other grazing region 
in the world. It affords a great abundance of rich 
grass, and the dryness of the climate is such that the 
grass cures standing, and throughout the winter is an 
excellent hay ; while the configuration of the coun- 
try — broken by many deep ravines — together with the 
jilentiful limber, affords a shelter against storms suf- 
ficient to permit the stock to winter in safety unhous- 
ed. — Agriculture, the third great industry of the 
State, has scarcely kept pace with mining and stock- 
raising ; yet a marked advance was made in the ten 
years between 1870 and 1880. Since irrigation has

come to be a well understood science, a vast amount 
of land that a few years ago was regarded as waste 
and valueless has been brought Into productiveness 
and value. Wheat is the leading crop, and its excel- 
lence — hardness and size of grain and fineness of 
quality — has made Colorado flour famous not only in 
the W. but in the E. The following table presents 
concisely the product of the State in 1870 and 1880 :

At the foundation of all of Colorado's prosperity, 
at once the cause and the effect of its rapid develop- 
ment, have been its railways. When the Kansas 
Pacific reached Denver, in 1870, nearly the whole of 
the present inhabited portion of the State was a wil- 
derness. There were a few mining camps and a few 
trading posts ; but the greater portion of the terri- 
tory was deserted of inhabitants, save hostile Indians. 
The annual increase in mileage, on all the Colorado 
roads collectively, shows how rapidly the advance 
was made :

As the general result of the industrial development 
above noted, together Avith the growth of various 
minor industries, the total assessed value is of prop- 
erty in Colorado has increased from $17,388,101 in 
1870, to $73,698,746 in 1880, and .$91,630,885 in Nov., 
1881 — a net gain in 17 mouths of nearly $18,000,000. — 
Colorado is divided into 33 counties, viz.; Arapahoe, 
Bent, Boulder, Chaffee, Clear Creek, Conejos, Cos- 
tillo. Cutter, Dolores, Douglas, Elbert, El Paso, Fre-

Coliun1>ia, or Oregon, a great river, which 
rises in Otter Lake on the W. slope of the Rocky 
Mts., in British Columbia, in lat. 50°30' N., Ion. 116° W. 
It flows N.W. to lat. 52° 10', where it receives the Ca- 
noe, which rises in abt. lat. 52° 45', then turns W. and 
S., and flows in a general S. direction to the boundary 
of the U. States, whence, entering Wash. Territory, its 
course lies through the great plain between the Cas- 
cade and Rocky Mts. to the 46th parallel. Here, turn- 
ing somewhat abruptly, it flows in a general W. direc- 
tion, forming the boundary between Wash. Terri- 
tory and Oreg., and falls into the Pacific in abt. lat. 
46°' 15' N., Ion. 124° W. There is a remarkable bend 
in lat. 47" 55' N., Ion. 118° 10' W., where the river 
turns nearly due W., and continues in that direction 
abt. 120 m. to the mouth of the Okiuakaue. It then 
flows S.W. abt. 50 m., when it turns S.E., and flows 
in that direction abt. 165 m. to the 46th parallel. 
Throughout its entire length the Columbia is very 
rapid, often passing through mountain gorges and 
broken by many cataracts. The tide sets uj) 165 m. 
to the Cascades, which are a series of rapids caused 
by the passage of the stream through the Cascade 
range. At a distance of abt. 30 m. from the ocean the 
river expands into a kind of bay from 3 to 7 m. wide, 
which forms its mouth. At low tide there is abt. 20 
ft. of water over the flats at the entrance to this bay, 
while the depth of the channel is 24 ft. Ocean steam- 
ers can ascend to Vancouver, 115 ni. above the mouth, 
and steamers of 200 or 300 tons to the Cascades, 
around which there is a railroad 6 m. long. The 
Dalles, 40 m. further, again obstruct navigation. Here 
the river bends like a horseshoe to the S. and flows 
with a rapid current through a basaltic trough with 
walls 20 ft. high and 200 yards apart. Other falls, 
with stretches of navigable water between, are Priest 
rapids, 179 m. above the Dalles; Buckland rapids, 66 
m. further; and Kettle falls, 274 m. above. The last 
is a perpendicular fall of 15 ft. At high water (from 



COL 



253 



COL 



the midde of May to the middle of July) steamers 
could probably ascend from the Dalles to Kettle falls. 
Above Kettle falls the river is again navigable abt. 
50 m. to falls just N. of the 49th parallel. Above the 
head of Upper Arrow Lake, lat. 50° 30' N., there is 
no navigable water. At Vancouver the Columbia is a 
a mile wide. Its total length is over 1,200 m. The 
rise at Vancouver during high water is 19 or 20 ft., 
and so great is the force of the current as to over- 
come the effect of the tide, and render the water 
drinkable even on the bar. The principal E. branches 
are the Kootenay (also called McGillivray or Flat 
Bow), which joins the Columbia in British Territory 
abt. 20 m. N. of the boundary; Clarke's, or Flathead 
R.; the Spokane, and Lewis fork (also called the Sap- 
tin or Snake R.), which is the great southern tribu- 
tary, and rises in the Rocky Mts. in W. Wyoming, 
abt. lat. 44° N., Ion. 110° 30' W. The tributaries from 
the west are smaller; the chief are the Nehoialpitkwu, 
Okinakane, and Yakama. Below the great bend sev- 
eral streams empty into the Columbia from the north, 
the largest of which is the Cowlitz; from the south 
It receives the Umatilla, John Day's R., the Des 
Chutes, and the Willamette. On the tth of May, 1792, 
Capt. R. Gray, in the ship Columbia, of Boston, dis- 
covered and entered the mouth of this majestic 
stream, and giving it the name of the vessel in which 
he sailed, called it the Columbia R. In 1804-5, Lewis 
and Clarke made the first exploration of the river 
•ever made by civilized men, and passed the winter of 
1805-6 at its mouth. The Missouri Fur Company, in

first ever formed on the waters .of the Columbia; and, 
in 1811, Astoria was founded, at the mouth of the 
river, by the Pacific Fur Company, under J. J. Astor,

ated on a branch of the Ohio Canal, at the intersec- 
tion of 11 lines of RRs. The leading commodity is 
coal. The geographical situation of Columbus, with 
a vast coalless district extending N. and N.W. of it 
for hundreds of miles, its accessibility to a coal-seam 
of enormous quantity and .superior quality, by way 
of the C.&H.V.RR., make it a great outlet for the 
article. The city is divided into 9 wards, and is gov- 
erned by a mayor and a common council of 17 mem- 
bers. The fire department is under the control of a 
chief engineer. The Roman Catholics have 4 parish 
schools, with an average attendance of 1,020, and 
several academies and seminaries. Other educational 
institutions are Capitol university (Lutheran), and 
Starling medical college. The State Library con- 
tains over 30,000 volumes. There are 44 churches, 3 
musical societies, 3 daily, 4 tri-wkly, 5 wkly and 4 
monthly papers. At the time Columbus was laid out 
as a town in 1812, it was an almost unbroken forest, 
with no resident within its limits ; and it had only 
5(X) inhabitants when in 1816 it became the cap. of 
the State. Its growth and wealth are largely due to 
the concentration of the State institutions and the

Coney Island, N. Y., is the popular water- 
ing place of New York city, and is unique in its ap- 
pearance, its patronage and its history. The island, 
which is in Gravesend tp.. Kings co., is the extreme 
W. end of a great outlying sand-bar, broken by inlets, 
which extend along the S. coast of Long Island for 
nearly 90 m., its different sections being known as 
Coney Island, Rockaway, Long, Jones, Oak Island, 
and Great South Beaches. Conej' Island is a part of 
the town of Gravesend, and is separated from the 
shore by Gravesend Bay on the W., Sheepshead Bay 
and Coney Island Creek on the N., runs to a point 
on the E., and has the broad Atlantic for its S. bound- 
ary. The distance from the Battery to the wharf at 
the western extremity of the island is abt. 8i m. as 
the bird flies. Prior to 1875 this fine stretch of beach 
5 m. long, with its splendid surf, and its unequaled 
location in point of accessibility from New York, 
Brooklyn and other adjacent cities, was little more 
than a barren waste of sand. On the W. end of the 
island was a small hotel, and 2 steamboats made 
daily trips to that point. At the present time, 1882, 
8 steam railways, one line of street cars, and 9 lines 
of steamboats, capable of transporting at least 150,- 
000 persons to and from the beach daily, are in oper- 
ation. The beach itself is covered with light and 
airy buildings of all sizes and for every conceivable 
purpose, and during the season the sands are black 
with people daily. Three of the hotels are among 
the finest of their kind in the world, and a number 
of others are fully equal to the best hotels at other 
watering places. Pop. 1,184.

Connecticut (kon-net'-e-kut), the largest river 
of New England, rises in the extreme N. part of 
New Hampshire, near the frontier of Canada. Its 
W. bank forms the entire boundary between N.H. 
and Vt. It flows in a general S.S.W. direction until 
it enters Franklin co., Mass. It afterward intersects 
Mass. and Conn., flowing nearly S. to Middletown, 
Conn., below which its course is S.E., and enters 
Long Island Sound at Saybrook. Length, about 450 
m. The valley of the Connecticut is celebrated for 
the beauty of its scenery, the fertility of its soil, and 
the luxuriant growth of the tobacco-plant known as 
the "Connecticut seed-leaf," which is used princi- 
pally as " wrappers " in making cigars. Vessels 
drawing 8 feet can ascend to Hartford, which is abt. 
50 m. from its mouth. Its principal affluents are the 
Deerfield, Farmington and Chicopee Rs. 
— one of the States of New England, the smallest in 
the Union after Rhode Island and Delaware, is 
bounded N. by Mass., abt. 88 m.; E. by Rhode Island 
45 ra., S. by Long Island Sound, 100 m., and W. by 
New York, abt. 68 m. (direct). The S.W. corner 
projects along the Sound under New York for abt.

13 ra.; area, 4,845 sq. m. The State lies on the S. 
slope of the hilly regions of New England, with a 
general surface much diversified ; there is however 
no land above 1,000 ft. in elevation. The western 
plateau, with its numerous ranges and ridges, is the 
culminating ground, and is on the whole better 
adapted to grazing and dairying than to the growth 
of cereals. It is intersected by the valleys of the 
Housatonic R. and its tributaries, and gradually 
descends in a S. direction until it terminates with 
low hills near the shores of the sound. The central 
or Connecticut River Valle)- is the best farming 
region of the State, and has an average width of over 
20m. Central Valley belongs to the red sandstone 
formation. The E. portion of the State consists of 
numerous ranges of hills with gentle declivities, 
and contains in the valleys which intersect it much 
excellent farm land. Most of the State is drained by 
3 principal rivers with their branches : the Connecti- 
cut in the central, the Housatonic in the western, 
and the Thames in the eastern part. — The rocks are 
granite, traps, sandstone, limestone, &c. From the 
quarries at Portland are obtained vast quantities of 
the red sandstone, of which the brown.stone fronts of 
city houses are made. Granite of the finest quality 
is found in great variety and is extensively used for 
building purposes. In the vicinity of Milford is 
found in small quantities a beautiful marble re- 
sembling verd antique. In Litchfield co., are exten- 
sive quarries of pure white marble, in great demand 
for building purposes. The State capitol at Hartford 
is built of marble from Canaan. Feldspar quarries 
in Glastonbury and Middletown supply material for 
porcelain and crockery. In Lyme is found a choice 
variety of porphyry. In Bolton are quarries of mi- 
caceous slate, furnishing the cities of the neighbor- 
hood with fine paving stones. Copper is found in 
Granby, Bristol and other sections of the State, but 
the mines are not at present worked. Lead and silver 
are also found, but not to any profitable extent. 
Hydraulic lime, from the borders of Southington and 
Berlin is used extensively for the manuf. of water 
cement. In Chatham is a cobalt mine. Extensive 
beds of hematite iron ore are found, especially in 
Salisbury and Kent ; and the iron works at the former 
place have long been celebrated. For the year 1880 
the production of iron ore in Connecticut amounted 
to 35,018 tons. — The climate of the sea-coast and the 
Connecticut Valley is mild and salubrious. In the 
hill-country of the N.W. the winters are much more 
severe and the quantity of snow greater. The mean 
temperature at New London 47.07°; at Litchfield, 44.- 
68°. at New Haven, 50.82°; for the whole State, 49.62°. 
The higher portions of Conn, are well adapted to 
stock raising, and cattle, butter and cheese form im- 
portant articles of export. The rich valleys produce 
the cereals, fruit and vegetables of the temperate 
zone in great abundance. The cultivation of tobacco 
has greatly increased of late, particularly in the val- 
ley of the Connecticut R.

In 1881 the live stock in farms included 54.000 



horses valued at $3,081,780 ; 118,800 milch cows val- 
ued at $3,370,356; 125,600 oxen and other cattle, 
valued at §3,815.728 ; 98,071 sheep valued at $.348,162; 
and 60,600 hogs valued at $833,2.50. There were in 
1880 30,598 farms in the State, mostly small and val- 
ued in gross at some $130,000,000. The forest woods 
are oak, pine, chestnut, walnut, buttei-nut, birch, 
beach, ash, elm, maple, poplar, basswood.whitewood, 
hemlock and cedar. The principal fruit trees are the 
apple, pear, quince, cherry and plum. Peaches, after 
disappearing for many years, have again begun to 
thrive. Raspberries are cultivated to a considerable 
extent. Grape vineyards are increasing in number 
and excellence yearly, the annual wine products 
being abt. 30,000 galls. — The chief material glory of 
the State is in the extent and variet}' of its manufac- 
tures, exceeding by far those of any other State in 
the Union or of any people in the world in propor- 
tion to the population. There is not a water power 
in the State (and it has many), but turns the wheels 
of some productive industry, and a very large part 
of the inhabitants are, directly or indirectl}', interest- 
ed in some kind of manufactures. All the large 
towns and villages owe their growth to their factories, 
and every year increases their number. Nowhere in 
the world has there been such a development of 
mechanical ingenuity in the way of labor-saving 
appliances and new inventions. The State stands 
first in the matter of patents. Many of the machines 
used in metal working are marvels of skill, especially 
those for the manufacture of pins, needles, hooks 
and eyes, tubes, screws, fish-hooks and fire-arms. In 
the manuf. of clocks, India rubber goods and hard- 
ware, Connecticut leads the world. The city of 
Waterbury, hundreds of miles away from the great 
copper producing regions, has become the centre 
of brass manufacturing for the whole U. States; 
New Haven for its large manufactories of improved 
fire-arms and cartridges. At Hartford are the exten- 
sive works of the Colt fire-arms company. Meriden 
is noted for its britannia ware, bronze and glass 
works, etc. Norwich is largely interested in woolen 
manufactories. Willimantic has the largest mill for 
the manuf. of cotton thread in the world. Thompson- 
ville is famous for its carpets. Manchester has the 
extensive Cheney silk works and a large gingham 
factory. Through the E. part of the State are large 
cotton mills, and the State stands fifth in 1880 on 
the list in manuf. of cotton goods, having 82 estab- 
lishments with an aggregate capital of §20,310,500; 
spindles 936,376 ; looms 18,261. The axes and agri- 
cultural tools made by the Collins company of Collins- 
ville are known throughout the world. Danbury is 
one of the most extensive hat manuf. towns in the 
country. Middletown does a large business in pumps 
and plated goods. Bridgeport is the headquarters for 
sewing machines, having the great factories of the 
Wheeler & Wilson and the Howe machines. New 
Britain is famous for its house furnishing goods, 
table cutlery, rules and levels, etc.; and these are 
only a portion of the towns which might be men- 
tioned which are known throughout the country for 
their manufactures. In 1880 there were in the State 
4,488 manufacturing establishments;capital $120,480,- 
275; hands einplo3-ed, 112,915; wages paid during the 
year,$45,501,518 ; value of materials. $102,185,341 ; val- 
ue of products, $185,797,211. The principal manuf. 
are agricultural implements, boots and shoes, brass 
and iron goods, carpets, carriasres, clocks, clothing, 
cotton goods, dye-stulfs, fire-arms, hardware, hats, 
hooks and eyes, hosiery, professional and scientific 
instruments, India rubber goods, jewelry, leather, 
etc. — Connecticut has 5 custom districts, to which 
866 vessels of 96,410 tons belonged in 1880. The di- 
rect commerce with foreign countries was formerly 
far more important than it is at present, and is being 
absorbed more and more by New York. — The State

is intersected in all directions by 23 railroads which, 
in 1882 operated 959 m. within the State limits. The 
State is thoroughly interlaced with telegraph wires 
reaching nearly every city, town and hamlet within 
her borders. — The State is the home of a number of 
the largest and safest insurance companies in the 
country,both fire and life. For most of these the head- 
quarters is at Hartford. The assets of the fire com- 
panies are over $19,000,000; and those of the life com- 
panies over $102,000,000 ; there are 12 of the former 
and 8 of the latter.— The educational facilities of the 
State are of the first order. The school fund amounts 
to over $2,000,000, the income of which is devoted to 
the support and encouragement of the common 
schools. The schools are free, being maintained by 
local taxation, and the assistance received from the 
fund. There are over 1,600 public schools, with some 
2,600 teachers, and with over 139,000 pupils. In addi- 
tion, there are a number of schools supported by in- 
dividual liberality. Several of th.. best prepartory 
schools of the country are in the State, such as Hop- 
kins', grammar school, of New Haven, the Hartford 
high school and the Norwich free academy. For the 
higher education the State has Yale College at New 
Haven, Wesleyan University (Methodist), at Middle- 
town, and Trinity College (Episcopalian) at Hart- 
ford. Connected with Yale College is the Sheifleld 
Scientific School, and schools of law, medicine, 
theology and fine arts, with a post-graduate course, 
which "justly entitles the college to be called a univer- 
sity. Two-thirds of the students are from other States. 
At New Britain is an excellent normal school for the 
education of teachers. — The State is divided into 8 
counties, viz.: Fairfield, Hartford, Litchfield, Middle- 
sex, New Haven, New London, Tolland, and 
Windham. The cities are Bridgeport, Hartford (the 
cap.), Middletown, New Haven, New Loudon, Nor- 
wich, and Waterbury. — The constitution of Connec- 
ticut was adopted in 1818, but has since been amend- 
ed. The legislature consists of a Senate of 21 mem- 
bers and a house of representatives of 247 members. 
The governor (salary $2,000) and other executive of- 
ficers are chosen annually. The supreme court of er- 
rors consists of 5 judges. The Superior court con- 
sists of the 5 supreme judges and 6 other judges. Each 
has $3,500 salary. There are courts of common pleas 
in the four most populous counties. Justices of the 
peace are elected in every town. For the year 1880 
the State receipts amounted to $2,506,971 and the 
expendtures to $1,600,-383. The State debt was .$4,966,- 
600. Ihe val. of taxable prop, was $327,182,435. 
— The Dutch of the New Netherlands first explored 
the Connecticut R. They erected a fort in 16.33. In 
1636 colonists from Massachusetts settled along the 
river. New Haven was settled in 1638. A constitu- 
tion for the goverment of the colony of Connecti- 
cut was perfected and approved by a general vote 
of the people, Jan. 14, 1639. It formed the basis 
of the charter obtained for Charles II. in 1662, 
and its leading features have been copied into the 
constitution of the several States and of the U. States. 
According to current history, the royal charter 
was saved by being hid in the " charter oak " when 
Sir Edmond Andros tried to get possession of it in 
1687. This constitution was of so general a charac- 
ter, that no change was necessary when Connecti- 
cut took her stand as one of the independent States 
of the Union, on the declaration of independence 
in 1786, and continued in force till 1818, when the 
present constitution was formed. Pop. in 1679, 12,535 ;

places is only wide enough for a road. If well pro- 
visioned, it could be held by a small force against 
any opposing army.

Cumberland jVIountain<«, that portion 
of the Appalachian group which ranges along the S. 
W. borderof Virginia and the S.E. of Kentucky, and 
thence passes across the State of Tennessee into the 
N.E. part of Alabama. It .spreads over a width of abt. 
50 m., parallel ridges alternating with longitudinal 
valleys. The ridges rarely exceed 2,000 ft. in height. 
They are rocky and little cultivated, but the valleys 
are fertile. These mountains lie west of the range of 
granite and metamorphic rocks which compose the 
mountains on the W^. borders of North Carolina and 
the N. part of Georgia. They are upon the range 
of the great coal formation of the Middle States, and 
essentially composed of the same groups of stratified 
rocks as those of the Alleghany mountains. Chestnut 
ridge and Laurel hill in Pennsylvania. The Teimes- 
see- R. and its branches drain the E. slopes until it 
crosses the range, flowing toward the Ohio, like the 
Cumberland. 

Cumberland River, Ky. and Tenn., a large 
river, rises in Ky., on the W. slope of the Cumberland 
Mts., near the boundary of Va., and pursues a very 
circuitous course to the Ohio, which it enters abt. IS' 
m. above the entrance of the Tennessee. The eleva- 
tion of its sources above its mouth is sujiposed to ex- 
ceed 1,000 ft. Its course is first W.and S.W. until it 
enters Tenn., and bearing still S., passes round with 
an extensive sweep to Nashville. Its course is thenN. 
W. until it re-enters Ky.. and flows in this direction 
abt. 50 m. across the State to its junction with the 
Ohio. Not far from Williamsburg, Ky., it has a 
remarkable vertical fall of 60 ft. Its comparative 
length is abt. 450 m.; although from the great tortu- 
ousness of its channel, its entire length, following the 
course of the stream, cannot be less than 600 m. 
Without reference to the inflections of the river, itself, 
the valley which it drains is 350 m. long, with an aver- 
age breadth of 50 m., comprehending an area of 17,- 
500 sq. m., which, in superficies, is the third in rank 
of those of the tributaries of the Ohio. The greatest 
part of this valley lies between lat. 36" and 37°, and 
Ion. 6° and 12° VV. from Washington. In an ordinary 
stage of water, the river is navigable for vessels and 
large steamboats to Nashville, '.&) m., and for boats 
of 15 tons 300 m. farther. For half its length it is 
navigable for small craft at all seasons. It is the 
second river in size that enters the Ohio, being in- 
ferior only to the Tennessee.

DAK 



is situated between lat. 42" 30' aud 49° N., Ion. 96° 
20' and 104° W.; length, from N. to S., 450 m., 
breadth, from E. to W., 350 m.; area, 147,700 sq. m. 
The jreneral surface of the country in the E. part is 
an undulating prairie, free from marsh and swamp, 
but traversed by many streams and dotted with a 
great number of lakes. A plateau of an average ele- 
vation of 1,450 ft. above the sea, and 15 or 20 m. in 
breadth, extends 200 m. from the S. along the E. 
border ; a similar table land, of less elevation, occu- 
pies the middle and N. portion. In the S.W. part of 
the territory are the Black Hills and the " mauvuisex 
terres'" or "badlands." The general topographical 
character of this section of the country is mountain- 
ous, though the hills do not rise to a great height 
above the creek or gulch levels, but in all cases rise 
very abruptly. The Missouri R., which is navigable 
throughout its entire course in Dakota, traverses 
the territory from the N.W. to the S.E. corner. Its 
largest tributary is the Yellowstone which, flowing 
through Montana, joins the Missouri on the border 
of the territory in lat. 48°. The Big Cheyenne flow.s 
E. to the Missouri in 8. Dakota. In the E. portion of 
the Territory the most important tributaries are the 
Dakota or James R., which, after flowing nearly 400 
m. S., unites with the Missouri a few miles below 
Yankton ; the Vermilion and Big Sioux, which are 
each more than 150 m. long. The Red River of the 
• North flows N. into British America, and forms the 
E. boundary of Dakota for nearly 250 m. It is navi- 
gated by the Hudson Bay Company's steamers nearly 
200 m. S. in Dakota. Flowing into the Red R. are 8 
rivers from the W., varying in length from 40 to 100 
m. "The territory has a great number of lakes and 
ponds, which afford a constant supply of good wa- 
ter. In the N. portion is a large body of salt water, 
40 m. long and 12 m. in maximum breadth, called 
Minniwaken or Devil's lake. Here also are rich de- 
posits of salt. — Good building stone is found in 
many localities. On the extreme W. boundary of 
the territory, divided by the line between Dakota 
and Wyoming, lie the coal fields. Little has as yet 
been done for their development, and not much can 
be said of them or their extent. Large quantities of 
the coal have been tested in the furnaces of the 
mills in the mining regions, and with proper means 
of transportation it would make by far the most 
economical fuel that can be used. The development of 
the mineral and agricultural resources of the Black 
Hills has proceeded with great rapidity. The char- 
acter of the gold-bearing quartz is such that the ex- 
pense of working it is light, and can be done with 
profit where the value of the ore is only $12 per ton, 
though it is found continually worth from $100 to 
$200 per ton. Silver is found in abundance not far from 
Deadwood and other localities among the hills, and 
silver mining will doubtless be an industry equal to 
the gold-mining interest. For the year 1882 the yield 
of gold amounted to $4,000,000 ; of silver, $70,000. 
In tne purity and abundance of the supply of water 
the Black Hills are unequaled by any region in the 
great West. — The climate is highly favorable to 
health, the atmosphere is dry and pure, and there 
is comparatively little rain. While the winters in the 
North are severe, the climate of the South is mild, 
and observations made at Fort Clark, lat. 47°, show 
the mean temperature for^ the 6 months, beginning 
with Dec, to liave been but 1° lower than at New 
York. The soil of Dakota is a rich black loam, ad- 
mirably adapted to agricultural purposes. This is 
true of almost every poi-tion of valley or hill or 
mountain on which there is any soil whatever. A 
luxuriant growth of grass spreads over the glades in 
the forest, the park openings, the creek bottoms 
and hill sides, such as only grown on the richest 
soil. Splendid grass, pure water, excellent shelter 
from storms render some portions thoroughly fitted 



for first-class stock farms, which before many years 
will furnish beef, mutton, butter, cheese and "wool 
for a nation. The outlying plains country offers im- 
mense advantages to the large stock owner. — 
The state of agriculture in some of the cos. shows a 
very rapid improvement. In the country around Bis- 
marck, for instance, 25 bush, of wheat per acre were 
raised in 1880; oats, 50 bush, per acre ; corn, 105 
bush. On some land 150 to 300 bush, of potatoes 
grew, and all the vegetables are abundant and of re- 
markable fine flavor. The wheat is of superior qual- 
ity and makes good flour. The chief agricultural 
l)rod. of Dakota for the year 1880 were 16,1.50 bush, 
of barley, 90,852 of corn, 2,217,132 of oats, 24,359 of 
rye, and 2,830,280 of wheat. — "The manufacturing in- 
dustry is yet undeveloped. There is, however, abun- 
dant water-power, which i nvites and will facilitate 
the establishment of manufacturers. In 1882, 7 lines 
of railroads had 1,638 m. in operation; other lines 
were in process of construction, and still others pro- 
jected. — The settlements in the territory are con- 
fined to three distinct localities. The settlements in 
S.E. Dakota, in which is the present capital, extend 
from Nebraska, mainly in a N. direction, up the Big 
Sioux, the Vermilion and the James Rs. They are 
spreading along the border of N.W. Iowa and S.W. 
Minnesota, as far N. as Kampeska lake and as far 
W. as the James R. The settlements in the N. 
part of the Territory are along the W. bank of the 
Red River of the North, from Richland co. oj^posite 
Breckenridge to Pembina, on the line of the British 
possessions, crossing the Northern Pacific railroad 
at Fargo, and extending W. along the line of that 
road to Bismarck. The other settlement is in the 
Black Hills, which now has a pop. estimated at 25,- 
000. These three sections of Dakota are not oTily re- 
mote from each other, but their interests are not 
identical. A bill was introduced into Congress in 
1881 providing for the divi.?ion of the territory by a 
line through its centre E. and W., the S. porticm to 
be admitted as a State into the Union, the N. part to 
be a Territory under the name of Pembina. No con- 
clusive action was taken upon the measure. — Da- 
kota has the usual territory government — a gov- 
ernor and executive officers, and a legislature of 13 
councilmen and 26 representatives. Abundant provi- 
sion has been made for all interests of education. 
The Indian reservation in Dakota, W. of the Mis- 
souri R., contains 56,000 sq. m., and is chiefly 
inhabited by the Sioux. The territory is divided 
into 95 COS., of which only a part are organ- 
ized. The principal towns are Bismarck, Central 
City, Deadwood, Fargo, Lead City, and Yankton 
(the cap.). — Dakota, which formed a part of the 
Louisiana purchase of 1803, Avas organized as a Ter- 
ritory March 2, 1861. The first permanent settle- 
ments were made in 1859. In the summer of 1863 
the settlers suffered greatly from hostile bands of 
Sioux. Gen. Sully, with 2,000 troops, routed the 
savages at Whitestone in June, and since then they 
have been held in check. The first legislature met 
on the 17th of March, 1862. Large discoveries of 
gold in the Black Hills were reported during 1874-5. 
Negotiations carried on with the chiefs who visited 
Washington in the summer of 1875 were unsuccess- 
ful ; but past experience teaches that the extin- 
guishment of the Indian title to the lands is only a 
question of a little time. — Pop. in 1860, 4,837 ; in 
1870, 14,181; in 1880, 135,177 (of whom 82,296 males, 
and 52,882 females ; 83,382 natives, and 51,795 of 
foreign birth ; 133,147 whites, 401 colored, 238 Chi- 
nese, and 1,391 Indians). Emigration has been of 
late and continues to be so large, that the pop. 
in 1883 can be safely estimated at 250,000.

joined by the Mad, 46 m. N. of Cincinnati, and 135 in. 
S. of Toledo. The Miami Canal, which connects the 
Ohio R. with Lake Erie, passes by the town ; and 
this means of communication, along with that of the 
8 RRs. of which it is the terminus, has contributed 
greatly to the prosperity of the place. The city is 
very regularly laid out, and the houses and public 
edifices are better than in many other W. cities, part- 
ly owing to the comparatively moderate ijriee of the 
"white limestone, or marble, which abounds in its 
neighborhood. The princip.al public buildings are 
the county court-house — designed after the Parthe- 
non at Athens, and erected at a cost of about $150,-

walls a city hall and the council chamber. There are.

elevation of 1,886 ft. above tide water, and flows S.W. 
across Delaware co., nearly 50 m. to the E. line of 
Broome co., within 10 m. Susquehanna R. , and turning 
suddenly it pursues a S.E. course of 5 m. to the Pa. 
line, in 42° N. lat., 8 m. below which it receives the 
Popachton branch from the S.E. The river then pro- 
ceeds in a winding course S.E. for 60m., to the N.W.

corner of N.J. in 41° 34' N. lat., at Carpenter's point, 
at the mouth of Neversink R. It then turns to the S. 
W.. along the base of the Kittaning cliain of moun- 
tains 35 m., when it passes this mountain by what is 
called the " water gap," which is consideied a great 
curiosity. The distance through the inuuutains is 
about 2 m. , and the banks rise in a rugged aud lofty 
wall, 1,600 ft. high, precipitously from the water's 
edge, leaving at the S.E. entrance, scarcely room for 
a road, overhung with immense masses of rock. The 
passage, however, widens toward theN.W.,andthe 
river contains some beautiful and fertile islands. The 
view of the " gap " is highly picturesque, and the 
river here has a great depth. From this it pursues a 
S.E. and then a S.W. course to Easton, where it re- 
ceives the Lehigh, a large branch from the W. A lit- 
tle below Easton the river passes through S. Mt. and 
pursues a S.E. course to Trenton, 60 m. below Easton, 
having in that distance 25 i-apids, with a total fall of 
165 ft. These rapids are navigable at high water. At 
Trenton is a fall which obstructs navigation, and 
below which it enters tide water. The river below 
Trenton turns to the S.W., until nearthe bay, which 
enters the ocean in a S.E. direction. Five miles below 
Philadelqhia it receives Schuylkill R., a large branch 
from the N.W. The whole course of the river from 
its source to its entrance into the bay is about 300 m., 
and to its entrance into the ocean, 375 m. It is navi- 
gable for ships of the line to Philadelphia, by the 
course of the river and baj', 120 m. from the ocean, 
and 45 m. from its entrance into the bay ; aud for 
sloops 35 m. farther, or 1.55 from the ocean, to Trenton. 
Above the falls at Trenton it is navigable for boats of 
8 or 9 tons, 100 m. The Delaware is connected with 
Hudson R.by the Delaware and Hudson Canal, which 
commences at a dam in the Delaware, near the mouth 
of the Lackawaxen Creek, and extends toEddyville 
on Roundout kill, a few miles from its entrance into 
Hudson R., and by the Morris Canal, which leaves the 
Delaware opposite to Easton, Pa., and terminates at 
Jersey City, opposite to N. York city. A vast amount 
of coal is transported on these canals. There is also a 
canal from Delaware city, 42 m. below Philadelphia, 
to Back Creek, a tributary of Elk Creek, which falls 
into Chesapeake Bay. This canal is 14 m. long, and 
admits of the passage of considerable vessels. Dela- 
ware Bay, at the mouth of Delaware R., is a large arm 
of the sea, 75 m. long and 20 m. across its mouth, be- 
tween Cape May on the N., and Cape Henlopen on the 
S. In the middle it is 30 m. wide. The navigation is 
diflScult and dangerous, having many shoals. Below 
Port Penn, 70 m. from the ocean, the bay has no safe 
natural harbor ; nor is there one for several hundred 
miles S. of New York. To remedy this inconvenience, 
the federal government has erected a magnilicent 
Breakwater, within Cape Henlopen. The anchorage 
ground or roadstead is in a cove, directly W. of the 
cape. The E. or seaward end of the Breakwater, rests 
on the S.end of an extensive shoal called the "shears," 
abt. 2 m. N. of the shore at the cape. The Breakwater 
consists of a stone dyke or pier, 3,600 ft. long, lying 
E. S. E. and W. N. W. At the distance of 1,050 ft. 
from the W. end is anotherdyke, 1,500 ft. long, form- 
ing with it an angle of 146° 15', which is designed 
especially as an ice-breaker. The whole length of the 
two dykes is 5,100 ft. , and 900,000 cubic yards of 
basalt or granite rocks, weighing from a ton to up- 
ward of three tons each, were consumed in its con- 
struction. The depth of water is from 4 to 6 fathoms, 
in a surface of over half a sq. m. The estimated cost 
of this great work was .$2,216,950. 
—an E.State,bounded N.by Pa., on the N.E. and E. by 
Delaware R. and Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, on the 
S. and W. by Md. It is situated between lat. 38° 28 
and 39° 50' N. and Ion. 75° 5' and 75° 50' W. It is 93 
m. long from N. to S. and varies in width from 12 to 
38 m. ; area, .1,960 sq. m. The boundary line between 



Pa. and Del., is the segment of a circle, with a radius 
of 12m. the centre of which is at New Castle. — The N. 
section is of a primary rocky formation. Hills of a 
beautifully rounded outline rise to a height of several 
hundred feet above tide water. The creeks run through 
deeply cleft valleys with rounded or abrupt rocky 
sides. Below this primary region is a comparatively 
level country. A table-land not more than 75 feet high 
extends through the peninsula and slopes gently to- 
ward the E. and W. In the swamps and morasses 
several small streams have their rise, which empty 
into the Delaware and the Chesapeake. Along the 
Md. line is a cypress swamp containing 50,000 acres 
and furnishing valuable timber ; it is infested with 
poisonous reptiles. — The Delaware R., navigable for 
the largest vessels, washes the E. shore. Brandywine 
Creek rises in Chester co.. Pa., and unites with 
Christiana Creek near Wilmington. It is 40 m. long 
and navigable 13 m. for vessels drawing six feet of 
water. Duck Creek forms the boundary betwee Kent 
and New Castle cos., and the Mispilion R., the 
boundary between Kent and Sussex. The Murderkill, 
Indian and Broadkill Rs., flow into Delaware- Bay ; 
the Rocomoke,Nauticoke and Choptank Rs., flow in- 
to Chesapeake. — Along the Delaware Rs.,are rich clay 
lands. Newcastle co. contains almost every variety 
of soil to be found E. of the Alleghany Mts. — jagged 
hills, broad plains, extensive meadows, swamps and 
marshes. A green sand stratum, averaging 21 feet in 
thickness, furnishes an abundance of marl for fer- 
tilization. In the N. part is a clayey soil, and a veg- 
etable mould in the marsh-lands. Sandy soils prevail 
extensively in Kent and Sussex. Hundreds of acres 
of the swamp and submerged lands along the Del- 
aware R., have been reclaimed by drainage. The 
climate is mild, being tempered by the sea breezes 
which sweep across the whole peninsula. Observations 
at Newark show a mean annual temperature of 53°. 
Delaware scenery is lovely and varied. The banks of 
the Brandywine near Wilmington are romantic and 
wild. The chalybeate springs are much visited by 
northern invalids. Lewes is a celebrated bathing re- 
sort. Of public improvements the great breakwater 
built by the U. States at a cost of $2,000,000 and the 
Delaware and Chesapeake Canal are the most notable, 
the cutting for the canal, 90 feet perpendicular in 
some places, being the deepest in the world for such 
a purpose. — The principal agricultural products for 
the year 1880 were 3,894,264 lbs. of corn, 378,508 of 
oats, and 1,175,272 of wheat. Delaware produces be- 
sides hay, sorghum molasses and honey, and large 
quantities of fine fruit and vegetables. A large in- 
come is derived from the wonderful peach orchards, 
growers being specially favored by soil, climate and 
railroad facilities, which are constantly being ex- 
tended. The peach crop in 1880 amounted to 4,109,- 
000 baskets. Canning and drying fruits exceed all 
other industries. The entire fruit district in 1880 was 
29,500 acres. In that year the live stock on farms 
comprised 21,933 horses ; 3,931 mules; 5,818 working 
oxen ; 27,284 milch cows ; 20,450 other cattle ; 21,967 
sheep ; and 48,186 swine. The manufacturing industry 
of Delaware is of great importance and mostly car- 
ried on in the northern part of the State and^he city 
of Wilmington. According to the census of 1880 there 
were in the State 746 manuf. establishments ; capital 
invested $15,655,822, hands employed, 12.638, wages 
paid during the year $4,267,349, value,of materials $12,- 
828,461, value of products $20,514,438. The State had 8 
cotton factories with 46,188 spindles and 822 looms, em- 
ploying 695 hands,and using 7,512 bales of cotton. Wil- 
mington is largely interested in making steam engines, 
railroad cars, machinery and gunpowder, and enjoys 
peculiaradvantages for buildingiron ships. The foreign 
commerce at Delaware is important. In 1882 the State 
had 165 vessels of 16,668 tons in aggi'egate ; 29 vessels 
of 10,558 tons were built ; and there were 278 m. of

railroad in operation. — The State is iliviiled into 
school districts, and the voters of each district decide 
all questions relating to the schools. In 1880 the num- 
ber of schools was 393 ; pupils, 26,672 ; school pop- 
ulation, 35,649. Delaware college, at Newark, has 
classical, scientific and agricultural departments. 
The Weslej'au female college, at Wilmington, is a 
flourishing institution. — The State is divided into 3 
COS., viz. : New Castle in the N., Kent in the middle 
and Sussex in the 8.; and these are subdivided into 
hundreds. Wilmington is (he principal city, and 
Dover is the cap. — The legislative authority is vested 
in a general asseml)ly, which consists of a senate, 
having 9 members and a house of representatives, 
having 21 members. The legislature holds biennial 
sessions. Thegovernor serve3for4years. The judicial 
power is vested in a court of errors and appeals, 
superior court, court of chancery, orphans' court, 
court of ojer and terminer, court -of general sessions 
of the peace and jail delivery, register's court, and 
justice of the peace. The State sends 1 representative 
to the Federal Congress and has 3 electoral votes. 
There is no State prison; criminals are conlincd in 
the countv jails. The whipping-post and the pillory 
are still in vogue. The State debt in 1880 was $869,- 
000 ; the val. of taxable prop, was $62,419,119.— Del- 
aware was one of the original 13 States, and the first 
to ratify the Federal Constitution, which it did by a 
unanimous vote, December 7, 1787. On the 28th of 
August, 1609, Henry Hudson discovered the Dela- 
ware R., which, however, afterward took its name 
from Lord Delaware, who entered it in 1610. In 
1682 William Penn obtained a grant of the territory, 
and governed it as a part of Pennsylvania. It was al- 
lowed a separate general assembly in 1703. The amen- 
ded Constitution of 1831 is still the fundamental 
law of the State.— Pop. in 1790, 59,094 (of which 8,887

Some of them removed to Ohio about 1780. They 
were friendly toward the U. S., and formed seveial 
treaties with them. They next crossed tlie Mississippi 
and settled in Kansas. They are now for the most 
part removed to their new lands in the Indian Terri- 
tory, and in part iueorponited with the Cherokees. 
Their number is abt. 1,000. They have a few schools, 
and carry on farming and cattle raising to some ex-

Des Moines, Iowa, the largest river In the 
State formed by the junction of two branches, known 
as the E. and W. forks, which rise in a chain of small 
lakes in S.W. Minn, and flowing S.E. unites in 
Humboldt co., Iowa. From the junction it flows S.E. 
through the middle of the State, and joins the Miss- 
issippi at the N.E. corner, about 4 m. below Keokuk. 
In its course of 300 m. the Des Moines drains 10,000 
sq. m. in Iowa, passing through an undulating, fer- 
tile region, interspersed with tracts of prairie, rich in 
coal, and abounding in timber. Thei'e are many ex- 
cellent mill sites along its banks. The fall from Fort 
Dodge, Webster co., to Ottumwa, Wapello co., is 2 
ft. 4 in. per mile, and from Ottumwa to its mouth, 1 
ft. 11 in. per mile. Many towns have sprung up alongf 
its banks, among which is Des Moines, the State cap. 
The principal tributaries from the West are the Rac- 
coon, or Coon R. and North, Middle, and South rivers; 
the largest E. branch is the Boone, which rises in 
Kossuth and Hancock co. 

—a S.W. CO., bordering on Illinois, washed by the 
Mississippi on the E., bounded S. bj' Skunk R.,

by the C.,R.I.&P.RR. The city is laid out in ijuadri- 
lateral form, extending 4 m. E. and W. and 2 m. N. 
and S. The Des Moines, flowing from the north, di- 
vides it a little E. of the centre, and the portion W. 
of this river, commonly called the " West Side," is 
again divided S. of its "centre by the Raccoon. From 
the confluence of the rivers, on either side, the ground 
rises gradually toward the city limits to a height of 
about 160 ft. Enclosed by the rivers on the S. and E. 
is a plateau about 1 m. long and i m. wide, with an 
average elevation of 15 ft. above high water, wliere 
are situated the post office, court-house, and city 
offices, the principal depots and hotels, and the 
greater portion of the business houses. On the high- 
er ground beyond are some of the finest private resi- 
dences. E. of Des Moines R. is another business lo-

Detroit, 2Iich., a river or strait through which 
the waters of the upper lakes, Superior, Huron, Mich- 
igan, and St. Clair, are discharged into Lake Erie. 
Its length from Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie, is abt. 
28 m. At its outlet from Lake St. Clair, it is over 1 
m. wide. Opposite to Detroit, abt. 8 m. below, it is f 
m. wide. Its course to Detroit is a little S. of W.; but 
here it makes a curve, and pursues a more S. direc- 
tion. Abt. 5 m. below Detroit, the river is divided 
into two channels, by Grand Turkey Island, and soon 
widens to 3 or 4 m., and continues of this width for 
16 or 17 m., until it opens into the N.W. angle of 
Lake Erie. There are many islands in the river, ren- 
dering the navigation somewhat intricate; neverthe- 
less, vessels of considerable burden can be carried 
through into Lake St. Clair. The principal channel 
is on the E. side, between Boisblanc Island and the 
Canada shore. The principal towns on its banks are 
Detroit and Brownstown on the American shore, and 
on the Canada shore Sandwich and Amherstburg. It 
receives from Michigan the River Rouge, abt. 1 na» 
above Grand Turkey Island, and the Huron, at the 
point of connection with Lake Erie. From Canada, 
the only stream worthy of notice is the Canard, which 
enters the Detroit abt. 3J m. above Amherstburg. 

Detroit, (from the French for Strait), Mich.,

S.W. Toronto, Canada, by G.T. of C.RR. Detroit 
with its suburbs stretches abt. 5 m. alongthe river and 
the central part extends for abt. 2 m. back from the 
shore. The streets generally cross each other at right 
angles, and are from 50 to 100 ft. wide. They are for 
the most part ornamented with rows of trees. A 
number of avenues, from 100 to 200 ft. wide, diverge 
from the Grand Circus, a spacious park, semi-circular 
in form, which is divided into two quadrants by 
Woodward avenue. The chief building is the city 
hall, one of the finest structures of the kind in the 
West. Built of sandstone, and designed after the Italian 
style of architecture, it measures 200 ft. long and 90 ft. 
wide, and is surmounted by a tower 180 ft. high. Other 
noteworthy structures are the opera house, the office 
of the board of trade, the Roman Catholic cathedral,

and sailors' monument. It is of bronze and granite, 
55 ft. high and abt. 20 ft. in diameter at the base. It 
is surrounded by a colossal bronze statue of an Indian 
girl representing Michigan in defense of the Union. 
The commercial facilities of Detroit are verj' exten- 
sive. The Detroit K., is a connecting link in the 
great chain of lake navigation, and affords the best har- 
bor on the lakes. The city is the centre of an extensive 
railroad system, and from 10 to 13 daily lines of 
steamers run to various points on the lakes. There is a 
consideiable foreign commerce with Canada, the im- 
ports in 18S2 amounting to $3,232,230 and the exports 
to $1,854,314 ; 3,227 vessels of 227,335 tons entered and 
3,250 of 232,220 cleaied in the foreign trade ; 2,592 of 
1,010,020 entered and 2,744 of 1,043,848 tons cleared 
in the coast-wise trade. At beginning of 1883 the port 
of Detroit possessed 155 sailing vessels of 34,945 tons, 
136 steamers of 43,600 tons and 21 barges of 4,383 
tons. The large quantities of produce, chiefly from 
Michigan, passing eastward through the city by rail 
and water, give to Detroit an extensive domestic com- 
merce. The mauuf. industries of the city are exten- 
sive and important. The working of iron is carried 
on in numerous blast furnaces, foundries, and other 
establishments. Twelve saw-mills annuallv cut from 
45,000,000 to 50,000,000 ft. of lumber ; and 26 brick- 
yards make from 55,000,000 to 60,000,000 bricks a year. 
The extensive PuUmau car works are situated here; 
also one of the seven pin factories in the U. States. 
The Detroit copper-smelting works annually produce 
over $2,000,000 worth of ingot copper from Lake Su- 
perior ore. There are also 9 large llour-mills, abt. 60 
breweries, malt-houses and distilleries, 20 tanneries, 
a large number of tobacco and cigar factories, several 
of boots and shoes, 1 of organs, 1 of white lead, 2 of 
chemicals, 4 ship-yards, 3 large dry-docks, etc. Detroit 
has 10 lines of street railway with more than 45 m. 
of track intersecting the city in every direction. It is 
divided into 11 wards, and has a metropolitan police 
of 100 members, a fire department with 7 steam tire- 
engines, and ample supplies of water from the river. 
There are abt. 65 churches, 14 asylums and hospitals, 
22 public schools, 4 public libraries, the largest con-

the middle of the swamp is Lake Drummond, which 
has an area of abt. 6 sq. in. and abounds in fish. A 
canal through the Dismal Swamp opens steam com- 
munication between Chesapeake Buy and Albemarle 
Sound. The Dismal Swamp is remarkable for its con- 
siderable elevation above the surrounding country. 
The water of this swamp, known as "juniper water," 
is of a dark reddish color, and is carried in large quan- 
tities to Norfolk and Hampton Roads for shipping 
purposes. It is highly prized for its excellent quality, 
and is not liable to become corrupt by keeping.

District, Fa., tp., Berks co. Pop. 798. 

District of* Columbia, 

District of Colu]n1>ia, a territory, con- 
taining the cap. of the U. States. It is situated upon 
the N. bank of the Potomac R., 295 m. from the At- 
lantic Ocean, lat. 38° 53' 38" N., Ion. 77° 3' 6" W. It 
is separated from Va. by the river, and is bounded 
upon three sides by Md. It was originally erected 
under a law of congress of July, 1790, for the es- 
tablishment of a permanent seat of government. 
This law authorized the acquisition by the U. States 
of a territory not exceeding ten miles square, at the 
confluence of the Potomac and its eastern branch. A 
part of the territory thus designated was ceded to the 
U.States by Va., and included the city of Alexandria, 
and a part by Md., including the city of Georgetown. 
By a law of congress of July, 1846, that portion of the 
district which had been ceded to the U.States by Va. , 
was ceded back to that State. The present area of the 
district is 64 sq. m. Under the law of 1790, three com- 
missioners were appointed to receive the cession of the 
district, and to lay out the city of Washington, and 
erect the public buildings for the reception of the 
Federal Government. The corner-stone of the Capi- 
tol was laid by Washington, September 18, 1793. On 
the first Monday of December, 1800, the removal of 
the Government from Philadelphia was effected. The 
district is under the control of congress, and its mu- 
nicipal affairs are regulated by three commissioners 
appointed by the president and senate, by virtue of 
a law of 1874. The courts are constituted by act of 
congress, and the judges appointed by the president 
and senate. By the law of 1874, the municipalities 
of Georgetown and Washington were abolished, and 
the elective franchise throughout the district sup- 
pressed. It has no representative in congress. — The 
surface of the district is diversified by hill and dale, 
is well wooded with oak, maple, chestnut, hickory, 
and other trees, is productive when well cultivated, 
and affords at several points, extended and beauti- 
ful views of the valley of the Potomac. The climate is 
moist and warm, and there is much local miasma, 
la the summer and autumn fevers prevail in some 
parts, especially in the low grounds near the Poto- 
mac. The staple prod, before 1800 was tobacco, the 
culture of which has of late years been abandoned 
for grain, Indian com, hay, fruit, and vegetables, all 
of which are produced in great abundance, and sold 
at renumerative prices in the markets of Washington 
and Georgetown. The shad and herring iisheries of 
the Potomac yield a large revenue. The Chesapeake 
and Ohio Canal connects Georgetown, the head of 
tide water on the Potomac, with Cumberland, the 
centre of the bituminous coal region of the State of 
Md. It is 180 m. in length, and transports 1,000,000 
tons of coal per annum. The district is intersected by 
the Washington and Metropolitan branches of the 
B.&O.RR., and by the B.&P.RK., and is connected 
with the S. by rail to Alexandria, the N. terminus 
of the Virginia railway system. There are well-man- 
aged lines of steamboats running to Norfolk, Balti- 
more, and New York, the last freighted mainly with 
flour from the district mills. The coal tonnage of 
the Potomac exceeds 600,000 tons annually from the 
port of Georgetown, which is the port of entry for 
the District of Columbia. The commerce is almost 
entirely domestic. In 1880, according to census re- 
turns, there were in the district 971 manuf . establish- 
ments, employing 7,146 hands, of whom 5,496 were 
males above 16, 1,389 females above 16, and 261 
youth ; capital invested $5,552,526 ; wages paid dur- 
ing the year $3,924,612 ; value of materials $5,365,- 
400 ; of products $11,882,316— consisting mainly of 
flour, building materials, furniture, clothing, and 
iron. Since 1793 the U. States Government has ex- 
pended $60,000,000 in the erection of public buildings 



and improvement of public grounds in the district. 
— In the extent and excellence of arrangements for 
both public and private education few places excel 
this. There are 125 select schools. The public schools 
number 390, enrolling 25,000 pupils and employing 400 
teachers, with an average salary of $6.50. Those de- 
signed for the colored population are reported as re- 
markably well conducted and successful. Many of 
their buildings are large and handsome. There are 
100 schools for this class, enrolling 7,000 pupils, and 
employing 120 teachers. The total expenditure for 
public schools is abt. $370,000 a year, and the value 
of school property $1,000,000. There are also several 
higher institutions of learning, among which may be 
mentioned : the Georgetown university, the oldest 
Roman Catholic college in America, which has 35 
professors and a library of rare books and manu- 
scripts ; the Columbian university, established by 
Baptists in 1814 ; and the Howard university. The Na- 
tional deaf-mute college, the only collegiate in-sti- 
tution for the deaf mutes in the world, has 8 pro- 
fessors, and gives a regular collegiate course of in- 
struction. There are in the district 130 public libra- 
ries, with an aggregate of 500,000 volumes. The con- 
gressional library contains 320,000 volumes, with 
an immense collection of pamphlets. Copies of every 
work secured by copyright are required to be de- 
posited in it. — There are 120 church edifices in the 
district, of which the Baptists have 25, the Metho- 
dists 42, the Roman Catholics 14, the Episcopalians 
20, the Presbyterians 14, and the Lutherans 8. The 
U. States navy yard in Washington is one of the 
most complete in its appointments of all the dock 
yards in the country. In 1882 the total funded debt 
of the district was $21,892,750. Pop. in 1800, 8,144; 
in 1820, 23,336 ; in 1840, 33,745 ; in 1860, 75,080 (of

East River, iV. Y., a strait connecting New 
York Bay v/i'^b Long Island Sound, about 18 m. long, 
and between New York and Brooklyn about f m. 
wide. It leav?' the sound at a point called Throg's 
Neck, where t'.ie '° is a light-house with a fixed light, 
and where Fort Schuyler defends the N.E. approach 
to New York ; and it enters the bay S.E. of Manhat- 
tan Island, between the metropolis and Brooklyn. It 
also communicates with the Hudson by a narrow 
channel called Harlem R. and Spuyten Duy vel Creek, 
which separate Manhattan Island from the mainland. 
It has a rapid current caused by the tide from the 
Atlantic, which, gathering force as it flows W. into 
the narrowest part of the sound, reaches its greatest 
height in the East R., arrives at New York three- 
quarters of an hour earlier than that which rises in 
the bay, and drives upward along the E. shore of the 
Hudson many miles in advance of the tide on the 
W. shore. The East R. is navigable by vessels of 
the largest size, and is crossed by numerous steam- 
ferries, and also by a noble suspension bridge be- 
tween the cities of New York and Brooklyn, 
which is still (1882) in process of construction. The 
central span across the river is 1,.595 ft. long, and 
the whole length of the bridge will be 6,000 ft. East 
R. contains several islands, and has a pass called 
Hellgate, 7 m. from New York Bay, where a ledge 
of rocks, projecting for some distance from the Long 
Island shore under the channel, and rising at certain 
points almost to the surface of the water, formed at 
times such a seething and eddying current as to send 
terror ti) the hardiest of its navigators. The U. States 
Government in 1870 decided to free the channel of 
these obstructions, and engineers under the direc-

are mainly occupied by pasture lands. It is traversed 
by the Beaver and Erie Canal, and by 6 lines of rail- 
road. The chief prod, in 1880, besides dairy prod, 
and wool, were 713,749 bush, of corn, 256,224 of

— a city and port of entry, cap. of Erie co., and the 
most important mauuf. and commercial city of N.W. 
Pa., beautifully situated on Lake Erie, nearly mid- 
way between Buffalo and Cleveland, 117 m. N. of 
Pittsburgh. This city is a very extensive iron manuf. 
center, and as a residence place, has no superior on 
the lakes. It stands upon an elevated bluff command- 
ing a fine view of the lakes. The streets are broad, 
and the residence portion of Erie is very handsome. 
State street is the principal business thoroughfare. 
The city contains several parks. Among the public 
buildings are the post-office, the custom-house, and 
the opera-house. The L.S.&M.S., the Philadelphia 
and Erie div. of the Penn., and E.&P.RRs., afford 
communication with Buffalo, Philadelphia, Pitts- 
burgh and the West. The harbor, which has been arti- 
ficially improved, is 3i m. long, over 1 m. wide, and 
from 9 to 25 ft. deep, and is protected by Presque Isle, 
formerly a peninsula, lying in front of the city. At the 
entrance are 2 light-houses, and there are several 
large docks. In 1880 there were entered and cleared 
in the coastwise trade 2,024 vessels of 1,565, 183 tonsj; 
the value of imports from, and exports to Canada were 
small ; the enrolled tonnage of the port was 28,247. 
The principal articles of shipment are lumber, coal, 
iron ore, and petroleum. The leading manuf. are of 
iron, embracing stoves, steam-engins, machinery, 
car wheeels, and car works, besides which there are 
various other manuf. Erie has 4 nat. banks, and 5 
other and savings banks ; 3 daily and 11 wkly papers, 
and 4 insurance companies, an academy, marine hos- 
pital, 29 churches, and abt. 50 public schools. It is 
divided into 6 wards, and is governed by a mayor, 
and a select council of 2 members, and a common 
council of 3 members for each ward. It is lighted 
with gas, and is supplied from the lake with water, 
which is forced by powerful engines to the top of a 
tower 200 ft. high, whence it is distributed through 
the mains. Erie was laid out in 1795, and received 
its city character in 1851. Pop. in 1860, 9,419 ; in 1870, 
19,646 ; in 1880, 27,730.

Erie Canal, the most important, as well as the 
largest, canal in the U.S., extends from Buffalo to 
Albany, N.Y., and is 363 m. long. It was completed 
in 1825 at a cost of 87,602,000. Its original width was 
40 feet at the surface, with a depth of 4 feet ; but the 
canal has been subsequently so enlarged that the sur- 
face-width is 70 feet, the bottom-width 42 feet, and 
the depth 7 feet. The commercial importance of this 
canal is very great. It is chiefly employed for trans-

porting grain and such other bulky articles as do not

Erie L<ake, one of the five great lakes drained 
by the St. Lawrence, lies between 41° 22' and 42° 52' 
N. lat., and between 78° 23' W. Ion. It has the States 
of Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York on the S. and 
S.E. border, and the fertile peninsula of Ontario, 
Canada, on the N. It has an elliptical shape, and is 
about 265 m. long, and varies in its breadth from lU 
to 63 m. It receives at its W. end, through Detroit 
K. or strait, the discharge of water from the great 
upper lakes, and discharges its own waters through 
Niagara R. Its surface is elevated 565 feet above tide- 
water at Albany, 52 feet below lake Michigan and 
Huron, and 322 ft. above the level of Lake Ontario. 
Its waters are more shallow than those of the great 
lakes. The greatest depth which has been obtained 
by sounding, is 270 ft. Its mean depth is not over 12U 
ft. It receives from Canada but a few small streams, 
the principal of which is the Ouse or Wellaud, near 
its E. extremity. From Michigan it receives the Hu- 
ron and Raisin ; from Ohio, the Maumee, Portage, 
Sandusky, Vermillion, Black, Cuyahoga, Grand, Ash- 
tabula and Conneaut ; and from Pennsylvania, Elk, 
and other small creeks ; and from N. York, the Cat- 
taraugus and Buffalo creeks. The rivers of lake Erie 
have bars at their mouths, rarely affording more than 
eight ft. water. A little N.W. of the mouth of San- 
dusky bay, is a group of islands called North, Middle 
and South Bass islands. In the N. part of the S. is- 
land, is Put-in bay, which has twelve ft. of water, 
and affords the best harbor on the lake, and is eas- 
ily accessible. Into this harbor Commodore Perry 
brought his prizes, after the battle of Lake Erie. The 
battle was fought a little to the N.W. of this, Sept. 
10, 1813. The best harbors on the S. shor^e, are San- 
dusky in O., Erie in Pa., and Buffalo and Black Rock, 
in N.Y. Port Maitland, at the mouth of the Grand or 
Ouse R. forms the best, and almost the only harbor 
on the Canada shore. In consequence of its shallow- 
ness, a part of the lake is frozen over every winter, 
and navigation is for several months suspended. Ow- 
ing also to its shallowness, it is readily disturbed by 
wind ; and for this reason, and for its peaucity of 
good harbors, it has the reputation of being the most 
dangerous to navigate of any of the great lakes. In 
the season of navigation an immense amount of 
transportation is done upon it, and its commerce is 
of great value. The commuication with Lake Ontario 
is through the Welland canal, constructed across the 
Canadian peninsula. The fisheries of this lake are of 
little importance compared with those of the upper 
lakes, where the same kinds of fish are more abun- 
dant and of better quality.

Florida, the most S. State of the Union, ap- 
proaches within one degree of the torrid zone. It 
lies between lat. 24" 30' and 31° N., Ion. 80° and 87° 
45' W.,and is bounded N. by Ga. and Ala. — from 
which last it is separated on the N.W. by the Per- 
dido R. The Atlantic washes its E., and the Gulf of 
Mexico its S. and W. coasts, forming a sea-board of 
more than 1,000 ra. Its entire length from Perdido R. 
to Cape Sable is abt. 700 m., its mean breadth 90 m.; 
area, 54,240 sq. m. The peninsula proper terminates 
on the S. of Cape Sable ; but a remarkable chain of 
rocky islets, called the Florida Keys, begins at Cape 
Florida on the E. shore, extends S.W. nearly 200 m. 
in a direction generally conforming with that of the 
coast, and ends in a cluster of sand-heaped rocks 
known as the Tortugas. South of the bank on which 
these Keys rise, and separated from them by a navi- 
gable channel, is the long, narrow and dangerous 
coral ridge known as the Florida Reef. The most 
important of the keys is Key West. The Gulf 
coast of the State is intersected by numerous bays, 
among which are Peusacola, Choctawhatchee, St. 
Andrews, Appalachicola, Appalachee, Tampa, Char- 
lotte, Ponce de Leon or Chatham, and Florida 
Bays, the last lying between the Keys and mainland. 
The chief rivers are the St. John's and the Indian R., 
which empty into the Atlantic ; and the Suwanee, 



Ockloconee, Appalachicola, Choctawhatchee, Es- 
cambia, and Perdido, which flow into the Gulf of 
Mexico. The St. Mary's makes for some distance 
the northern boundary of the State. Florida has also 
uumeious lakes, some of wiiich are navigable. Lake 
Okeechobee, in the Everglades, is abt. 40 m. long 
and 30 broad. The surface is generally level, the 
greatest elevation being not more than 300 feet 
above the sea. The most remarkable feature is the 
immense tract of marsh filled with islands in the S. 
part of the State, called the Everglades, and by the 
Indians "grass-water." The soil is generally sandy, 
except in tue hummocks, where it is intermixed with 
clay. Florida, except in the vicinity of the swamps, 
possesses one of the most equable and agreeable 
climates of the continent. Occupying as it does a 
situation between the temperate and tropical re- 
gions, it enjoys exemption from the frosts and sudden 
changes of the one and the excessive heat of the 
other. The mercury, however, sometimes falls to the 
freezing point, and great damage is done to the 
orange plantations. Statistics show the State to be 
one of the healthiest, if not the healthiest, in the U. 
States, and its resident population is largely In- 
creased in the winter months by invalids from the 
North, seeking a more genial clime. — The produc- 
tions of Florida are of an essentially tropical char- 
acter; cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar-cane, arrow-root, 
hemp, flax, coffee, and the cocoa-nut flourish there. 
The climate is also favorable to the cultivation of 
the silk-worm and for the cochineal insect. Oranges, 
bananas, lemons, limes, olives, grapes, pine-apples, 
grow abundantly, and are of exquisite flavor. 
The cultivation and export of oranges and other 
fruits have grown to be a considerable source of 
wealth to the State ; and the manufacture of cigars, 
especially at Key West, is becoming an important 
industry. The pasturage afforded by the savannas is 
excellent, cattle requiring little or no attention from 
their owners, and no housing in winter. Game and 
fish abound in every part of the State. Deer, wild 
turkeys, partridges, geese, ducks, and other small 
game are in all the forests aTid about all the lakes, 
rivers, and swamps ; green turtle, oysters, sheep's- 
head, red-fish, mullet, etc., are found on all the 
coasts, and fresh-water fish in all the inland waters. 
The State also produces the panther, wild-cat, rac- 
coon, opossum, flying-squirrel, armadillo, alligator, 
and many kinds of serpents. Magnificent sponges 
are gathered along the reefs, and form a consider- 
able item of trade. Cotton, rice, sugar, tobacco, 
lumber, fish, and fruits may be considered the most 
valuable products. According to the census of 1880, 
there were in Florida 863,515 acres of tilled land ; 
the total value of farms was $22,128,013 ; of farm 
products, $8,129,801. The principal products for the 
census year were 1,450,699 lbs. of rice, 3,040,657 lbs. 
of corn, 306,766 of oats, 1,752,909 of potatoes, 922,- 
325 galls, of molasses, 210,357 lbs. of honey. 57,202 
bales of cotton, 23,085 ll)s. of tobacco, 89,028 bbls. 
of peaches, and abt. 80,000,000 oranges. The value 
of live stock on farms was $5,088,744, including 22,- 
636 horses, 9,066 mules and asses, 16,141 working 
oxen, 42,174 milch cows, 409,055 other cattle, 56,681 
sheep (yielding 200,000 lbs. of wool), and 287,051 
swine. Florida cotton is grown almost exclusively in 
the northern group of counties, but the State is 
capable of producing the celebrated Sea Island va- 
riety, the cultivation of which was formerly confined 
to a few islands on the coasts of S. C. and Ga. Ap- 
palachicola, formerly a considerable shipping port 
for cotton, has been superseded by Fernandina on 
the Atlantic. The wool grown in Florida is long- 
shaped, of medium and coarse grades, little atten- 
tion being as yet given to producing fine wools. The 
forests form no inconsiderable source of wealth. The 
live-oak, so valuable in ship-building, abounds, also

the other varieties of oak, swamp cypress, hickory, 
pine, magnolia, dogwood, and laurel. The palma 
christi (castor-oil bean) becomes here a large tree ; on 
the islands and keys, boxwood, satinwood, mastic, 
and lignum-vitaB grow abundantly. The pine is found 
from Cape Sable to near Indian R. — Manufactures are 
unimportant, and arechiefly confined to flour and urist 
mills, and establishments for the manufacture of 
sugar and molasses. In 1880 there were 426 manuf. 
establishments, employing 5,404, capital invested $3,- 
210,680, wages paid during the year, $1,270,875, 
value of materials, $3,040,119, of products, $5,546,- 
448. Agriculture and commerce are the chief re- 
sources of the State, — the export of its fibrous pro- 
ducts, cereals, fruits, fish, live-oak, and other tim- 
ber, giving employment to a considerable tonnage. 
Among the mineral productions may be named 
amethyst, turquoise, lapis-lazuli, ochre, coal, and 
iron ore, — Notwithstanding the great extent of its 
sea-coast, Florida has few good harbors. Besides 
being a naval station, Key West is a place of consid- 
erable importance, Peusacola, Appalachicola, St. 
Marks, Cedar Keys, Tampa, and Charlotte on the 
Gulf, and Fernandina and St. Augustine on the At- 
lantic coast, are the principal ports. Of these the 
harbors of Pensacola and Fernandina are the best. 
The coasting trade employs many steamers and sail- 
ing craft, plying chiefly between Florida ports and 
Savannah, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York, 
The bulk of foreign merchandise reaches the State 
from northern ports instead of by direct importation. 
Key West shows much the largest tonnage of ves- 
sels entering or clearing, St. John's and Fernandina 
following in the order named. Ship-building is car- 
ried on at all the ports, the vessels usually being of 
small burthen, for coast traflBc. — In 1882, there 
were 793 m. of railroad in operation in Florida. — The 
public school system of the State is increasing in scope 
and efficiency. The latest official report shows 992 pub- 
lic common schools, with 36,964 scholars in attend- 
ance. — Florida is divided into 39 counties, viz.: Ala- 
chua, Baker, Bradford, Brevard, Calhoun, Clay, Co- 
lumbia, Dade, Duval, Escambia, Franklin, Gadsden, 
Hamilton, Hernando, Hillsborough, Holmes, Jack- 
son, Jefferson, Lafayette, Leon, Levy, Liberty, 
Madison, Manatee, Marion, Monroe, Nassau, 
Orange, Polk, Putnam, St. John's, Santa Rosa, Sum- 
ter, Suwanee, Taylor, Volusia, Wakulla, Walton, 
Washington. The cities are Jacksonville, Pensacola, 
St. Augustine, and Tallahassee (the cap.). — The ex- 
ecutive power is vested in a governor elected by the 
people every 4 years. The legislative power is repre- 
sented by a senate elected for 4 years, and a house 
of representatives or assembly chosen for 2 years. 
The judiciary consists of a supreme court, having 
one chief and two associate judges, who hold three 
annual sessions in Tallahassee ; there are also 7 cir- 
cuit besides other inferior courts. The State sends 2 
representatives to the federal Congress, and has 4 
electoral votes. In 1882 the State debt was $1,285,- 
260 ; and the valuation of taxable property $36,691,- 
823. — Florida was the first part of the LT. States oc- 
cupied by Europeans. Sebastian Cabot discovered 
the coast in 1497. De Leon and Ferdinand de Soto 
visited it in 1521 and 1539. It was ceded by Spain to 
the U. States in 1821 for $5,000,000. The Seminole 
war broke out in 1835, lasted 7 years and cost 1,466 
lives and $10 to $15,000,000. The State was admitted 
to the Union Marcn 3, 1845. It passed an ordinance 
of secession Jan. 10, 1861, which was repealed Oct. 
28, 1865. A new constitution was ratified in May, 1868. 
—Pop. in 1830, 34,730; in 1860,140,424 ; in 1870, 187,-

Genesee River, N. Y., rises in Potter co.. 
Pa., within a few yards of the head waters of the 
Alleghany and the N. branch of the Susquehanna, 
flows N.W. and N.E. through Alleghany, Wyoming, 
Livingston, and Monroe counties, N.Y., and falls 
into Lake Ontario, 7 m. N. of Rochester. Length, abt. 
145 m. It is navigable from Lake Ontario to the N. 
line of Rochester. The river abounds in beautiful 
scenery, especially in cataracts. In Livingston co., 
near Portage, are 3 falls within a distance of 2 m., 
which are respectively 60, 90, and 110 ft. high ; and 
for several miles below these the stream flows be- 
tween perpendicular banks 400 ft. high. At the S. 
line of Rochester commences a series of rapids, 
which terminate in the centre of the city in a sheer 
fall of 96 ft., called Genesee Falls. Six miles from the 
mouth of the river is a broken fall of 84 ft., by which 
the stream reaches the level of the lake. The Gene- 
see is tapped above the rapids to feed the Erie canal, 
which at Rochester crosses it by a fine limestone 
aqueduct of nine arches, each of 50 ft. span. The 
Genesee Valley canal, commencing at Rochester, 
follows the course of the river for a considerable 
distance, locks into it at Mt. Morris, and crosses it 
at Portage by an aqueduct.

but in the latter year it was merged in the District of

distinct existence. It is beautifully situated along a 
range of hills, whose loftier eminences, locally called 
the Heights, aiford delightful positions for villas and 
country seats, with extensive prospects over the river 
and Washington. It contains the Georgetown college, 
the oldest Catholic college in the U. States, with a li- 
brary of upwards of 30,000 volumes, an extensive ap- 
paratus for physical science, and a museum of nat- 
ural history ; the convent of the visitation with a fe- 
male academy attached ; the Peabody library, the 
Luithicum institute, &c. A great decline has taken 
place in the commercial activity of Georgetown. Its 
foreign trade is very slight ; but its share in the coast- 
ing trade is still considerable, 146 steamers and 43 
sailing vessels, affording an aggregate tonnage of 80,- 
143 tons having entered in 1880. Its position at the 
terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal secures 
for it a fair share in the shipping of the coal from 
the Alleghany fields ; and its fisheries render it a great 
market for shad and herrings. It has 6 Hour mills, 
whose products are highly prized. Its p.o. is a branch 
of that of Washington. Pop. 12,578.

Georgetown, S. O., an E. co., bordering on the 
Atlantic, bounded S. W. by Santee R. and intersected 
by the Great Pedee, Black, and Waccamaw, which 
unite just above Georgetown and enter the ocean 
through the estuary called Winyaw Bay ; area, 813 
sq. m. The surface is level and partly occupied by 
marshes and pine forests. The soil is generally fertile. 
The chief prod, in 1880 were 44,161 bush, of corn, 
10,627,789 lbs. of rice, and 160 bales of cotton. Cap.,

commerce is small. In the coastwise trade 37 vessels 
of 11,864 tons in aggregate entered the port in 1880. In 
the same year there were 8 sailing vessels of 997 tons

Georgia, a S. state bounded N. by Tennessee 
and North Carolina, E. by South Carolina and the 
Atlantic ocean, S. by Florida, and W. by Alabama. 
The Savannah R. separates the State on the E. from 
S. C; the St. Mary's, on the S., divides it in part from 
Fla.; the Chattahoochee, on the W., flows between 
Ga. and Ala. for nearly half its course. Ga. lies be- 
tween lat. 30° 21' 39' and 35° N., and. between Ion. 
81° and 85° 53' 38" W. It is 320 m. long from N. to 
S., and 256 m. in its greatest breadth from E. to W. ; 
area, 58,980 sq. m. The sea-coast of Ga., like that 
of the Carolinas, is skirted by fertile islands, sepa- 
rated from the mainland by narrow lagoons or by 
sounds. This section is essentially tropical. 
Beginning at the sea-coast, a gradually ascending 
sandy plain extends N. and W. as far as the head of 
navigation on the Savannah, Ogeechee, Oconee 
and'Ocmulgee Rs., where it meets a primary 
formation. Augusta, MilledgeviUe and Macon indi- 
cate the N. limit of this tract. Here begins the 
hilly and finally mountainous region, the most ex- 
tensive, fertile and salubrious of the State. A sec- 
ond plateau, 60 or 70 m. broad, stretches above the 
falls of the rivers until it meets the southernmost 
ranges of the great Appalachian chain of mountains 
which traverses Virginia, North Carolina, and north- 
ern Ga., under the name of the Blue Ridge, and is

finally lost in Alabama. This picturesque district 
e.Ktends in Ga. from Kabun Co. in the N. E. corner 
of the State to Dade in the extreme N. W., where 
the summit of Lookout Mountain dominates the 
valley of the Tennessee. Here are the sources of 
the two principal rivers of the State ; here is the 
gold producing region ; and here is also the theatre 
of some of the most sanguinaiy battles of the civil 
war. The elevations of the Blue Kidge vary from 
1,200 to 4,000 feet. In the S. E. of the State is the 
extensive Okeflnokee swamp, which has an esti- 
mated circumference of 180 m., is filled with pools 
and islands, and is the congenial home of alligators, 
lizards, and other reptiles. There are many fine 
rivers in Ga. A north and south line passing through 
Macon would nearly divide the streams flowing into 
the Atlantic from those discharging into the Gulf 
of Mexico. The Savannah, Ogeechee, Altamaha, 
Santilla, and St. Mary's fall into the Atlantic, and the 
Chattahoochee, Flint, and tributaries of the Suwanee 
flow to the Gulf coast. Ga. has about 128 m. of sea- 
coast, but has few good harbors, except within the 
rivers emptying upon it. St. Mary's, Brunswick, 
Darien, andSavannah are the principal. The chain 
of islands lying otf the mainland produces the cele- 
brated sea-islaud cotton, but owing to the changes 
brought about by the Secession war it is now little 
cultivated. — The central and southern portions of 
Ga., including the seaboard, are subject to excessive 
heats in summer. At Savannah observations show 
the mean temperature for July to have sometimes 
reached 99° Fahr. In the northern district of the 
State the same season is cooler and less enervating. 
Indeed, the mountain region is becoming noted for 
its genial and healthful climate, and is attracting in- 
valids and pleasure-seekers from all parts of the 
Union. In the low, marshy lands lying contiguous 
to or upon the coast, malarious fevers prevail in 
spring and summer. The belt of country stretching 
from^Augusta across the State to Columbus, having 
a width of from 30 to 60 m., is pronounced a very 
healthy district. At Augusta the mean summer 
temperature is about 79% the winter 47°. At Atlanta 
careful observations give the average of summer 
heat as 75°, and winter 45°. The interior is com- 
paratively free from the dreaded epidemics cholera 
and yellow fever, but Savannah and the coast are 
periodically scourged by them. — There is in Ga. as 
great diversity of soil as of climate. Beginning 
with the Sea Islands, which are composed of a 
sandy alluvium, intermixed with decomposed coral, 
we pass from the rich alluvions near the coast, in 
which the great rice plantations are, to the thinner 
soil of the Pine Belt, sometimes inaptly denominated 
Pine Barrens. These are at present valuable for 
their timber and naval stores, but are susceptible of 
cultivation. The middle region consists of a red 
loam, once productive, but from long cultivation 
impoverished. With the aid of fertilizers it pro- 
duces cotton, tobacco and cereals. We now reach 
the so-called Cherokee country of the north, con- 
taining lands among the most fertile in the State, 
lands which, notwithstanding their tillage from an 
unknown period by the aboriginal inhabitants, grow 
wheat, corn, Irish potatoes, i)ease, beans, etc., 
abundantly. Cotton may also be successfully culti- 
vated, but with less advantage than in other dis- 
tricts of the State. This fibre is chiefly produced 
along the fertile bottom-lauds or contiguous uplands 
of the rivers. The same lands yield rice, Indian 
corn and sugar. Middle and S. W. Ga. are the most 
productive cotton areas. In the S. W. the soil, 
though light and sandy, produces cotton. In S. Ga. 
there are millions of acres of magnificent yellow 
pine forests of great value for house or ship-building, 
and in these forests turpentine plantations have 
been opened. The live-oak, also valuable for ship- 



building purposes, abounds in the S. E. of the State. 
The swamps afford cedar and cj^jress, the central 
region oak and hickory. All the fruits of the tem- 
perate zone succeed well in Ga. Cotton is the 
great crop of Ga. She ranks second among the cot- 
ton States. The principal products for the year 
1880 were as follows :

In 1881 there were on farms 121,584 horses, 199,182 
mules, 273,100 milch cows, 408,816 oxen and other 
cattle, 378,144 sheep, and 1,701,660 hogs. — Ga. is 
equally rich in minerals. Iron ores of the very best 
quality abound in various parts of the State. Cop- 
per occurs in the northern districts, known as the 
Cherokee country, and numerous mines have been 
opened ; a few of which only are worked with profit. 
Gold is found in limited quantities, and, before the 
Cal. discovery was considered of sufficient impor- 
tance to supply a U. States Mint at Dahlonega with 
the metal. The yield of gold for the year 1882 was 
$125,000. There are also mines of manganese, soap- 
stone, mica, asbestos, barytes, kaolin, lime, slate, 
marl, &c. — Ga. is the foremost southern State in 
her railroad and manufacturing enterprises. Both 
have been chiefly developed since the war. Her 
rivers and railways afford abundant facilities for the 
movement of merchandise as well as ciops. Her 
streams also provide excellent and unfailing water- 
power. In the development of her industries a 
great future is predicted for Ga. Indeed, some of 
the more sanguine claim that she is already becom- 
ing a formidable rival of New England in the manu- 
facture of cotton and woolen fabrics. Ga. had, in 
1880, 3,1393 manufacturing establishments, employ- 
ing ^,875 hands; capital invested, $20,672,410; 
wages paid during the year, $5,266,152; value of 
materials, $24,143,939; value of products, $36,440,948. 
Among them were 40 cotton-mills whose aggregate 
capital was $6,348,6.57; spindles, 198,6.56; looms, 
4,493. Ga. had, in 1882, 2,581 m. of railroad in oper- 
ation. — The State is divided into 1.36 cos., viz. :

Wileoxr Wilkes, Wilkinson, and Worth. There are 
eight cities, viz.: Savannah (the chief sea-port), 
Atlanta (the cap.), Augusta, Macon, Columbus, 
Athens, Milledgeville, and Rome. The important 
towns are Albanj', Americus, Bainbridge, Bruns- 
wick, Cartersville, Covington, Cuthbert, Dalton, 
Dawson, Eatonton, Fort Valley, Griffin, LaGrange, 
Marietta, Newnan, Thomasville, Valdosta, Wash- 
ington, and West Point, Columbus. Anderson- 
viile, in Sumter co., acquired terrible celebrity dur- 
ing the civil war as the site of the chief military 
prison of the Southern Confederacj' ; Atlanta is a 
railway and manufacturing centre. In the vicinity 
and for its possession were conducted some of the 
most important military operations of the secession 
war. — The legislative authority is A^ested in a gen- 
eral assembly, consisting of a senate of 44 members, 
and a house of representatives of 175 members. The 
legislature meets annually. The governor and other 
executive officers hold office for a term of four years. 
The judicial authority is vested in a supreme court of 
three judges, 19 circuit courts, and county courts for 
the most populous counties. Ga. sends 10 representa- 
tives to the Federal Congress, and has 12 electoral 
votes. The valuation of taxable property for the 
year 1880 was $238,934,126 (real estate $139,657,250, 
personal property $99,276,876). — Previous to the war 
there was no common school in Ga. Although a 
plan of public instruction was organized at an 
earlier date, it was not given effect until 1873. 
Schools are now to be found in every co. in the 
State. The attendance in 1880 was : White pupils, 
150,134 ; colored, 86,429. There are a large number 
of colleges in the State. The State University at 
Athens, with its branches at Milledgeville, 
Dahlonega, Cuthbert, Thomasville, and Augusta, 
taught in 1880 a grand aggregate of 1,288 pupils. 
There are male colleges at'Covington, Oxford and 
Macon, and female colleges at Macon, Covington, 
Greenesboro, Lagrange, Newnan, Dalton, and 
Rome, and high schools at other points. There are 
also institutions for the blind (at Rome), and for the 
deaf and dumb (near Rome). — Of the 13 provinces 
which declared themselves independent in 1776, Ga. 
was the latest settled (1773) ; it was named in honor 
of George II. An ordinance of secession was passed 
Jan. 19, 1861. Gen. Sherman made his march through 
Ga. in 1864. The State was readmitted into the 
Union in July, 1867. A new constitution was adopted 
in 1877. Pop. in 1790, 82,548; in 1820, 340,433 ; in

Oila (he'la), Ariz, and -V. 31ex., a river which rises 
iu the Sierra Madre Mts., in Socorro co., N. Mex., 
flows S.W. to near Ariz., where it bends S. and 
J hen flows W. through that territory to its junction 
with the Colorado, of which it it is the principal trib- 
utary, abt. 180 m. above its mouth. Its sources are 
abt. 5,000 ft. above the sea. The principal tributaries 
from the N. are the Rio Nutroso, Prieto, Bonito, San 
Carlos, Salt R., or Rio Salado, and Agua Fria Creek ; 
from the S. the Rio San Domingo and San Pedro. For 
more than half its entire length, which is nearly 500 
111., the Gila passes through mountains, and in some 
places is unapproachable, being buried between walls 
of perpendicular rock nearly 1,000 ft. high. It emerges 
from the mountains in Ion. 111° 55' W., after which its 
course is through an open and comparatively level 
country to its termination. In the last 300 m. it has an 
average fall of 5 ft. per mile, and averages 60 ft. in 
width, 3 ft.in depth, and in velocity2m.au hour. In the 
lower portion the valley is from 1 to 3 m. wide ;abt. 1.50 
in. from its mouth there is a considerable bend to the 
N. where the valley for 25 m. is from 5 to 10 m. wide. 
Gold and silver are found near the banks of the Gila. 
The ruined edifices, broken pottery, and traces of ir- 
rigating canals found along this river, show that its 
former population was much larger than at present. 
About 200 m. from the Colorado, in one of the finest 
portions of the valley, is the reservation of Maricopa 
and Pimo Indians. It is intersected in all directions 
by irrigating canals, and produces abundant crops.

E. and W.,audincludiuguearly all of Nevada, agreat 
part of Utah, a large area in California, and small 
parts of Wyoming, Idaho, and Oregon. Its waters do 
not reach the sea, hence it is called a basin. It is how- 
ever, in reality, a series of basins, mostly long, brok- 
en N. and S. valleys lyiug between rugged mountain 
ranges. Across these ridges and valleys the valley of 
the Humboldt R.strikes diagonally, aflordiug the only 
practicable railroad route from E. to W.— the route 
of the C.P.RR. The climate is very dry, and agricul- 
ture is not practicable without irrigation. The streams, 
are small, and important only for irrigation and min- 
ing purposes. The Humboldt, Carson, Bear, Jordan, 
Provo, Beaver, Sevier, and W^eber rivers are the larg- 
est. Great Salt Lake is the largest body of water, and 
Utah Lake is the principal fresh-water lake. The 
other lakes, some of them mere "sinks" or marshy 
places, are partly salt and partly fresh, while some 
are composed of highly complex chemical solutionis, 
like ISIono Lake in California. The climate is gener- 
ally healthful. There is a considerable grazing indus- 
try. Gold, silver, lead, borax, salt, sulphur, and soda 
salts are abundant, and the mining interest is impor- 
tant.

contains 20.196 per cent, of common salt, 1. 834 of 
sodic sulphate, 0.252 of magnesium chloride, and a 
trace of calcium-chloride. Its specific gravity is 1.170,

Oreen Mountain, N.C., p.o., Yancey co. 

Oreen Mountains, the N. part of the Ap- 
palachian chain. It commences at West Rock, near 
New Haven, Conn., and passing through the W. 
parts of Conn, and Mass., and holding a middle 
course in Vt., between Lake Champlain and Connecti- 
cut R., extends to the borders of Canada. In its S. 
part, this chain is not entirely continuous, but can 
readily be traced ; but from the N. line of Mass. to 
Monlpelier, Vt., the range continues lofty and un- 
broken through by any considerable stream. S. from 
Montpelier two ranges extend, one N.E. nearly par- 
allel with the Connecticut R., dividing the waters 
flowing E. from those flowing W.; and the other, 
which is the higher and more broken, extending 
nearly N. and near Lake Champlain. Through this 
range the Onion, Lamoille, and Missique Rs. make 
their way toward the lake. Among the principal 
peaks are Mt. Mansfield, 20 m. N.W. Montpelier, 
4,279 ft. above the sea ; Camel's Hump, 17 m. W. of 
I\Iontpelier, 4,188 ft.; Killington peak, near Rutland, 
3,924 ft.; and Ascutney, in Windsor co., near the 
Connecticut R., 3,320 ft. Particular names are locally 
api)lied to the part of the range going through Mass. 
and Conn.; as the Hoosac Mts. in Mass. for that por- 
tion lying between the Connecticut and Housatonic 
Rs., and constituting the most elevated portion of 
the State, and the Taconic Mts. for the W. part of 
the range, alongthe New York line. The Green Mts. 
neither forms the marked uniformity of elevation 
and parallel of its ridges that characterizes the Ap- 
palachian chain further S.; nor have these the ab- 
ruptness and precipitous outlines of tJie granite 
summits of the White Mts. They give name (from the 
French monts verts) to the State of Vermont, and con- 
stitute its most prominent feature.

^jJiiiroI'itlt'xico, a large inland sea washing 
the shore of the U. States and ^lexico, connected 
by the Florida cbaiuiel with the N. Atlantic ocean, 
and by the channel of Yucatan with the Carribcan 
Sea, situated between lat. 18° and 31° N,, and be- 
tween Ion. 81° and 98° W. Length from E. to W., 
1,200 m., average breadth, 650 m.; area, abt. 800,000 
6(|. m. This sea, which is of an irregular circular 
shape, is, unlike the Carribcan Sea, almost clear of 
shoals and islands, none being found except on the 
coasts of Yucatan and Florida. Along the coasts of 
Mexico it.s soundings are very regular, with 100 
fathoms at a distance of 30 m. from the shore. On 
the N. side, and especially opposite the mouths of 
the Mississippi, the depth is considerably diminished 
and at its E. extremity the navigation is rendered 
intricate ami dangerous by the Tortugas bank, 
Florida reef, and various other keys, shoals, and in- 
lets, including the great Bahama bank, which sur- 
round the N. coast of Cuba. The E. trade winds pre- 
vail from A\m\ to October, this being usually the 
Wet season ; the Xartcs begin in October, but are not 
violent till the middle of November, from which 
time till the end of February they blow with great 
fury, and are ol)jeets of much dread to navi£rators. 
These gales last for four or five, and occasionally 
even ten days ; but their extreme fierceness is usually 
spent in the first 48 hours. At these times the larger 



vessels, which cannot enter the shallow harbors of 
the Mexican coast, are obliged to slip their anchors, 
and keep as far as possible off shore. Examples are 
not wanting also of nortes happening between May 
and August, at which time they are particularly 
furious. Luckily, however, the hurricanes and tor- 
nadoes of the gulf are by no means so fierce and de- 
structive as those in the Carribean sea. The prin- 
cipal current of the gulf of Mexico, and the only one 
worth mention, is the remarkable 5r«//"s<re«;«, which 
sets W.N.W. between cape St. Antonio and cape 
Catoche ; this runs from 12 to 30 m. a day, and is 
perceptible even during the nortes, except close along 
the shores of Mexico. At the N.W, extremity of the 
gulf its course gradually changes, till, at the mouth 
of the Mississippi, it turns E., and afterward S.E., as 
it again rushes out into the Atlantic ocean, at the 
rate of 80 m. in the 24 hours. The tides of the gulf of 
Mexico are of no great importance, they nowhere 
exceed 3 or 4 ft.; but their average rise is not more 
than 2 ft. The color of the water is a deep indigo, 
darker or more intense than that of the ocean ; 
phosphorescent lights shines on it with great bril- 
liancy, and between the coasts of Yucatan and Louis- 
iana great quantities of Jtutis nutans occur in parallel 
lines from S.S.E. to N.N.W., and are carried out in 
large masses through the Straits of Florida.

Harper's Ferry, M-'. la., p. v. ■#, Jefferson co., 
is grandly situated at the foot of Bolivar heights and 
at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac 
Rs., where they intersect the Blue Ridge, 45 m. N.W. 
Washington. It is the junction-point of the B.,0. 
and its H.F.&V. branch, 97 m. E. of Cumberland; 
and the Ohio and Chesapeake canal passes along the 
^Maryland side of the Potomac R. The village since 
the civil war has been in a decaying condition. It is 
the seat of Stover College, for students of color. Pre- 
vious to the war Harper's Ferry contained an exten- 
sive arsenal and armory, and during the war it was the 
scene of several exploits which have given it a name 
in history. On the IGth October, 1859, it was siezed by 
John Brown, the abolitionist, who was overpowered 
on the ISth and taken prisoner. April, 1861, it was cap- 
tured by the Confederates, who on evacuating it in 
June destroyed the arsenal and armory and the bridge 
across the Potomac. The village was afterwards held 
by a Union garrison of 12,000men, who, however, on 
the 15th September, 1862, after a brave resistance of 
several days, surrendered to a strong Confederate 
force luider Jackson and A. P. Hill. After the battle 
of Antietam, on the 17th of the same mouth, it was 
reoecupied hy the army of the Potomac under Gen- 
eral McClellan. In June, 1863, it was again abandon- 
ed to the Confederates. After their defeat at Gettys- 
burg, the town again fell into the hands of the Fed- 
eral troops, who held it until the demonstration 
against Washington in Julv, 1804. After the battle 
of Monocacy on July 9th it was occupied by the 
United States forces, and held by them until the end 
of the war. The most flourishing part of the town 
was nearly destroyed by a flood in the Shenandoah, 
October, 1878. Pop. 704 ; of tp. 1,219.

of Washington and 105 W. by N. from Philadelphia. 
The river, which is here a mile in width, Is crossed 
by two bridges, one of which is for the use of the

umes. Among the benevolent institutions are the 
city hospital, the home for the friendless, and the 
State lunatic hospital. An abundant water supply 
is obtained from the river. Coal and iron are largely 
wrought in the neighborhood, and the great facilities 
of communication both by canal and railroad have 
enabled the city to become one of the centres of the 
iron trade. It possesses large iron-foundries, 
manuf. of steel, machines, boilers, engines, carriages, 
nails, files, galvanized iron, brooms, soap, and shoes,

Iliirlford, a city<$, the cap. of Hartford co., 
and of the State. It is .situated on the W. bank of 
the Coiniecticut R., WJ m. from Long Island Sound, 
at the head of steamboat and sloop navigation, and 
100 m. N.E. New York, and 95 W.S.W. Boston by 
rail. An important centre of jailway communication, 
it has also a regular line of .steaml)oats and packets, 
besides some 200 .sailing craft engaged in the coasting 
trade. The river is usually closed from the middle 
of December to the middle of March, and at the 
breaking up of the ice in spring sometimes rises 29 
feet. The city is intersected by the sluggish and dirty 
Park K., which is spanned by 10 bridges. A covered 
toll bridge, 1,(XX) feet long, across the Connecticut 
R., coiniccts the city with East Hartford. The city 
is for the most part compactly built of brick, granite, 
and freestone — the public buildings and those of 
many private corporations being elegant and sub- 
stantial. The new State-house occupies a capacious 
building of white marble in the modern Gothic style, 
costing over .*3, 100,000, and standing conspicuously 
in the 'midst of the city, on a slight elevation, at the 
south side of Bushnell Park (a beautiful area of 46 
acres). "Wadsworth's Tower, on Talcott Mountain, 
to the N.W., affords one of the finest views in New 
England. Hartford is a healthy city, and its mean 
annual temperature is 50° Fahr. The city is divided 
into 8 wards, and is governed by a major and 16 
aldermen, elected biennially, and 32 councilmen 
elected annually. The water supply is from four 
reservoirs in West Hartford, with a capacity of 
1,208,4,50,.367 gallons. Hartford lias a paid fire depart- 
ment, anil seven steam fin -(•iii,^iiies. The pi-incipal 
business of the city is insurance. There are 9 fire in- 
surance comi)anies, 8 life insurance companies, and 
1 accident insurance company, 10 nat. banks, 11 other 
banks, and 4 savings banks. There arc also, exclu- 
sive of railroads, 73 mechanical and manuf. corpo- 
rations, though several of the larger ones have their 
works in adjacent towns. Some of them have a 
world-wide reputation, as the Colt Fire-arms Com- 
pany, with works occupying grounds of 123 acres. 
They also include carpet, linen, and silk works, and 
a manufactory of edgetools. The publication of 
books too is a considerable interest. A very import- 
ant branch of trade is the sale of leaf tobacco, which 
is the chief crop of the Connecticut R. valley. There 
are 3t; churches and 15 chapels of all denominations, 
includintr a line Jewish synagogue. Here, too, is the 
seat of the Roman Catholic bi.shop, and the head- 
quarters, in the U. S., of the Chinese educational 
commission. Beside the 17 public schools, there are

of Texas, and the hotels, the largest of which is the

ied manuf. The recent deepening of the bayou so 
as to make it navigable for vessels drawing 9 ft. of 
water has considerably increased the shipping trade,

ing-mills, factories for cars, wagons, and agricultural 
implements, sheet-iron and tin works, a laige flour

llii«r<i<oii, or N()KTH RivEK, one of the largest 
and noblest rivers of the U. States, and the princi- 
pal river of the State of New York, is formed by the 
confluence of two small streams which rise in the 
Adirondack Mts. in Essex co. About the middle of 
Warren co. the river is joined by another of nearly 
equal size, the Schroon, which also has its rise in 
Essex CO After receiving the Sacondaga R. 10 m. 
further S , the Hudson flows irregularly in an E. di- 
rectum to Sandy Hill, after which it keeps a very 
straight course almost due S. until it falls into New 
York Bay. At Troy it receives the Mohawk, whose 
volume of water is greater than its own, and at 
King.ston the Wallkill, but its other tributaries, 
though numerous, are unimportant. Its total length 
Is abt. 30(} m., and the length of its course from 
Sandy Hill 190 m. At Glen's Falls near Sandy Hill, 



it makes a precipitous descent of 50 ft., whence there 
are various rapids of different velocities until it 
reaches Troy. It is tidal nearly up to Troy, and the 
fall from Alljany, 6 m. below Troy, to the mouth of 
the river, a distance of 145 m., is only 5 ft. By means 
of a lock and dam it is navigable to Waterford, a 
short distance above Troy, but large steamers do 
not proceed further up than Hudson, 29 m. below 
Albany, and 116 from the mouth of the river. A short 
distance below Albany the navigation has been ob- 
structed by shifting sands, the point at which the 
difhculties are most formidable being the " over- 
slaugh " at Castleton, but extensive operations have 
been for some time carried on in order to effect a 
permanent remedy for the obstructions. The scenery 
of the river is for the most part varied and beautiful, 
generally picturesque, and in many places in the 
highest degree striking and magnificent. In the up- 
per part the views though not tame are a little mo- 
notonous, the gently sloping hills, with the variega- 
ted colors of wood and cultivated land and the oc- 
casional occurrence of a town or village, repeating 
one another without any marked feature to break 
their regularity. Below Troy, for a considerable dis- 
tance, the number of islands renders much care in 
navigation necessary. Thirty m. from Troy noble 
views begin to be obtained of theCatskill Mts., tow- 
ering up on the W. bank, the nearest eminence at 
the distance of abt. 7 m. Forty-six m. below Cats- 
kill is the large and flourishing city of Poughkeepsie, 
and 14 m. further down the prosperous city of New- 
burg, a short distance below which, at the favorite 
summer resort of Cornwall Landing, the river enters 
the Highlands, passing between a series of hills 
whose frequently precipitous sides rise often abru- 
tly from the water's edge. The views in this part of 
tne riverare of a character in some respects unparal- 
leled, and at several points they have an impressive- 
ness and surprising grandeur rarely equaled. The dis- 
tance through which the river traverses this mountain 
scenery is abt. 16 m., and abt. 10 m. after it is en 
tered, West Point is reached, a favorite landing-place 
of tourists, the seat of the U. States military acad- 
emy. After passing the pretty town of Peekskill the 
river widens into ilaverstraw Bay, at the extremity 
of which is the headland of Croton Point. Below is 
the wider expanse of Tappan Bay, upon which stands 
Tarrytown. At Piermont, where the bay ends, the 
range named the Palisades rise picturesquely from 
the water to the height of between 300 and 500 ft., 
extending along the W. bank for abt. 20 m., the 
left bauk'beiug level and dotted with hamlets and 
villas. At the mouth of the river on the W. bank 
are Hoboken and Jersey City, and on the E. bank 
New York city. By the Erie Canal the river is con- 
nected with Lake Erie, by theChamplain Canal with 
Lake Champlain, and by the Delaware Canal with 
the Delaware K.; and its commercial importance as 
a means of traffic is not excelled by that of any other 
river in the world. The H.R.RR. skirts the E. bank 
of the river from New York to Troy, whence it bends 
eastward on its way to Lake Champlain. The Hud- 
son has som(! valuable fisheries, the principal fish be- 
ing bass, shad, and sturgeon. The attemps to stock it 
with salmon have not been very successful. Though 
Verrazzani in 1524 proceeded up the river Hudson a 
short distance in a boat, the first to demonstrate its 
extent and importance was Henry Hudson, from 
whom it derives its name. He sailed above the mouth 
of the Mohawk in September, 1609.

— a city<$), the cap. of Columbia co., on the left bank 
of Hudson R., at the head of ship navigation, 114 
m. N. of New York city, and 28 m. E. of Albany by 
H.R.RR. It stands on the ridge of a picturesque ele- 
vation called Prospect Hill, which, after rising ab- 
ruptly 60 ft. from the river, slopes gradually to an 
elevation of 500 ft. The high river bank projects into 
the river in the form of a bold promontory, affording 
a delightful promenade, and having on either side 
a fine bay with depth of water sufficient for the larg- 
est ships. The wharves are situated at the foot of 
the promontory and along the margin of these bays. 
Works to supply the city with water have lately been 
constructed at a cost of $250,000. The principal build- 
ings are the court-house, constructed of marble and 
limestone and surmounted by a dome, the city hall 
and post-office, and the academy. The cityhas 3 pub- 
lic libraries, 3 nat. banks, 2 daily and 2 wkly papers. 
It at one time vied as a trading port with New York, 
and, although both its West India trade and its whale 
fishing have now been abandoned, it still carries on an 
important river trade, and has regular steam com- 
munication with New York and Albany. It also pos- 
sesses large iron smelting works, a stove foundry, a 
tannery, a flour mill, breweries, iron foundries, and 
factories for pianos, carriages, paper, car wheels, 
and steam fire engines. Hudson was settled in 1784, 
being then known as Claverack Landing. It became 
a city in 1785. Pop. 8,069.

Humboldt Kiver, No'., the longest stream 
of that State, rises in Elko co., and flows 384 m. in a 
generally S.W. course. Its waters are alkaline, being 
charged with soda. It is nowhere many yards in 
width, and is generally fordable. It finally ends in 
Ilumboldt Sink, "a marshy spot in a sandy plain," 
not really a lake except in high stages of the river. 
The river is chiefly remarkable as furnishing the only 
E. and W. valley through this region, while N. and S. 
valleys are numerous. The C.P.RR. follows its valley 
for many miles. The river bottoms average a mile in 
width ; outside of these the land is good, but needs 
irrigation. The Little Humboldt is its largest afliu- 
ent. Some 5 m. above Humboldt Lake are the "Big 
Meadows," with an area of 5,000 acres, furnishing 
great quantities of hay and some peat. The sink is 
3,920 ft. above the sea-level.

Huron L.ako, one of the five great lakes of 
N. America, lies between Lake Superior on the N.W., 
Lake Michigan on the N.W. and W., and Lakes Erie 
and Ontario on the S. and S.E. Its shape is so irreg- 
ular that it is difficult accurately to determine its 
exact dimensions. It lies between 43° 5' and 46° 15' 
N. lat., and between 79° 30' and 84° 50' W. Ion. Its 
length from N. to S. is 260 m., and along the coast 
on the S.W. shore, it is 360 m. It is 160 m. in breadth 
from E. to W. in its widest part ; but exclusive of 
the bay on the N.E., it is only 90, and its circumfer- 
ence 1,100 m. Its principal indentations are Saginaw 
Bay, extending into Michigan, and two others, one 
immediately N. of Manitou Islands, and the other 
S.E. of them. The latter called Georgian Bay, is abt. 
170 m. long by 70 broad, in its greatest length and 
breadth, and is not far from one-fourth the size of 
the whole lake. Manitou (or Great Spirit) Islands, 
extend from a peninsula in its S.E. part, through its 
N. part, and with Drummond's Island separate an- 
other sheet of water from the main lake, 80 m. long 
and 20 broad. The boundary between the U. States 
and Canada, passes along the middle of the main 



Huron 225 m. and between Lesser Manitou and Drum- 
mond's Islands, by what is called the middle pass- 
age, and curves round to the N. and W. 25 m. to the 
entrance of St. Mary's R. The elevation of the sur- 
face of Lake Huron above the surface of the ocean 
is 596 ft.; or less than that of Lake Superior by 45 
ft., or that of Lake Michigan by 4 ft. The greatest 
depth towards its W. shore, is at least, 1,000 ft., and 
its mean depth 900 ft., or abt. 300 ft. below the level 
of the Atlantic. The largest of the Manitou Islands, 
called Great Manitoulin, is 90 m. long and in its 
widest part, nearly 30 broad. The islands of Lake 
Huron are said to amount to 32,000. It receives the 
waters of Lake Superior by St. Mary's Strait or 
R., those of Lake Michigan by the Straits of Mich- 
ilimackinac ; and discharges its own waters by the 
river St. Clair. It receives the waters of Lake l^ipis- 
sing on the N. by the river Francis and of Lake Sim- 
coe on the E. by Severn R. Lake Huron Is subject 
to violent storms, but its navigation is not usually 
dangerous. Though very deep it is generally shallow 
near the shores, "it has some fine harbors, though 
there are no places of much importance on its borders. 

Huron River, 0., rises in Richland co., and 
flows through Huron and Erie cos., into Lake Erie 
at Huron. It is navigable, by a crooked channel 6 or 
7 m. from its mouth, and has a canal along its bor- 
ders to Milan. It affords good water-power. 

Huron RiTer, Mich., rises in Oakland co., and 
enters Lake Erie a few m. below the mouth of De- 
troit R. It is abt. 60 m. long and with its branches, 
affords extensive water-power.

Idaho (from the Indian E-dah-hoe, Gem on the 
Mountains), a N.W. territory, bounded N. by British 
Columbia, E. by Montana and Wyoming, S. by Utah 
and Nevada, and W. by Oregon and Washington. It 
is situated between lat. 42° and 49° N.,lon. 111° and 
117° 10' W., except that in the N.E. the Bitterroot 
range separates it from Montana and the Snake R. 
forms part of the W. boundary. The extreme length 
N. and S. on the W. boundary is 485 m. and along 
the Wyoming border 140 m., and the breadth varies 
from less than 50 m. on the N. to nearly 300 m. on 



theS.; area, 84,290; mean elevation, abt. 4,700 ft. 
The surface is very diversified ; the N. portion is 
largely mountainous, with several fine broad valleys. 
In the S. portion a lai'ge area within the great bend 
of the Snake R. is occupied by an immense plain of 
basalt. South of the Snake the country is an alterna- 
tion of broad valleys and narrow abrupt mountain 
ranges. The principal mountains are the Bitterroot 
and Salmon R. chains, with their spurs and subordi- 
nate ranges. They attain a height of from 8,000 to 
nearly 10,000 ft. The Snake R. plain lies S. of these 
mountains, extending E. and W. nearly across the 
territory. This is a field of basalt, seamed and cre- 
vassed, with little vegetation, and that consisting 
principally of Artemisia. The soil here is a shifting 
sand, and there is little surface water, as the streams 
sink and flow underneath. The principal river is the 
Snake, the south fork of the Columbia. It is a rapid 
stream with numerous falls, one of which, the Sho- 
shone,rivals Niagara in volume and height of descent, 
which far surpasses the latter in magnificent pie- 
turesqueuess of surrounding scenery. Several of the 
branches of the Snake, the Salmon, Clearwater, and 
Spokane, are large streams, but are not navigable, 
and are of value only for irrigation and mining pur- 
poses. — The climate, like that of other portions of 
the N.W., is characterized by great aridity of atmos- 
phere and slight rainfall. In the S. the aridity is 
such that large areas are almost desert ; but in the 
mountainous regions of the N. the rainfall is much 
greater, and agricultural operations can be carried on 
to some extent without irrigation. The N. part, be- 
ing principally mountainous, is covered with forests 
of conifers, chiefly species of pine, spruce, fir, and 
tamarack. In the open valleys the vegetation con- 
sists mainly of the various kinds of grasses known 
collectively as "bunch grass." A rough estimate 
gives as the area covered by forest 40,000 sq. m., 
by useful grasses 25,000 sq. m., and by Artemisia 21,- 
300 sq. m. The agricultural, grazing, and mining in- 
terests of Idaho are but commencing their develop- 
ment. In the valleys of the S. portion the Mormons 
are raising abundant crops of cereals, with the aid of 
irrigation. In the valleys of the lower Snake, the 
Boise, Clearwater, Salmon, and Spokane Rs., wheat, 
oats, rye, and other grains are cultivated to some 
extent. Large portions of the territory are well 
adapted for grazing, and this is now being tumed to 
account. The principal prod, for the year 1880 were 
274,750 lbs. of barley, 16,408 of corn, 462,236 of oats, 
and 540,589 of wheat. — The mineral wealth has not 
yet, owing to difficulty of transportation, been devel- 
oped to any great extent ; but it is known to be im- 
portant. Gold and silver are found, the former both 
in vein and in placer deposits. From 1863 to 1880 the 
gold and silver deposited at the mints and assay 
offices were gold $24,157,447; silver. S727,282. The yield 
for the year 1881 was gold $1,700,000; silver $1,300,- 
000. The principal vein deposits now being worked 
are in the Salmon R. and Owyhee Mts. Placers have 
been worked in nearly everv co. of the territory, 
and have paid well. During the years 1880 and 1881, 
many new and rich deposits have been discovered in 
the Wood R. district, in the Salmon R. mountains, 
and there has been a considerable influx of mining 
population. Copper, iron, lead, coal, plumbago, 
and quick silver are also found. There are also 
mountains of sulphur, productive salt springs, 
quarries of the finest marble and building stones,

lilinoiw, one of the central States, is bounded 
N. by Wis., E. by Lake Michigan and Ind., S. by the 
Ohio R., separating it- from Ky., and W. by the 
Slississippi R., separating it from Mo. and Iowa. It 
is situated between lat. 36° 59' and 42° 30' N., and 
Ion. 83° 35' and 91° 40' W.; area, 56,000 sq. m. The 
length from N. to S. is 378 m., the greatest breadth 
210 m. 111. is a great plain, with its highest section 
in the N., on Lake Michigan ; thence it impercepti- 
bly declines to the S.W., in which direction its prin- 
cipal rivers flow to the Mississippi. A small tract in 
the N.W., which includes the lead mines, is hilly 
and broken, and there are bluffs along the Missis- 
sippi, some of which rise 300 to 400 ft. A ridge ex- 
tends across the S. end of the State, constituting the 
fruit district of the region, called " Egypt," on ac- 
count of its never failing fertility. On this ridge or 
swell of clay land are grown all the varieties of ber- 
ries, grapes, plums, peaches, apples, and all kinds of 
vegetables in great profusion, which find prompt 
sale in Chicago and the northern cos., by reason of 
reaching market at early dates in the season. Ex- 
cepting along the rivers, and where thert- has been 
exten.sive tree planting, the greater part of the State 
consists of a vast level or slightly undulating tree- 
less prairies. To the eye the surface of 111. is as level 
as that of an ocean in calm. The soil is of great fer- 
tility, and much of it seemingly inexhaustible. Over 
these prairies for hundreds of miles the plough never 
touches stone, pebble, or even sand. A luxuriant 
native grass formerl3' sustained herds of buffalo, and 
from the still unbroken prairie surface are annually 
mown thousands of tons of the wild grass for hay. 
All the cereals, roots, fruits, grasses, and vegetables 
of the temperate, zone are grown in 111., and some of 
the semi-tropicai productions, as cotton and amber- 
cane. — The climate is marked by great extremes. The 
summers are very warm, the winters verj' cold. The 
summer heat is generally, however,temi)ered by fresh 
breezes, so that farm labor is uotthereby, interrupted. 
The mean temperature of the year in 40° lat. is abt. 54°, 
of the summer 77°, and of the winter 33i°. At Beloit 
the mean annual temperature is 47^°, and at Cairo, 
58^°, thus showing a marked difference between the 
N. and S. extremities of the St£.te. The climate is on 
the whole salubrious, except in the low and swampy 
bottom-lands, where chills and fever frequently pre- 
vail. — Coal is found in nearly all parts of the State ; 
it is bituminous, a small proportion being caunel. 
The beds vary from 3| to 8 ft. in thickness. The coal- 
measures are part of the general formation extend- 
ing from beyond ttie Mississippi R. in Mo., across 
111. and parts of Ind. and O., and into Ky. It is es- 
timated that three-fourths of the surface area of the 
State are underlain by beds of coal. The coal mined 
in the State during 1880 was 6,089,514 tons. Near 
Galena, in the N.W. part of the State, are lead mines 
which have been worked for half a century, and which 
at one time made Galena the most jirosperous city in 
the State. Salt springs are found in the S.E. cos. 
Stone suitable for building is found in various parts 
of the State. An inexhaustible field of limestone, 
called "Lemont mai'ble," is found near Chicago, 
and has been largely used in rebuilding that city. — 
In 1880 there were 26,174, .566 acres of improved, and 
8, 204, .503 of unimj)roved lands. The improved lands 
were under cultivation in 1880 as follows : wheat, 2,~ 
702,380 acres, Indian corn, 7,.592.152, oats. 1.703,843, 
meadows, 2,267,945, other field jjroducts, .567,890, in- 
closed ])asture, 4,242,713, orchards, 293,593, wood- 
land, 3,708,567. The great crops of 111. are corn, 
wheat, oats and hay, and much attention is also

The live stock had a value of $141,501,394, and 
comprised 1,067,220 horses, 124,527 mules, 709,308 
milch cows, oxen and other cattle, 1,222,947, 1,155,- 
232 sheep, and 3,202 swine. — The statistics of manuf . 
for 1882 gave as results 14,549 establishments, em- 
ploying 144,727 operatives, capital invested, $140,- 
652,066, wages paid during the year, $57,429,085, 
value of materials, $289,843,907, value of products, 
$414,864,673. The abundance of coal, the proximity 
to the Lake Superior iron and copper mines, the un- 
limited means of transportation, the supply of lum- 
ber, the cheapness of food, the superior water-power 
in various parts of the State, have all tended to 
make 111. a large and convenient seat of manuf. Its 
iron and steel establishments rank with the largest 
in the country. 111. ranks fourth in the Union as a 
manuf. State. — The State is now admirablj' supplied 
with railroads, their extent reaching 8,325 m. in 1882. 
They cross every co. in the State, indeed, they are so 
numerous and so interlaced that there are few, if 
any, localities more than 10 m. from a railroad, 
while a large proportion of the shipping points have 
the benefit of more than one route by which to ship 
and receive merchandise. In addition to the railroad 
traffic, there is much business done by steamboats 
at Cairo, East St. Louis, Alton, Quincy, Rock Island, 
and other points on the Ohio and Mississippi Rs., 
though transportation by river has declined much of 
late years. The Illinois and Michigan Canal is 93 
m. long, and connects Lake Michigan at Chicago 
with the Illinois R., at the head of navigation of that 
river. "This canal has cost $17,000,000, but is now too 
small for the service needed. The State has expended 
much money improving the navigation of the Illi- 
nois by 'locks and dams, and this improvement when 
completed, with the enlargement of the canal to the 
capacity of steamboat navigation, will be one of the 
most extensive works "of interior water communica- 
tion in the world, being over 400 m. long, and con- 
necting the waters of the Atlantic, through the St. 
Lawrence R. and the lakes, and through the Mis- 
sissippi R., with the Gulf of Mexico. The other rivers 
are the Kankakee, Des Plaines, Rock, Kaskaskia, 
Embarras, Little Wabash, Big Muddy, and Chicago. 
— The public school system is liberally su])ported. 
The permanent school fund yields abt. $60,000, to 
which the State adds $1,000,000 annu.ally, and this 
is distributed among the counties. In addition each 
school district levies such taxes as may be needed for 
its schools, and may borrow money to build school- 
houses. In 1880 the receipts of revenue for schools 
amounted to $6,142,340, the expenditure to $6,190,743. 
The number of children of the school age (6 to 21 
years) was 1,000,694, of these 693,334 were enrolled as 
attending the public schools, and 47,695 as attending 
private and parochial schools. The whole number of 
school districts in the State was 11,874; male teachers, 
8,973, female teachers, 12,737. The State has establish- 
ed two normal universities, at Normal, M'Lean co., 
and at Carbondale, Jackson co. There is an industrial 



university at Champaign, maintained and liberally en- 
dowed by the State. There are also several other uni- 
versities and colleges, including medical and theo- 
logical, in various parts of the State. The State main- 
tains 4 hospitals for the insane, at Jacksonville, El- 
gin, Anna, and Kankakee ; an institution for educat- 
ing the blind, and one for educating the deaf and 
dumb, both at Jacksonville, an asylum for imbecile 
children, an eye and ear infirmary, a home for sol- 
diers' orphans, and a correctional or reformatory 
school for boys. The annual expenditure for the 
maintenance of these charities is abt. $1,000,000. 
— The State is divided into 102 cos., viz.: Adams, 
Alexander, Bond, Boone, Brown, Bureau, Calhoun, 
Carroll, Cass, Champaign, Christian, Clark, Clay, 
Clinton, Coles, Cook, Crawford, Cumberland, De 
Kalb, De Witt, Douglas, Du Page, Edgar, Edwards,

had a pop. exceeding 10,000 : Chicago, 503,304, Peo- 
ria, 20,315, Quincy, "27,275, Springfield (the cap.), 
19,746, Bloomington, 17,184, Joliet, 16,145, Rockford,

bury, 11,446, Jacksonville, 10,927 ; Belleville, 10,682, 
East St. Louis, 10,054 ; and Freeport, 10,016. The 
legislative power is vested in a senate of 51 mem- 
bers and a house of representatives of 153 mem- 
bers. The sessions are biennial. The governor and 
other executive officers are elected for 4 years. There 
is an elective judiciary. The supreme court con- 
sists of seven judges, chosen for a term of 9 years. The 
circuit judges are elected for a term of 6 years. 
There is a county court for each co. —The State is 
free from all debts. Taxation is imposed by a rate 
levied on all real and personal property, according 
to a previous valuation, made by local assessors, re- 
vised by county boards, and again revised and equal- 
ized by a State board. The total assessment or val- 
uation of the property in the State for taxation aver- 
ages not more than one-fourth of the value at which 
the property can be sold. The constitution limits the 
rate of taxation (except to pay debts) by cos., to 75 
cents on each $100 of the official valuation. The 
same valuation governs all taxation, the maxium 
rate being fixed by law. The valuation of all the 
priipertv in the State for taxable purposes for the 
vear 1880 was $783,616,394.— Father Marquette, a 
French Jesuit, visited the Illinois Indians in 1673. 
Mission stations were established at Kaskaska and 
Peoria in 1673. All the French possessions E. of the 
Mississippi R., were ceded to Great Britain m 1<63, 
and 111. then became a possession of the colony of 
Va In 1809 it was erected into a Territory ; and 
in Dec , 1818, was admitted into the Union as a 
State. On its admission to the Union a constitution 
providing a form of government was adopted ; in 
1848 this was .superceded by another, and this again 
was set aside in 1870 by the third and pre^sent con- 
stitution. Pop. 1810, 12.382 ; in 183<), 157 445 ; m 840,

shore of one of these basins. Its principal affluents 
are the Fox, Spoon, Crooked Creek, the Mackinaw, 
Sangamon, and Vermilion. Above tlie mouth of the 
Vermilion, in La Salle co., it is obstructed by rapids, 
and a canal has been built from this point to Chicago, 
a distance of 96 m., which affords uninterrupted water 
communication between the lakes and the Mississippi.

Indiana, one of the central States, is bounded 
N. by Lake Michigan and the State of Mich, (the 
boundar\ line being 10 in. N. of the S. extreme of the 
lake), E. by Ohio, S. by the Ohio R., which separates it 
from Ky., W. by the Wabash R., and then by a due 
N. line from the town of Viucenues, separating it 
from 111. It is situated bet. lat. 37° 47' and 41° 46' N. 
au<l Ion. 84° 49' and 88° 2' W. The State is iu the 
form of a parallelogram, 276 m. long and 140 m.

wide; area, 35,910 sq. m. Most of the State is level 
or gently rolling, except along the Ohio, where the 
plain has been deeply grooved by the affluent 
streams into hills and valleys. There are no eleva- 
tions that could properly be termed mountains. 
From careful surveys, the mean altitude of the State 
is estimated at 735 feet above sea-level. It is well 
watered by numerous streams and rivers, but, with 
the exception of the Ohio and Wabash, few of them are 
navigable. The Wabash is the largest river which 
has its course mainly within the State ; and, together 
with its branches, it drains three-fourths of the en- 
tire surface. The Ohio forms the entire S. boundary 
of the State. The other principal rivers of Ind. are 
the White (the principal tributary of the Wabash), 
the Maumee, and the upper St. Joseph. — A part of the 
great coal-field of 111. extends into Ind., covering an 
area of over 7,000 sq. m. in the W. and S.W. parts, 
furaishingT workable seams, at a depth of 50 to 220 
ft., and averaging 80 ft. below the surface; the 
quality is from fair to good; an area of 600 sq. m. in 
this field yields a superior "block" of splint coal, 
which is used in blast furnaces as it comes from the 
mine, without coking, and is well adapted for the 
preparation of Bessemer steel. The quantity of coal 
mined in 1880 was 1,449,496 tons, valued at $2,143,093. 
Near Leavenworth, in the S. part of the State, there 
is a remarkable calcareous cavern, the Wyandotte 
Cave. One of its chambers is 350 feet long and 245 in 
height. It abounds with stalactites and stalagmites 
of great variety and size. Inexhaustible beds of ex- 
cellent limestone, fire clay, potter's clay, kaolin, and 
lime, as well as paving and building stone, are 
found in the S.E. parts of the State. — Along all the 
rivers, except the Ohio, there are rich alluvial de- 
posits from 2 to 4 ft. deep. Large crops of corn have 
been produced for 50 years in succession. Portions 
of the Ohio Valley are hilly and sterile, but Ind. has 
an unusually small percentage of waste land. The 
climate is somewhat milder than that of the 
same latitudes on the Atlantic coast. The winters 
are often very cold but of short duration, and heavy 
snows rarely cover the ground. The summers are 
hot, and on the whole salubrious. The difference in 
temperature between the N. and 8. portions of the 
State is considerable. At Logansport the mean an- 
nual temperature is nearly 53°; "the maximum on 
the warmest day 102°, and the minimum on the 
coldest — 10°. — Agriculture Is the chief bianch of 
industry, the climate and soil being suited to the 
growth of cereals, fruits, and grasses. The principal 
products for the year 1880 are shown in the follow- 
ing table :

and other cattle, 764,166, sheep, 1,029,570, and 2,186,- 
000 swine; total value, $81,437,549.— The growth 
of manuf. interests have been very marked dur- 
ing the last decade. In 1880 there were in Ind. 
11,198 manuf. establishments, employing 69,508 
hands, capital invested, .$65,748,962, wages paid 
during the year, $21,960,888, value of materials, 
$100,262,917; value of products, $148,006,411. A few 
of the leading industries were lumber, flour, woolen 
goods, agricultural implements, iron, machinery, fur- 
niture, cars (freight and passenger), and boots and 
shoes. — Ind. is interlaced with a complete net-work 
of railroads, traversing nearly every count}'. In 
1882 there were 56 lines (or branches) of railroads, 
having in the States 4,764 m. of road in operation. 
There are 2 canals in the State. The Wabash and 
Erie, from Evansville to Toledo, a part of the way by 
slack water navigation of the Wabash and Maumee, is 
467 m. in length, 379 of which are in Ind. It is row im- 
used beyond Lafayette. The White Water Canal is 
75 m. in length, from Lawrenceburg on the Ohio to 
Hagerstowm It is of more service than the other. 
— A general system of free instruction extends 
from "the primary school to the State univer- 
sity, under the direction of a State superintendent 
and a State board of education. The school fund 
amounts to $8,936,022. In 1880 the number of .«;chool- 
houses was 9,380 (411 built during the year); youth 
of school age, 708,801; enrolled in public schools, 
503,892; average daily attendance, 312,143; male and 
female teachers in public schools, 13,590. The State 
university at Bloomington is open to pupils of both 
sexes. Ithas departments of law, medicine, military 
science and civil engineering, in addition to the regu- 
lar collegiate course. Purdue university received 
the landscript granted by congress for an agricultu- 
ral college. This fund amounts to .$340,000,' and the 
entire property of the institution is valued at $510,- 
000. Ind. has 6 universities so named, 16 colleges, 1 
school of theology, 3 schools of law, 2 medical and 
2 normal schools. There are 2 state prisons, the 
northern at Michigan City the southern at Jeflferson- 
ville, each having accommodations for about 400 
prisoners. The State institute for the blind, the 
asylum for the insane, the institute for the deaf 
and dumb, and the reformatory institution for 
women and girls are at Indianapolis. There is also 
a soldiers' home at Knightsville and a house of refuge 
at Plainfield. All the above institutions are support- 
ed by the State.— The State is divided into 92 cos., 
viz.: Adams, Allen, Bartholomew, Benton.Blackford, 
Boone, Brown, Carroll, Cass, Clarke, Clay, Clinton,

Feb. 10, 1S51. Tlic general ahsoiiibly eousists of a 
senate of 5() members eleeted for 4 years, and a 
house of representatives of 100 members elected for 
2 years. The lefjishxtive sessions are biennial. The 
goVernor (salary $8,000), is elected for 4 years. 
The State election is held on the second Tuesday of 
October in even years. The judicial i)0\ver is vested in 
a sujireme, a circuit, and a superior court. Ind. sends 
13 representatives to the national eonfrress, and has 
therefore 15 electoral votes. The State debt, on Oc- 
tober 30, 188'i, amounted to $4,876,608. The receipts 
into the State treasury during the preceding year 
were ?:i,808,494.22, and the disbursements $3,110,- 
424.70. The total valuation of real and jjcrsoual 
property, in 1881, was ¥;805,202,792.— The Iiid. terri- 
tory, which was originally the jjroperty of the Miami 
confederacy of Indiana, "was claimed by France on 
account of La Salle's discovery of the Mississippi, 
in 1682. As early as 1702 a mission was established 
at Vineennes. In 176:3 the territory was ceded to the 
British. The early settlers suffered greatly from the 
Indians, (ien. Harrison broke the power of the sav- 
ages by defeating Tecumseh at the battle of Tippe- 
canoe, Nov. 7, 1811. The State was admitted into 
the Union Dec. 11, 1816. In 1881 the legislature 
passed a law jjrohibiting the manufacture and sale 
of intoxicating liquors. Pop. in 1800, 5,(>41; in 1820,

liidtaiisipoliM, IikL, cap. of the State and of 
Marion co., is situated at the confluence of Fall 
Creek and White R., 824 m. W. of New York by 
rail, and 194 m. S.E. Chicago. The streets and 
avenues are 90 feet wide except Washington, the 
main street, which is 120. The city now extends 
4 m. in length and 3 in width. It is built u])on a 
level i)lain and surrounded by a fertile country. In 
1847 the flr.st railway entered the city. Within a few 
years thereafter other lines were constructed, until 
now 13 main lines converge in the Union depot. 
About 100 passenger trains,connected with every part 
of the country, enter and depart daily. The numer- 
ous tracts l)cing on a level with the surface of the 
streets, the obstruction and danger at the numerous 
crossings became very great on account of the in- 
crease; of railway traffic, so that in 1877 a loop line, 
called the " Belt," had to be made passing round 
the city, to connect the various railroads. By means 
of it the " through freiirht cars " are conveyed past 
the city without lilocking the traffic. Indianapolis 
is in the centre of the swinc-produeing region, and 
pork-packiug is one of the chief industries of the 



city. The number packed in 1880 was 677,809. It is 
also largely engaged in the grain trade. The rail- 
ways have been of greatest service to Indianapolis, 
compensating for its want of water transit. The 
manuf. and mercantile interests, which are large 
and increasing, are the natural result of the city's 
extensive railroad connections. A system of graded 
free schools is maintained all the vear. The city 
school property is yalued at iftl, 0411000. In 1871 a 
public library was established, and is supj)orted by 
taxation, which now contains 36,461 volumes, and 
is rapidly increasing. The masonic temple, odd- 
fellows hiill, po.st-office, U.S. arsenal, and chamber 
of commerce are handsome buildings. The Marion 
county court-house, standing on a public square in 
the heart of the city, was completed in 1877 at a 
cost of $1,411,524. The exterior is of Indiana lime- 
atone, the interior of iron and marble, with frescoed 
walls and ceilings. Its dimensions are 150 by 286 
ft., and 240 ft. to the top of the dome. The princi- 
pal benevolent institutions of the State, viz., the 
institution for the education of the blind, that for 
the deaf and dumb, and the hospital for the insane 
are located here ; they are handsome and commodious 
buildings, the last having accommodation for 1,313 
patients. The State reformatory for women and 
girls, where all female offenders are imprisoned, 
adjoins the city. The institution is under the man- 
agement of a board of control, composed of women 
chosen by the governor of the State. In 1877 the 
State began the erection of a new State house, to be 
completed in 1888, at a cost of $2,000,000. This will 
be one of the most imposing capitol buildings in the 
United States. The assessed value of property in 
1880 was $50,254,934. Indianapolis had its name given 
by act of the Legislature on Jan. 6, 1821, it was in- 
corporated in 1836, and received a city charter in 1847.

of G., W.T.cfcP.RR.(completed to Cuero,66 m.) Its har- 
bor is large and commodious ; it has steamers thrice a 
week from New Orleans, and two lines of sailing 
vessels ply regularly to New York, and there are 
many other domestic ports with which it has a trade. 
About ten vessels bring lumber from Florida and 
Louisiana. Cattle, wool, hides, cotton, &c. are ex- 
tensively shipped from this point. The town has a 
bank, and several large importing and wholesale es- 



tablishments. On Sept. 15, 1875, a severe storm, last- 
ing five. days, visited the coast from Galveston to In- 
dianola, causing the waters to rise and flood the more 
exposed places, sweeping away several small villages, 
with great loss of life. Indianola was submerged, and 
except the larger business houses was entirely swept 
away. Pop. in 1870, 2,106; in 1880, 931..

Intlian Xerrltory, a southern central 
tract of land, which, by "act of congress passed 
June 4, 18.34, has been set apart as a permanent 
residence for the Indian tribes which have been or 
may be removed from the States or Territories of the 
Union. It is bounded N. by Colorado and Kansas, 
E. by Missouri and Arkansas, S. by Texas, and W. 
by Texas and New Mexico. It is situated between 
lat. 33° 35' and 37° N. and Ion. 94° 20' and 103° W. 
The greatest length from E. to W. is 465 m., the 
greatest breadth 285 m. Estimated area, 69,000 sq. 
m. The E. portion is fertile and well watered, hav- 
ing an annual rainfall of 40 to 50 inches, and a mean 
annual temperature of about 60°. The surface is 
mainly rolling prairie, with broad stretches of rich 
land along the streams, and an abundance of tim- 
ber. This section is separated from the W. part, 
which presents a different aspect, by a broad belt of 
forest, known as the " Cross Timbers," which ex- 
tends nearly across the Territory in a N. and S. 
direction. Its breadth ranges from 40 to 60 m. 
West of this singular strip of forest the country as- 
sumes the appearance of the " Great Plains,"— that 
long incline which stretches eastward from the base 
of the Rocky Mountains. The surface is a monot- 
onous, rolling, treeless expanse. The valleys are 
shallow, and the dividing ridges are broad and

slightly marked. The climate is comparatively dry, 
the average annual rainfall beingbutaO to 25 inches; 
and irrigation is needed for the guceessful cultiva- 
tion of most cro[>s. Tiinlicr is found only in the 
river valleys, on the faces of bluffs and among the 
hills. The generally level surface of prairies and 
plains is broken in the S. and S. E. parts of the Ter- 
ritory by ranges and grou])S of hills, which rise 
from a few hundred to 1,500 ft. above the surround- 
ing country. These hills, known as the San Bois 
IIuls, Shawnee Hills, "Wichita Mountains, etc., form 
a part of the Ozark Mountains. The principal rivers 
are the Arkansas with its branches, the Neosho, the 
Salt and Red Forks, and the Canadian, with its 
North Fork, and, in the S. part of the Territory, the 
Red R., wliich forms the boundary with Texas, and 
its Ijrauch, the Washita. All these are of little or no 
importance as regards navigation. The E. part of 
the Territory is well watered, but the W. part, ex- 
cept at times of flood, in late Pi>ring and early sum- 
mer, has few flowing streams. — Tlie Territory con- 
tains many reservations, or defined porlions of land 
Bet apart and occupied by single tribes, or by several 
tribes gathered into one. At each of these reserva- 
tions is an agent, appointee by the president and 
conlirmcd by the senate, who represents the U. 
States in a general supervision of the interests of the 
several tribes. Tiie report of the commissioner of 
Indian affairs for the year 1880 shows the existence 
of eight agencies in the Territory. These are : 
Cheyenne and Arapaho agency, including the tribes 
bearing these names ; pop. 5,496, engaged in agri- 
culture 527, children in school 208. Kiowa, Coman- 
che and Wichita agency, including the Kiowa, 
Comanche, Wichita, Apache, Waco, Towaconie, 
Keeehie, Caddo and Delaware tribes ; pop. 4,117, en- 
gaged in agriculture 750, children in school 229. 
Osage agency, including the Osage, Kaw and 
Quapiw tribes; po]). 2,645, engaged in agriculture 
600, childreu in school 220. The Pawnee agency ; 
pop. 1,440, engaged in agriculture 200, childreu in 
school 200. The Ponca agency, including the 
Ponca (in part) and Nez Perce tribes ; pop. 900, en- 
gaged in agriculture 50, children in school 75. The 
Quapaw agency, including the Seneca, Shawnee, 
Wyandott, confederated Peoria and Miami, Qiuij)aw, 
Ottawa, Modoc, Stray Black Bob and Pottawatomie; 
pop. 1,111, eni'aged in agriculture 126, children in 
school 243. The Sac and Fox agency, including the 
Absentee Shawnee, Sac and Fox of the Mississippi, 
Mexican Kickapoo, Citizen Pottawatomie, Moko- 
hoko band of Sac and Fox tribes ; pop. 1 ,933, en- 

faged in agriculture 1,029, children in school 125. 
'he Union agency, including the Cherokee, Choc- 
taw, Creek, Chickasaw and Seminole tribes, known 
as civilized Indians; pop. 60,.560. All these five 
tribes wear citizens' dress, as do some in all the 
other reservations.— The tribes included in the eiglit 
agencies have in their reservations 31,10.5,920 acres 
of land, of which 10,24(),405 are suitable for cultiva- 
tion, leaving unoccupied and unappropriated within 
the limits or different treaty reservations 9,991,169 
acres. The five civilized tribes had under cultiva- 
tiou in 1880 273,000 acres. They raised 565,400 bush. 
of wheat, 2,015,000 of com, 2()b,.500 of oats and bar- 
ley, 336,700 of vegetables, cut 176,.500 tons of hay. 
They owned 45,500 horses, 5,.500 mules, 272,000 cat- 
tle, 190,(K)0 swine, 32,400 sheep, and raised 10,.55() 
bales of cotton. The other tribes iu this territory 
had under cultivation 16,931 acres; raised 5,840 
bush, of wheat, 90,774 of corn, and 10.441 of vegeta- 
bles. They owned 19,092 horses and 12,684 cattle.— 
Experience shows that Indian children areas bright 
and teachable as average white children of the same 
ages, and while the progress in the work of civiliz- 
mg adult Indians without any educational advan- 
tages is a slow process, the progress of youth 



trained iu the schools is of the most hopeful charac- 
ter. Of the children in these five tribes, 6,250 males 
were in school in 1880, females not reported. 
Amount of tribal funds expended for their educa- 
tion, $156,356 during the year. The total pop. of the 
ei^ht agencies in 1880 was 78,202.

along the lowaK. Isolated " mounds" in the lead 
region attain a height of nearly 500 feet. The bot- 
tom lands along the rivers are heavily timbered 
with elm, blai'k-walnut, white and burr oak, poplar, 
ash, maple, hickory, locust, sycamore, linden, cot- 
tonwood, etc. About 8,552,880 acres are in timbei-, 
giving one acre of woodland to ten acres of prairie. 
Trees grow with great rai)idity when planted on the 
prairies, and there is said to be more wood in the 
State now than when it was first settled. The Mis- 
sissipiii R. winds along the E. border for 450 m., and 
the Alissouri along the W. border for two-thirds the 
breadth of the State. The i)rincipal river flowing 
within the State is the Des Moines, which rises in a 
group of lakes near the border of Minnesota and 
runs in a S. E. direction for 450 m., forming the S. 
boundary of Iowa for 25 m. It is navigable for about 
half its length. The Iowa R., 300 m. long, is naviga- 
ble for 80 m. Its main branch is the Cedar R. There 
are many beautiful lakes in the N. counties. — It is 
estimated that about 7,000 sq. m. are underlaid 
by the coal-measures. Within this area coal beds 
of workable thickness and quality have been found 
at Fort Dodge, Moingona, Des Moines and Oska- 
loosa, where they are being extensive!}' worked, 
the product for 1880 being 1,442,333 tons, valued at 
$2,273,1.55. The coal is bituminous, no anthracite 
having been found in the State. The N. E. part of 
Iowa is included within the great lead region of the 
Upper Mississipj)!, and, although the palmy days of 
the mines of that region are over, the pi'oduct is yet 
very important.— The climate resembles in its essen- 
tial fcatuies that of the rest of the prairie States, ex- 
cepting tiiul towards the W. the aridity of the atmos- 
phere and the decreased rainfall characteristic of the 
great plains begin to be perceptible. The annual 
rainfall ranges from 24 to 44 inches, with an average 
of about 36 inches. The mean aiunial temperature 
ranges from 42° to 52% the summer mean from 66° 
to 79°, and the winter mean from 14° to 27°, showing 
a difference between the summer and winter tem- 
peratures of 52°. The highest single observed tem- 
peratures have been 95° to 105°, and the lowest 18° 
to 33° below zero, S.E. portion has the mildest 
and most equable temperature, as well as the 
greatest rainfall. Northward and westward the 
temperature becomes lower and extremes greater. — 
The soil is extremely fertile, whether drift, bluff or 
alluvial. The drift, whose name explains its origin 
covers the greater part of the State. It is a dark 
loam, one to two feet in depth, and of almost inex- 
haustible fertility. The bluff soil or loess occupies 
the country bordering upon the valley of the Mis- 
souri. It is supposed to be a suf)aerial deposit, 
brought by the i)revalent westeriy winds from the 
plains of Nebraska and Dakota, and deposited here 
near the borders of the humid region. It has a 
great depth, reaching 200 feet in some instances, 
and is everywhere extremely rich.— The alluvial 
soil, found in the valleys and bottom lands, is the 
ae.i)osit of the streams, and varies in composition 
wih the country which the streams have traversed 
above. Much of it on the Missouri and its branches 



is composed of loess, while that on the Mississippi 
is mainly altered drift deposits. The agricultural 
interest is by far the largest and most important of 
the State. In the i>roduction of corn and barley it 
ranks first, and of wheat fifth, among the States of 
the Union. The principal products for the year 1880 
were as follows :

Stock raising is an important, lucrative and grow- 
ing business. The fertile prairies, covered with the 
most nutritious grasses and watered with clear and 
never-failing streams, afford a range of i)asturage 
unsurpassed in excellence or extent. The number 
of farm animals in 1880 were : 809,.536 horses, 45,.594 
mules, 782,460 milch cows, 1,411,512 oxen and other 
cattle, 463,488 sheep, and 2,778,400 hogs— total value 
$123,316,670. The average value of cleared farming 
land in the State in 1880 was |!27.30 per acre ; of timber 
land, .$39.36. The increased value of the latter is due 
to the scarcity of forests. The average monthly wages 
paid to agricultural laborers during the same year 
was $23.26 ; average daily wages on transient em- 
ployment, $2.01.— In 1880 there were 6,921 manu- 
facturing establishments, employing 28,372 hands ; 
capital invested, $43, ,987,886 ; wages paid during the 
year, $9,725,962 ; value of materials, .§48,702,311 ; 
value of products, $71,045,926. The principal indus- 
tries were agricultural implements, brick and tile, 
flour and grist mill products, lumber, butter and 
cheese in factories, slaughtering and packing. — 
For means of communication and transportation 
Iowa is dependent almost entirely upon its rail- 
roads audits two bounding rivers. It has no canals, 
if we except the short one around the D( s Moines 
rapids. In 1880 there were 45 railroads, working 
4,779 miles of track, with a total capital stock of 
.S(30.(XIO,000, and a funded debt of $44,400,000. The 
total amount invested in railroads exceeded $100,- 
000,000. The total gross earning of the companies 
from passensrers, freight and mails were, $5,218,000, 
of which $1,415,000, or 27 per cent., were net earn- 
ings. This is but 2 3-10 percent, on the capital 
stock. — Iowa, in her educational system, ranks as 
one of the best in the Union. She has a permanent 
school fund yielding an annua! iucomeof 8per cent., 
which is applied to the education of her youth. In 
addition, district and county school taxes are levied. 
The State supports one university, located at Iowa 
City, and a school of agriculture and the mechanical 
arts, located near Ames, in Story co., for both sexes 
The State university comprises academical, normal, 
medical and law departments. The annual expendi- 
tures for public-school purposes is upwara of 
•S^),000.000. The number of teachers employed in 
1880 was 21,598, school children 586,-556. There are 
11,037 school-houses, valued at $9,227,743. The

cap.), Dubuque, Davenport, Burlington, Council 
Bluffs, Keokuk, Cedar Rapids, Clinton, Ottumwa 
and Muscatine. — The legislative authority is vested 
in a senate of 50 members, elected for four years, 
and a house of representatives of 100 members, 
elected for two years. There are biennial sessions. 
The governor (salary $3,000) and most of the State 
oflaeers are chosen for two years. The supreme 
court consists of four judges (salary $4,000), chosen 
by popular election for a term of six years. Iowa 
sends 11 representatives to the national congress, 
and has 13 electoral votes. — The total bonded debt 
of the State in 1882 was $372,935. The receipts into 
the State treasury during the vear 1881 amounted to 
$2,514,262, and the disbursements to $2,409,897. The 
total valuation of taxable property in 1880 was $397,- 
522,764 (real estate, $296,254,342, personal property 
$101,268,422).— Until 1883 there were no white men 
but Indian traders and hunters residing within the 
limits of the great State which 47 years later con- 
tained over 1,600,000 souls. This section was first a 
part of Michigan, and then of Wisconsin territory. 
The separate territoiy of Iowa was organized June 
12, 1838. Iowa was admitted into the Union, as the 
29th State, Dec. 28, 1846. The present constitution 
was ratified August 3, 1857. Capital punishment was 
abolished in 1872.— Pop. in 1840, 43,112; in 1850, 192,

Ridge abt. 15 m. N.E. the Peaks of Otter, it resumes 
its S.E. course to Lynchburg, near which town it

ation until it reaches Richmond, where it turns nearly 
S. It is here obstructed by rapids, and embraces a 
number of small islands. Near the S.E. extremity of 
Henrico co., it again takes a S.E. course, after some 
tortuous deviations, and flnallj' flows into the S. part 
of Chesapeake Bay, through a broad estuary, at the 
mouth of which are Ham])ton Roads. Willoughby

Jersey City, iV. J., cap. of Hudson co., on 
the right or VV. bank of the Hudson R., at its en- 
trance in New Yorlv Bay, and opposite the S. portion 
of New York, with whicli it is connected by 5 ferries. 
It is laid out irregularly, owing to its being an aggre- 
gation of three formerly distinct municipalities. 
Many of the streets are broad and well paved, and 
the city is provided with efficient gas, water, and 
sewerage systems. It has few striking buildings, the 
most prominent structures being the immense grain 
elevators near the river, 3 hospitals, an orphans' 
home, and the public school buildings, 21 in number. 
The public schools are supported by State and city 
taxes, and administered by a board of education. 
The trade of the city is very considerable ; but, as 
it is embraced in the New York customs district, sep- 
arate returns are not made. The fact that it is a ter- 
minus for 3 lines of ocean steamers, 5 trunk lines of 
railroads, 7 lesser railroads, and the Morris Canal, 
greatly facilitates the transport of coal, iron, &c., 
and materially fosters its industries. Jersey City has 
iron foundries, iron, steel, and zinc works, boiler 
yards, machine shops, railway plant manuf., tobacco 
factories, breweries, and other establishments which 
turn out watches, glass, crucibles, sugar, soap, can- 
dles, and a large variety of hardware and other ar- 
ticles. The extensive abattoirs at Long Dock are 
noteworthy for their excellent management. The 
" City of Jersey " was iucorjiorated in"l829 ; but in 
1851 it received another charter, under its present 
name. Its very rapid growth has been largely owing 
to its absorption of the tps. and cities of Van Voorst in 
1851, Hudson and Bergen in 1870, and Greenville in 
1872. The pop. in 1850 was 6,856 ; in 1870, 82,546 ; in 
1880, 120,722, making it the 17th city in point of pop. 
in the U. States.

Kanii»a!i», a W. State bounded N. by Neb., E. by 
Mo., S. by the Ind.T., and W. by Col. It is situated 
between lat. 37° and 40° N. and ion. 94° 40' and 102 
W. It has the form of a rectangular parallelogram, 
410 m. long from E. to W. and 210 m. wide from N. 
to S.; area, 81,700 sq. ni. — Kansas is an undulating 
plain, gently sloping from W. to E. at an average of 
nearly 7 ft. per mile. The mouth of the Kansas R. at 
the E. line of the State, is 750 ft. above the sea-level; 
the average altitude of the W. boundary is abt. 3,500 
ft. The broad prairie surface is diversified by an end- 
less succession of valleys and woodlands. The great 
central valley is traversed by the Kansas or Kaw R. 
which, inclusive of tbe Smokyhill branch, extends 
the entire lengtb of the State. Lateral valleys on the 
N. are formed by tlie Saline, Solomon, Republican, 
and Blue Rs., and other smaller .streams. Another 
broad vallej' is formed in the S. half of the State by 
the Arkansas R. witli lateral valleys on the N. trav- 
ersed by the Walnut, Little Arkansas, Pawnee Fork, 
and other streams. The S.E. portion contains the 
important Neosho valley, and the smaller valleys of 
the Osage and Verdigris. In the extreme S.W. and 
along the S. boundary are the valley of the Cimarron, 
and a network of tbe S. tributaries of the Arkansas. 
Numerous small affluents of the Missouri enrich and 
diversify tbe N.E. quarter of the State. The streams 
of Kansas are usually fed by perennial springs, and as 
a rule, the E. and middle portions of the State are 
well watered. The W\ pai-t is more elevated, and 
water is less abundant. — The surface presents three 
distinct geological sections. The E. portion of the 
State belongs to the carboniferous system, in wliich 
are found inexhaustible beds of valuable lutuminous 
coal, often at shallow depths or cropping out on the 
surface. It is mined in 24 cos., the product for the 
year 1880 being 763,297 tons valued at $1,497,268. 
The central portion belongs to the triassic forma- 
tion, with magnesian limestone, ferruginous sand- 
stone, and gypsum as the representative rocks. 
The W. portion of the State belongs to the cre- 
taceous formation, in which chalks and a species of 
native (juicklime are very prominent in the rivef 
bluffs. Lead mines are extensively worked in the S.E. 
portion of the State, and prosperous towns and cities 
are growing up in connection with these mines. la 
the central region, salt is produced from wells, and 
appears in occasional marshes. The salt of the S.W. 
is found in beds and dry incrustations, varying in 
thickness from a few inches to 2 ft. The salts of 
Kansas are remarkably free from lime and other im- 
purities. The lignite found near the Colorado line 
makes a valuable domestic fuel. — The climate of 
Kansas is exceptionally salubrious. Extremes of 
heat and cold occur, as in all open prairie countries, 
but as a rule the winters are dry and mild, while the 
summer heats are tempered by the perpetual prairie 
breezes. The summer nights are invariably cool and re- 
freshing. The mean annual tempeiature at Fort Riley 
for 23 years has been 53°. The average annual rain- 
fall at tlie city of LawTeuce for six years (1875-1880), 
was ;{2.()S inches. — The soil of the upland prairies is 
generally a deep rich clay loam, of a dark color. The 
bottom lands near the streams are a black sandy 
loam ; and the intermediate lands, or "second bot- 
toms," .show a rich and deep black loam, containing 
very little sand. These soils are all easily cultivated, 
free from stones, and exceedingly jiroductive. There 
are exceptional spots on the ui)laii(l prairies compos- 
ed of stiff clay, not as easily cultivated, but very 
productive when properly managed and enriched.

Timber is abundant along the streams in the eastern 
section of the State, but is less plentiful in the cen- 
tral portion, and very scarce in some pai-ts of the 
west. The varieties of timber embrace oak, elm, 
black walnut, cottonwood, mulberry, box, elder, 
willow, hickory, sycamore, white ash, and other 
hard and soft woods. The bright climate and pure 
atmosphere are admirably adapted to the growth of 
the apple, pear, peach, plum, grape, and cherry. The 
smaller fruits also, with scarce, an exception, flour- 
ish finely. Trees never sufEer from sodden or water- 
soaked roots, and very seldom from the winter's 
cold, when reasonable judgment and care have been 
exercised in selecting and managing the grounds. 
The number of bearing trees in the State in 1883 has 
been estimated abt. as follows : — 2,500,000 apple, 
100,000 pear, 8,000,000 peach, 200,000 plum,and 1,000,- 
000 cherry trees. The planting of trees is still on the 
increase, and the older orchards are very profitable. 
The principal agricultural prod, for the year 1880 were 
as follows: — Indian corn, 101,420,718 bush.; winter 
wheat, 23,507,223; spring wheat, 1,772,661; rye, 676,- 
507; oats, 11,482,796; barley, 287,057; buckwheat, 43,- 
455 ; Irish potatoes, 4,919,227 ; sweet potatoes, 391,- 
196 ; castor beans, 558,974 ; flax seed, 1,245,279 ; sorg- 
hum syrup, 3,787,585 gallons; cotton, 142,517 lbs.; 
hemp, 635,872 lbs. ; millet and Hungarian hay, 629,084 
tons; Timothy hay, 79,634 tons ; hay from wild or na- 
tive grasses, 798,707 tons ; clover pasture, 5,927 acres ; 
blue grass pasture, 38,259 acres; native grass pas- 
ture, 901,125 acres ; produce of market gardens to 
the value of 1449,797. — The wide prairies,"with their 
nutritious grasses for hay and grazing and their 
never-failing springs of pure water, make the State 
a very paradise to the herdsman and stock-raiser. 
The following are the statistics for 1880 : — horses, 
367,589 ; mules and asses, 58,303 ; milch cows, 366,- 
640 ; other horned cattle, 748,672 ; sheep, 426,492 ; 
swine, 1,281,630 ; value of farm animals, $.55,116,383 
value of poultry and eggs sold, $531,550 ; wool (clip 
of 1879), 1,194,453 lbs. ;'honey 370,398 lbs.; wax 10,949 
lbs. The great herds of buffalo which formerly over- 
ran the plains have disappeared, the elk is gone, and 
deer and other game are less plentiful than formerly. 
There remain, however, the rabbit, hare, turkey, 
prairie hen, quail, and the usual variety of migratory 
water-fowl, to gratify the sportsman. The numerous 
streams are well supplied with fish of choice varie- 
ties and of unusually large size. — The numerous 
water-courses of Kansas afford an abundance of 
power : but as in all new States, the people have first 
devoted themselves to the development of the land. 
The raanuf. interests, are, however, already assum- 
ing in the E. section of the State, where coal is 
plentiful. At Leavensworth there are manuf. of iron 
bridges, engines, boilers, stoves, railroad iron, and 
miner's tools. Their are also manuf. of wagons, car- 
riages, carpets, soaps, paints, and cement, at Leaven- 
worth, Fort Scott, Lawrence, Columbus, Ottawa, 
and other places. At Topeka, Parsons, Armstrong, 
and Argentine there are rolling mills and railroad 
repair shops, while planing-mills, tanneries, cheese 
factories, and pork-packing establishments are found 
in various localities. In 1880, Kansas had 2,803 
manuf. establishments, employing 12,062 hands capi- 
tol invested, $11,192,315 ; wages paid during the year 
$3,995,010; value of materials, $21,453,141 ; value of 
prod. $30,843,777.— There are 31 lines of railroads in 
the States, with an aggregate length of complete 
track of 3,718 m. in 1882, which greatly facilitates 
the internal commerce. Kansas has an eastern front 
of 150 m. on the Missouri R. which is navigable for 
steamboats of all sizes. The internal rivers of the 
State are not utilized for commercial purposes. By 
means of these railroads and the Missouri R. im- 
mense quantities of wheat, corn, cattle and swine 
are sent from Kansas to the eastern markets ; flour 



is sent south, southwest, and west, and butter, poul- 
try, and eggs, with large quantities of vegetables, 
hay, and garden produce, to the western mining re- 
gions. — The public schools are liberally endo%ved and 
supported. Two sections of land (1,280 acres) are set 
apart in each congressional district for school fund 
purposes. There were, in 1882, 6,322 public school 
buildings, and the permanent school fund amounted 
to $2,297,590. The teachers employed numbered 8,- 
208 ; children of school age, 346,792 ; total school en- 
rollment, 247,034 ; total school attendance, 139,776. 
The State supports a university at Lawrence, and a 
normal school at Emporia ; and the agricultural col- 
lege at Manhattan is endowed by the general govern- 
ment. There are also State institutions for the edu- 
cation of the blind, and the deaf and dumb, and for 
the care of the insane. A reform school for juvenile 
offenders is being built at the State capital. The 
principal colleges are St.Benedict's (Roman Catholic), 
at Atchison, founded in 1859; Washburn college 
(Congregational), at Topeka, founded in 1865 ; High- 
land university (Presbyterian); Baker university 
(Methodist Episcopal), at Baldwin City ; college of 
the sisters of Bethany (Episcopal), at Topeka ; and 
Ottawa university (Baptist), at Ottawa. The Kansas 
academy of science was organized in 1868 as a society 
of natural history, but was enlarged in its scope in 
1871, and incorporated the following year. In its pre- 
sent form it comprehends observers and investiga- 
tors in every line of scientific inquiry, and aims to in- 
crease and diffuse a knowledge of science particu- 
larly in its relation to Kansas. — The State is divided 
into 104 COS., viz.: Allen, Anderson, Arapahoe, Atchi- 
son, Barbour, Barton, Bourbon, Brown, Butler, 
Chase, Chatauqua, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Clark, Clay, 
Cloud, Coffey, Comanche, Cowley, Crawford, Davis,

Wichita, Wilson, Woodson, Wyandotte. The princi- 
pal cities are Leavenworth, Topeka (the cap.), Atchi- 
son, Lawrence, Wyandotte, Fort Scott, Wichita, Em- 
poria, Tarsons, and Ottawa. The legislative authority 
is vested in a senate of 33 members and a house of 
representatives numbering 105 members. There are 
annual sessions, and the compensation is $3 jjer day 
during actual service. The governor and other exe- 
cutive ofl[icers are chosen for a term of two years. 
The supreme court consists of 3 judges, elected by 
the people, and there are 15 district courts. Kansas 
is entitled to 7 representatives in congress, and has, 
therefore, 9 electual votes. The State debt in 1881 
was $1,181,975. The val. of taxable prop, in that year, 
as fixed by the State board, was $284,688,955.— Kansas 
belongs to tliat immense tract of country, purchased 
by the U. States from France in 1803, known as the 
Louisiana purchase. It was organized and opened for 
settlement as a territorv bv act of congress in May, 
18.54, and was admitted into the Union as the 34th 
State Jan. 29, 1861. By act passed in 1881, the manuf. 
and sale of intoxicatiusr liquors was prohil)ited in 
Kansas. Pop. in 1860, 107,206 ; in 1870, 364,690 ; in 
1880, 996,096 (of whom 536,667 males and 4.59,429 
females; 886,010 natives, and 110,086 of foreign 
birth ; 9.52,155 whites, 48,107 colored, 19 Chinese, 
and 815 Indians).

the 'second in the State in size aiid'importance, situa- 
ted on the right bunk of the Missouri R. just below 
the mouth of Kansas R. and near the Kansas border, 
135 m W.N.W. JefTersuu City, and 325 m. W. by N. 
from St. Louis. The site, which was originally very 
rough and uneven, has been leveled, and now presents 
a moderately even appearance, except where a high 
blulT divides the upi:>er or hill part of the city from 
the ■' b(jttoni"' or low lands where the railroad depots 
are. It is not rci^ularly laid out, but the streets are 
wide, and are graded and sewered, provided with 
sidewalks, and lighted with gas. The buildings are 
chiefly of brick. It is supplied with water by exten- 
sive water-works, combining the reservoir, the stand- 
pipe, and the Holly system. The Missouri is here 
spanned by a bridge 1,387 ft. long, resting on seven 
piers, erected at accost of >;1,000,0U0. Several lines of 
street vailioad run to various parts of the city and to 
the suburbs of Wyandotte, Kan., and Westport. The 
surrounding country is fertile, and abounds in coal, 
lead, iron, zinc, salt, gypsum, fire-clay, and building 
stone. By means of 9 railroads (and several others in 
construction) centering in a common station, the city 
commands the trade not only of W. Missouri and 
Kansas, but also of N. Texas and part of Colorado 
and New Mexico. The chief importance of Kansas 
City consists in its being the centre of the live-stock 
trailicforthe States W. of the Mississippi — a business 
which has enormously increased since the completion 
of the M.P.RR. e(mneeting this city through the 
Ind. Ter. with the great stock-raising regions of 
Texas. The jjork-packing business is al.^o lapidly as-

The S.E. portion of the State is broken by the Cum-

KEN 



terland, the Owsley and the Laurel Mts., whose 
highest summit does not exceed 3,000 ft. ; N. and W. 
of the hilly region lies an undulating tableland, in- 
tersected by numerous narrow and deep valleys. 
The W. portion of Ky., is divided between the 
" barrens " and a country which is partially hilly. 
The barrens, which occupy chiefly the tract between 
the Green and Cumberland Rs., are almost treeless, 
but the level surface is diversified by low round-top- 
ped hills, called " oak knobs" on account of the trees 
which cover them. The alluvial bottoms between these 
hills and the Ohio and its affluents are exceedingly 
rich. On the N. and W. the barrens are margined by a 
more broken and hilly country, which gradually passes 
tothe low flats which skirt theOhio and MississippiRs. 
— Nearly all the streams draining Ky., are tributaries 
of the Ohio R., which washes the entire N. boundary 
a distance of over 600 m. The principal are the Big 
Sandy, which forms the N.W. State line ; the Licking 
which in winter and spring is navigable for abt. 70 
m. and falls into the Ohio opposite Cincinnati ; the 
Kentucky, 260 m. long and large enough for steam- 
boats to ascend 80 m.; Green R., 300 m. long and 
navigable for two-thirds of its extent ; the Cumber- 
land, 600 m. long and navigable to Nashville, Tenn., 
200 m.; the Tennessee, which has a course of 70 m. 
across Ky. These rivers abound in fish. Salmon 
weighing 30 pounds and catfish exceeding 100 pounds 
in weight have been caught. The primitive forests 
have not yet been entirely cleared away, and Ky. , 
has an abundance of the best quality of timber. 
Among the trees are the walnut, ash, oak, hickory, 
elm, gum, poplar, chestnut, sugar-maple, magnolia, 
Cottonwood, pecan, redbud, locust, walnut, etc. — 
The State is abundantly supplied with coal and iron. 
The whole coal- area is abt. 14,000 sq. m. , of which 10,000 
are in the eastern and 4,000 in the western basin. 
Most of this coal, especially in the W., is a soft bi- 
tuminous coal, though some cannel is found. The E. 
deposits have more splint coals, which are better 
adapted to smelting and iron making. The yield of 
the coal mines for the year 1880 was 935.857 tons 
valued at $1,123,046. The iron district of the State 
covers about 20,000 sq.m. in almost all of which ores 
of such richness as to pay well for working are found. 
The pi'oduct of all iron mines in 1880 was 33,522 
tons of ore, valued at .$88,930. Lead exists but has not 
been successfully worked. Building stone of excel- 
lent quality exists in several sections, and is exported 
to some extent. Silver ore has been found near Cum- 
berland Falls. A more remarkable contribution to 
economic geology is that afforded by the salt springs 
or licks of the State. The early deposited rocks were 
laid down in shallow waters, and absorbed consider- 
able quantities of salt from the brine. In time, springs 
charged with this saline deposit found their way to 
the surface, usually in some marshy valley, and 
thither all the herbivorous mammals naturally resort- 
ed to lick the salt which had crystallized around the 
springs. This practise must have continued for many 
thousands of years, and hence Ave find in these 
swampy licks vast quantities of the remains of these 
animals. There are numerous medicinal springs of 
great virtue in the State ; those of Harrodsburg,"Blue 
Lick, etc. contain considerable quantities of sulphur. 
The caverns of the State form one of its most remark- 
ble features ; the Mammouth Cave is the most widely 
known of the thousands in the State, though possibly 
not the largest. (See Mammouth Cave). They occur 
throughout the entire range of the sub-carboniferous 
limestone, or over a region of 6,000 to 8,000 sq. m. In 
some places there are what are called sink-holes, 
considerable tracts often containing trees of large size, 
under which the roof of the cavern has given way 
and precipitated these patches (which are from 50 to 
150 ft. or more in diameter), to the floor of the cavern, 
•often 200 and 300 ft. below. A few of them are funnel- 



shaped and very deep, having been sounded to the 
depth of 300 ft. without reaching bottom. — The tem- 
perature of Ky. is a pleasant mean between the ex- 
tremes of the North and South. The range of the 
thermometer at Louisville for 3 consecutive years 
was from 4° below zero to 102° above. There is an 
annual mean of 55.23% which is 1.5° warmer than the 
city of Washington, and about one-fifth of a degree 
cooler than San Francisco. Snow does not remain long 
and cattle range the fields all winter. — The garden of 
Ky., is in the blue limestone or " blue grass "region, 
stretching from the Ohio as far south as Lexington. 
The Kentuckians say " the sun never shone on a 
fairer country." Its soil is " loose, friable and of a 
deep black or mulatto color." Upon a single acre 
1,400 pounds of tobacco have been grown. The " bar- 
rens," which were formerly considered of little value, 
and given to settlers by the State, have been found 
quite productive. Besides being a great grain grow- 
ing State, Ky. is the first State in the yield of tobacco, 
producing in 1880 36 per cent, of the entire product, 
of the country. It stands also first in the production 
of hemp and flax. Some cotton (1,367 bales in 1880) 
is raised along the Tennessee, Cumberland and Mis- 
sissippi Rs. The chief agricultural products for the 
year 1880 were as follows:

There were on farms 372,648 horses, 116,153 mules, 
36,166 working oxen, 301,882 milch cows, 505,746 
other cattle, 1,000,269 sheep, and 2,225,225 hogs.— In 
1880, according to the census of that year, Ky. had 
5,328 manufacturing establishments, employing 37,- 
691 hands; capital invested, $45,813,039; Avages paid 
during the year, $11,657,844; value of materials, $47,- 
461,890; value of products, $75,483,377. The leading 
industries were distilled liquors (chiefly whiskey), to- 
bacco manufacture, flour and feed, iron manufacture, 
and lumber. (See Louisville). The State has little 
direct foreign commerce, but its domestic commerce 
is very extensive. The principal exports are hemp, 
flax, tobacco, horses, mules, hogs, cattle, bagging, 
and rope. (For shipping statistics see Louisville). 
In 1882, Ky. had 1,715 in. of railroad in operation, 
and other roads were in process of construction and 
projected. — A school law, providing a system of 
free schools on the New England model, was passed 
in 1873, and the interest in public school education 
in the State has been since gradually increasing. The 
number of children of school age in 1880 was 539,- 
843. The Ky. university, established in 1858, em- 
braces a college of arts, the agricultural and mechan- 
ical college, the college of the Bible, a commercial 
college, and a college of law. In 1865, the agricul- 
turalland mechanical college, established by means 
of the congressional land grant, was made a part of 
the university, and the citizens of Lexington having 
given $100,000 for the purchase of an experimental 
and model farm and the erection of buildings for 
the agricultural college, the university was removed 
to that city. In 1881, the State normal school was 
separated from the university, and is now fitted to 
accomplish a work which, during its former con- 
nection, it was never prepared to do. The Ky. mili- 
tary institute in Frankfort was organized in 1846.

Ky. was adopted in 1850. The legislative authority is 
vested in a senate of 38 members chosen for 4 years, 
and a house of representatives of 100 members, hold- 
ing office for 2 years. The sessions of the legislatuer 
are l)iennial. The governor (salary, $5,000) and other 
executive officers are elected for a term of four years. 
Four judges, having a salary of «5,000 each, con- 
stitute the court of api)eals. The State sends 11 re- 
presentatives to congress, and has 13 electoral votes 
There is no State debt. The valuation of taxable 
property in 1883 was $354,179,311.— Ky. was first 
settled in 1773. The name signifies "the dark and 
bloody ground," from the continual wars which the 
Indians waged with one another upon this middle 
ground. They received the whites with the bitterest 
hostility, and many were the victims of the savage 
tomahawk and scalping knife. Ky. was admitted 
Into the I nion as the 15th State, July 1, 1792. Dur- 
ing the civil war the State remained in the Union, 
and jvas the scene of several battles. Pop. in 1790

l^ontucky River, Ky., rises on the S.E. 



border of the State, in the Cumberland Mts. Its prin- 
cipal feeders are the North, Middle, and South forks 
which unite in Lee co., near Proctor. The stream then 
flows in a tortuous N.W. direction until it enters the 
Ohio in Carroll co. Its length from the junction 
of its head streams to its mouth is 260 m., but the 
distance in a straight line between these two points 
is only 108 m. The scenery on the banks is famous 
forits romantic beauty. For a great part of its course 
the river flows between perpendicular limestone 
rocks, through which it appears to have gradually 
worn its way. The Kentucky has no large tributar- 
ies. It is navigable by means of locks and dams by 
steamboats 40 m. above Frankfort (63 m. from its 
mouth), and by flatboats 100 m. higher.

The S. and N. parts are connected by a small strait, 
and the former is called Lower Klamath. The N. 
extremity is 14 m. wide. Klamath R. is the outlet. 

Klamath Mill, Cal., p.o., Siskiyou co. 

Klamath River, Cal., rises in Lower Kla- 
math Lake, S. part of Oreg. and flows W. and S. 
across the Cal. frontier, where it changes to W.S.W. 
until joined by Trinity R. and then makes a sharp 
turn to N.N.W. and falls into Pacific Ocean in Del 
Norte CO. It is 275 m. long, abounds in salmon, and 
valuable gold diggings are on the banks. It has a bar 
at its mouth which can be crossed at high tide by 
ships of the line. The R. is navigable for abt. 40 m. 
by small steamers. 

Klamaths, the comprehensive name given to 
two or three distinct tribes on the Klamath R., living 
partly in Oregon and partly in California. They seem 
to have had no recognized tribal name. Those to- 
ward the mouth of the river and on the coast were 
called Euroc or Pohlik, meaning down ; those on the 
upper river were termed Cahroc or Pehtsik. The 
Quoratem, considered by some as Eurocs, lay in the 
middle, from Bluff to Clear Creek. Above the Cah- 
rocs were the Moadocs or Modocs ("head of the 
river"), not usually included under the term Kla- 
math. These tribes diflfered in language and type. 
The Cahrocs are said to be the finest California In- 
dians, lively, enterprising, and energetic, cleanly in 
their persons, and great bathers. The Eurocs were 
darker and inferior. In 1864 they ceded to the U. 
States all their lands except a reservation on the 
Klamath Lakes of 1,200 sq. m., where they are grad- 
ually adapting themselves to the pursuits of agricul- 
ture, and especially devoting themselves to lumber- 
ing. Their number is now reduced to abt. 500.

Cascade range and the Columbia R. They belong to 
the Sahaptiu family of the Columbian gi'oup, and are 
therefore akin to the Nez Perces and Walla Wallas, 
while they seem to be almost identical with the Ya- 
kimas, from whom, apparently, they are distin- 
guised only by geographical location. They were 
formerly quite migratory in their habits of life, but

rocks. The chief agricultural prod, in 1880 were 14,- 
047 bush, of wheat,'l40,314 of corn, 237,107 of oats, 29,- 
325 of rye, and 68,650 of buckwheat. Cap., Scranton. 
Pop. 89,268 (of whom 26,911 for., and 297 colored). 
This CO., formed in 1879 from part of Luzerne co., 
received its name from the river and coal basin of 
Which it partly contains. The river rises in the N.E. 
fioruer of the State, enters the N.E. extremity of the 
N. anthracite coal field, along which it continues for 
30 m. past Carbondale, Archbald, Providence, and 
Scranton, to the N. branch of the Susquehanna,which 
it enters at Pittstou, Luzerne co. The continuation of 
the Lackawanna valley S.W. of Pittston is tne Wyo- 
ming valley, and they are shut in by the Shawnee Mts. 



on the N.W. and the Wyoming, or Moosic Mts. on the 
S.W., the only gaps being where the Susquehanna 
enters at Pittston and passes out at Nauticoke. 
These mountains are steep rocky ridges, with a o-en- 
eral elevation of from 1,500 to 2,000 ft. above ''the 
valley, which at Wilkesbarre is 525 ft. above the sea. 
The valley has an irregular trough-like form and an 
undulating surface, corresponding to that of the 
rock strata and coal beds beneath ; and it is studded 
with thriving cities and towns, collieries, rolling 
mills, and blast furnaces. The entire area is 198 sq. 
m., of which the Lackawanna valley has 100 sq. m. 
The coal field, the largest and finest of the anthra- 
cite basins, fills both valleys, and is of a narrow 
ellipsoidal form, slightly crescent-shaped, stretching 
in a N.E. and S.W. direction about 50 m., and not 
attaining in its widest central portion a greater 
width than 5 m. This coal field, being the nearest to 
New York, supplies a large portion of the anthracite 
consumed in that State and further E. Nine-tenths 
of the coal is carried over the mountains. Around 
Carbondale, coal is mined by the Delaware and Hud- 
son canal company, and carried by their railroads 
over the Moosic Mts. to Honesdale 28 m. and thence 
by canal to Rondout on the Hudson R., 108 m. The 
D.,L.&W.RR. company, whose chief operations are 
at Scranton, have 618 m. of railroad. There are 
other smaller proprietors. The production of anthra- 
cite coal in Lackawanna co., for the j^ear 1880 was 
5,648,365 tons which was 26.69 per cent, of the total 
product of anthracite in that year.

the E. bank of the Androscoggin R., opposite Au-

36 m. N. of Portland by M.C.RR. Its importance is 
chiefly due to its water pri\ileges, which are among 
the best in New England, now applied to a great 
variety of machinery, involving large mjinufacturing 
interests. The river breaks over a diagonal ledge of 
rocks, and falls more than 50 ft. in a distance of 200 
ft. The natural advantages thus furnished are in- 
creased by stone dams extending across the river, 
and by a canal 60 ft. wide reaching from above the 
falls to the mills. The conformation of the ground is 
such that the water may be used several times. The 
Franklin company owns the water-power, canals, 
and other real estate, and rents to other companies.

New York. This strip of sandy beach, backed by a 
bluff, on the Atlantic Ocean, has been for many years 
the most fashionable summer resort in the vicinity of 
New York. As years have gone by a series of hotels 
have been built along the bluff with a fine wide aud 
well kept avenue between them and the ocean, until 
at present they extend in closeorder fornearly 2i m. 
The beach below the bluff is given over to bathing- 
houses, and a few pavilions stand on the edge of the 
bluff. Interspersed along the beach are a number of 
very elegant private cottages and some few boarding- 
houses, the finest being, however, S. of the West End 
Hotel. The amusements at " The Branch " are bath- 
ing in the morning, driving in the afternoon, and 
dancing in the evening. Each of the hotels employ 
an orchestra by the season to furnish dancing and 
promenade music for the guests. From 4 to 7 p. m. 
Ocean av. is crowded with vehicles, most of them 
faultlessly appointed, and stylish equipages of every 
possible style, and filled with ladies in elaborate 
toilets. During the months of July and August the 
Branch is always overcrowded with guests, and races 
are ruu at the race-course known as Monmouth Park. 
It is accessible from New York by steamer from Pier 
14 to Sandy Hook, and thence by the N.J.S.RR., or 
by the C.RR. of N.J., from the foot of Liberty st.

LiOiig Is land, N. T., a long, narrow, fish- 
shaped strip of land extending along the mainland 
from opposite Staten Island eastward to the Atlantic 
Ocean, being separated from the city of New York 
by East R. (which see) bounded N. by Long Island 
Sound, and washed on the S. by the ocean. Its great- 
est length from W. to E. is 115 m., and its average 
breadth from N. to S. 12 m. Along the N. shore, op- 
posite the mainland, there is a narrow range of hills 
called the " backbone " of the island, but the re- 
mainder of the island slopes gradually to the ocean. 
The S. shore is one immense sand-bank, separated 
from the island proper for nearly its entire length by 
inlets from the ocean, the largest of which is the 
Great South Bay, which extends for 100 m. without 
a break behind the Great South Beach which is at no 
point more than 5 m. wide. Rockaway and Coney Is- 
land beaches, which have become famous summer 
resorts, owing to their proximity to New York, are 
only western extensions of the Great South Beach. 
The island is divided into the 3 cos. of Kings, 
Queens, and Suffolk. Besides Brooklj'n it contains 
only one other municipality— that of Long Island 
City, which adjoins Brooklyn. The island is well sup- 
plied with railways at its W. end, opposite New 
York, and lengthwise the facilities are fairly ample 
elsewhere, but not so crosswise. The soil, except 
near the S. shore, where it is sandy, is tolerably fer- 
tilc.. Pop. 744,923.

W. by 5 m. N. and S., and has a water front of 10 m. 
stretching along Newtown Creek on the S., which sep- 
arates it from Brooklyn, and thence N. along East 
R. to Bowery Bay. It is divided into five waixls, and 
contains 3 post offices. Astoria in the N., Ravens- 
wood in the central portion, and Long Island City in 
the S. The S.W. portion is also called Hunter's 
Point. The N. portion is high and finely situated, 
and in Astoria and Ravenswood there are many beau- 
tiful drives and handsome residences. The plan has 
been liberally projected, with wide streets and ave- 
nues and 3 parks, but the actual laying out of the 



city has not advanced far. The city has 5 ward 
school houses, 1 daily and 5 wkly papers, a Baptist 
and a Methodist mission, and 14 churches. It was

Liouisiiinii., one of the gulf States, bounded 
N. by Arkansas and Mississippi, E. by Mississippi, 
S.E. andS. by the Gulf of Mexico, and W. by Texas. 
The Mississippi R. forms the eastern boundary for 



450 m. by its windings ; the coast-line on the Gulf of 
Mexico is 1,250 m., and the Sabine R. constitutes the 
W. boundary for 500 m. The State is situated be- 
tween lat. 29* and 33° N., and Ion. 89" 5' and 94° W.; 
area, 45,420. No other State in the Union is so nearly 
level. The highest elevations in the N. and N.W. do 
not rise above 240 ft., and from these the land slopes 
gradually both toward the Mississippi and the Gulf. 
A large portion of the delta of the Missir^sippi, es- 
pecially below New Orleans, is marshy, and actually 
below the river at high water. Al ng the Mississippi 
R, much of the landis below the surface of the river 
at the spring freshets, and is protected from overflow 
by levees or artificial embankments. These levees ex- 
tend 120 m. above New Orleans and 43 m. below it. 
They are sometimes ■worn and broken through by the 
floods, and the "crevasses" thus produced cause the 
submergence of hundreds of thousands of acres. 
The lands of the State are usually classified as "good 
uplands;" " pine hill lands," usually not very fer- 
tile; "alluvial tracts ;"" Bluff or Loess regions ;" 
"marsh lands;" "the prairie regions;" and "the 
pine flats." The whole alluvial region of the delta is 
very fertile, and its deep black loam will yield enor- 
mous crops ; the hilly country, on the contrary, is 
not very productive, and some portions of it are 
sandy barrens. — The Mississippi R. has a course of 
abt. 600 m. in the State, and is navigable for the 
largest steamers throughout its whole extent. The 
Red R. the second in size of the great tributaries of 
the Mississippi, enters the State in the N.W., and 
crosses it diagonally, forming an important avenue 
of inland commerce. Its principal affluent in the 
State is the Washita. TheSabineR. forms apart of the 
western boundary of the State, and the Calcasieu and 
Mermenteau are also considerable streams. The Pearl, 
Tangipahoa, Tickfaw, and Amite Rs. are the princi- 
pal streams E. of the Mississippi. Numerous lakes 
and lagoons are scattered over the State. The largest 
is Lake Ponchartrain, N. of the city of New Orleans, 
which has a navigable connection with the Gulf of 
Mexico, through Lake Borgne, and with Lake Mau- 
repas on the W. These lakes are but expansions of 
the Amite R. Among the forest trees are the ash, 
beech, birch, catalpa, cvpress, elm, gum, oak, hick- 
ory, black-walnut, locust, laurel, linden, magnolia, 
maple, mistletoe, mulberry, myrtle, palmetto, pop- 
lar, pine, sycamore, Cottonwood, buckeye, pecan, per- 
simmon, etc. The fruit trees are the orange, lemon, 
lime, fig, pine-apple, olive, pomegranate, peach, 
plum, apple, etc. — Coal, iron, petroleum, sulphur and 
rock salt are found in the State, but the latter only 
has been developed. There has been only a partial 
geological survey of the State, and the mineral re- 
sources are unknown and undeveloped. The climate 
in winter, owing to north winds, is more severe than 
in corresponding latitudes on the Atlantic coast. 
The summers are long and hot, and mephitic exha- 
lations from the marshes in autumn generate malarial 
fevers. The mean temperature for the year 1881, at 
New Orleans (lat. 29° 57') was 68.4°; at' Shreveport 
(lat. 32° 30'), 64.2°.— The staples of agriculture are 
cotton, sugar, rice, and corn. The other cereals are 
not generally cultivated. For the year 1880 the pro- 
duction of cotton was508,,569 bales ; of corn, 332,158 
bush. The rice and sugar are grown almost exclu- 
sively iu the alluvial soil along the Mississippi. The 
sugar cane does not flourish above lat. 31°. La. pro- 
duces most of the sugar made in the U. States. In 
18S0 the acreage was 181.502; the product 171,706 
hhds. of sugar and 11,696.248 galls, of molasses. 
There are 1,144 sugar houses in the State. Rice is 
one of the growing industries of La. In 18S0 the acre- 
age was 42,000 and the product 23,188,311 lbs. Tobac- 
co is not extensively grown. The product in 1880 was 
55,944 lbs. Cattle, sheep and horses are raised in the 
State, and but little attention is paid to improved

breeds. Sheep, cattle, mules and horses winter in the 
woods or wild cane brakes, without shelter, and 
come out in Feb. fat and sleek. The number of live 
stock in 1880 was 104,428 horses, 76,674 mules, 41,729 
working oxen, 146,454 milch cows, 282,418 other cat- 
tle, 135,631 sheep, and 633,489 hogs.— In the census 
year 1880 La. had 1,553 manuf. establishments, 
employing 12,167 hands ; capital invested, $11,462,- 
468 ; wages paid during the year, $4,360,371 ; value 
of materials, $14,442,506 ; value of products, $24,205,- 
183. The statistics of commerce and shipping are 
given in this work under New Orleans. There were 
In 1882 999 m. of railroad in operation. — Free schools 
are established by law, open to all children from 6 to 
21 years of age, without distinction of color. In 1880 
the statistics were : Public schools, 1,404 (for white 
youth, 955; for colored 539), youth of school age, 330,- 
980; pupils enrolled, 78,528; teachers employed, 1,494; 
expenditures for public schools $529,065. The univer- 
sity of Louisiana and agricultural and mechanical 
college, at Baton Rouge, has a classical, scieutific 
and commercial course. Other institutions for higher 
education are : Centenary college, college of the 
Immaculate Conception, Leland university ; New 
Orleans university ; St. Charles college ; Straight 
university; St. Mary's, Jefferson college, and the 
Silliman female collegiate institute. The State in- 
stitutions are the penitentiary at Baton Rouge, the 
insane asylum at Jackson, charity hospital at New 
Orleans, and the institutions for the education of the 
deaf and dumb and of the blind at Baton Rouge. — 
The civil divisions which are called counties in other 
States take the name of " parishes" in La. There are 
58 parishes, viz.: Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, 
Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Cam- 
eron, Catahoula, Claiborne, Concordia, De Soto, 
East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, 
Franklin, Grant, Iberia, Iberville, Jackson, JefEerson, 
La Fayette, La Fourche, Lincoln, Livingston, Madi- 
son, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Orleans, Ouachita, 
Plaquemines, Pointe Coupee, Rapides, Red River. 
Richland, Sabine, Saint Bernard, Saint Charles, Saint 
Helena, Saint James, Saint John Baptist, Saint Lan- 
dry, Saint Martin, Saint Mary, Saint Tammany, Tan- 
gipahoa, Tensas, Terre Bonne, Union, Vermillion, 
Vernon, Washington, Webster, West Baton Rouge, 
West Carroll, West Feliciana, Winn. The incorpora- 
ted cities are Baton Rouge (the cap.), Donaldson ville, 
New Orleans (the largest city and commercial em- 
porium of the State), and Shreveport. — The govern- 
ment is administered under the constitution of 1879. 
The legislature which meets annually, consists of 36 
senators elected for 4 years and 170 representatives 
elected for 2 years. The governor and other State 
oflScers are elected for a term of 4 years. The State 
sends 6 representatives to congress and has 8 elector- 
al votes. The judicial power is vested in a supreme 
court of 5 judges appointed by the governorwith the 
consent of the senate for 8 years. There are also dis- 
trict and parish courts. The code of Louisiana is 
made up of materials drawn from the old Spanish 
laws, the Roman civil law, the English common law 
and the Code Napoleon, modified by local enact- 
ments. The State debt recognized' as of binding 
obligation on the 1st of January, 1883, amounted to 
$12,136,166.24, of which $11,730,073.69 were consols ; 
and $406,092.55 the fundable portion of other debts 
still outstanding. The assessed value of taxable 
property in 1882 was $181,660,290 ; but it was gener- 
ally admitted that this valuation was wrong, and that 
if the property of the State was thoroughly assessed, 
even at two-thirds of its value, it would show a valua- 
tion of quite $300,000,000. The constitution of 1879 
limits taxation in the State for all purposes whatso- 
ever to one cent on the dollar. — Robert Cavelier de 
la Salle first discovered the mouth of the Mississippi 
R., April 7, 1682. New Orleans was founded in 1718. 



T^^J:^'^^'^^^^ ^^^ *^^^'3d to Spain by a secret treaty 
in 1762. Spam re-ceded it to France in 1800. Napoleon 
thought it unwise to retain his new possession. To 
his ministers he said : " The English have despoiled 
France of all her northern possessions in America 
and now they covet those of the South. I am deter- 
mined that they shall not have the Mississippi. I am 
inclined, in order to deprive them of all prospect of 
ever possessing it, to cede it to the U. States. Further- 
more, the emperor needed money. A treaty was 
signed, April 30, 1803, by which the whole of the 
vast region stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to 
the lakes, and from the Mississippi to the Rocky Mts. 
was conveyed to the U. States for the sum of $15,- 
000,000. Napoleon, pleased with his bargain, said: 
" By this cession of territory I have secured the 
power of the U. States and given to England a mari- 
time rival who at some future time will humble her 
pride." La. was admitted into the Union as the 18th 
State, April 8, 1812. An ordinance of secession was 
passed Jan. 26, 1861. New Orleans was captured by 
a combined naval and land force of Federals, and 
May 1, 1862, Maj.-Gen. Benjamin F. Butler took pos- 
session of the city. The Red R. expedition, in 1864, 
proved disastrous to the Federals. After the cessa- 
tion of hostilities the State was governed for a time 
by martial law, but finally was given over to the civil 
authorities (July 13, 1868). Pop. in 1810, 76,556 ; in 
1830,215,739; in 1860, 708,002 (of whom 18,647 free

properly rapids") disappear almost entirely, and 
steamboats pass over them ; but, when the water is 
low, the whole width of the river has the appearance 
of a great many broken cascades of foam making 
their way over the rapids. To obviate the obstruction 
to navigation caused by the falls, a canal 2i m. long

has been cut around them. The city extends abt. 3 
m. aloug the river and abt. 4 m. inland, embracing 
an area of 13 sc). m. The river is crossed by a rail- 
road bridije 5,218 ft. long between abutments, cost- 
ing ?<2,0l6,8iy. The streets are laid out at right an- 
gles, varying in width from GO to 120 ft., clean and 
well paved. 'The business parts of the city are on the 
streets nearest the river, the southern portion being 
occupied by private residences, which are notable 
for beauty and elegance. Among the most prominent 
public buildings are the new city hall, U. States cus- 
tom house and post ottice, alms house, female high 
school. Kentucky school for the blind, public library 
of Kentucky, the court-house, the Louisville indus- 
trial exhibition, city hospital, U. States marine hos- 
pital, eruption hospital and the male and female 
houses of refuge. Louisville is noted for the excell- 
ence of its public schools. It is also one of the great 
centres for medical education. The medical depart- 
ment of the university of Louisville has alumni 
scattered over every State in the Union. The Louis- 
ville medical college, the Hospital medical college, 
a department of Central university, and the Ken- 
tucky school of medicine have each large corps of 
instructors and a widely distributed list of students. 
The city has numerous social and benevolent socie- 
ties ; abt. 100 churches, 4 theatres and 1 opera house; 
9 nat. and 13 state banks, 5 daily, 20 wkly, 1 semi- 
wkly and 12 monthly papers. Five railroads centre 
at Louisville, and regular lines of steam packets run 
to New Orleans, the cities of lower Ohio, and Cincin- 
nati. Located on the great highway between the 
North and South, the positinn of Louisville will al- 
ways make her the great distributing point between 
the two sections. The commerce is immense. Louis- 
ville is one of the largest leaf-tobacco markets in the 
world, the sales of this one article amounting to over 
$5,000,000 annually. The trade in provisions aggre- 
gates from $11,000,000 to $15,000,000 annually ; and 
the city is rapidly becoming one of the most impor- 
tant markets for live stock in the country. Pork- 
packing is extensively carried on, and the sugar-cur- 
ing of hams is a special feature of the business. The 
annual product of iron foots up $5,000,000 Louis- 
ville is the great distributing market for the fine 
whiskies make by the Kentucky distilleries. The 
manufacture of beer has also become a very impor- 
tant interest. Leather, cement, agricultural imple- 
ments, furniture, and iron pipes for water and gas 
mains, are the other leading manufactures. Louis- 
ville is a port of delivery. In 1882 there were belong- 
ing to the port 60 steamers of 17,838 tons built dur- 
ing the year, 18 steamers of 8,430 tons, and 6 barges 
of 6,746 tons. The city is divided into 12 wards, and 
is governed by a mayor with a board of aldermen of 
one and a common council of two members for each 
ward. It is well supplied with water and gas, and 
has an excellent paid fire department. Louisville was 
established hy act of the Virginia legislature in May, 
1780, and nanit'd in honor of Louis XVI. of France ; 
it was incorporated as a city in 1828. An important 
exposition of the products and manufactures of the 
United States was held here in 1883. Pop. in 1810, 
1,3.57 ; in 1840, 21,210; in 1860, 68,033; in 1870, 100,-

Maine, the most easterly State of the Union, is 
situated between lat. 43° 6' and 47° 28 N., and Ion. 
62° 47' and 66° 57' W. It is bounded N.W. by Cana- 
da East, N.E. by New Brunswick, S.E, and S. by the 
Atlantic Ocean, and W. by New Hampshire. The ex- 
treme length is 302 m., and the extreme width 224 
m ; area, 29,895. The surface of Me. is varied, the 
central and N.W. portions rising into lofty summits 
(a continuation of the White Mts. of N.H.), the

highest of which, Mt. Katahdin, is 5,385 ft. above 
sea level. Among these niountains and hills are 
wide spread valleys and plains, watered by pure 
springs and never-falliug rivers. Its shore line from 
Kittery to Quoddy Head is 226 ni. in extent, while 
following the indentations of the coast along the 
deep inlets and river estuaries as far inland as the ebb 
and flow of the tide it is fully 3,0(X) m. The hydro- 
graphic survey of the State, made in 1867, gives a 
total of 1,955 water i)owers, or " mill privileges," con- 
taining at least 3,000,000 net horse powers. The aver- 
age elevation of the surface of the State above tide- 
water is estimated at abt. 1,000 feet. No other State 
has so many natural reservoirs and water-courses. 
There are L620 lakes and 5,151 streams represented 
on the State map of Me. The water surface covers 
an area of 3,200 sq. m. and the lakes alone 2,300 sq. 
m., or abt. 1-15 part of the State. The principal bays 
are Passainaquoddy, Machias, and Little Macbias, 
Englishman's, Narragnagus, Frenchman's, Isle au 
]I;iute, Penobscot and Belfast bays, Museongus, Da- 
m;irisfOtta, Sheepscott, Quohog, Casco, Saco, and 
I'istatacjua Bay or estuary. The Saco R. drains a 
dozen or more small lakes, and itself falls into Saco 
Bay. The Uinbagog chain of lakes is drained by the 
Androscoimin, which by a circuitous couise finds its 
w;iy into Qnniidg Bay. The .Moosohcad chain, which 
con^iiriscs, besides Moosehead Lake, many small 
lakes, finds an outlet in the Kennebec R., which dis- 
charges its waters into the oceau by many channels 
through a wide delta. The Penobscot R. diains near- 
ly one-third of the area of the State, and through its 
fi. and W. branches and their tributaries furnishes 
an outlet for the surj)lus waters of more than fifty 
lakes and ponds, and debouch a full volume of water 
into Penobscot Bay. Union, Pleasant, Narraguagus, 
Schoodic, St. Croix, and other rivers which discharge 
their waters into the Atlantic, form the outlets of a 
number of these lakes. Jones R., which drains the 
N. i)art of the State, has abt. 100 lakes and ponds at- 
tached to it and its tributaries. — Me. has been known 
from its earliest settlement to be rich in minerals, but 
it is only within a short period that any effort has 
been made to profit by such knowledge. In the sev- 
eral mining belts on the coast already explored, cov- 
ering a distance of more than 200 m., silver, gold and 
copper are found in paving quantities. There are 
more than 300 located mines in the State, nearly 50 
of which are in full operation, with a total capitaliza- 
tion of over $14,000,000. The work of exploring and 
developing the mineral resources of Me. is a"s yet 
hardly begun. The interior lies untouched, while 
much still remains to be accomplished on the coast 
bells. Tin, zinc and lead ores are found, also feld- 
spar, manganese, tripoli, iron pyrites, hornstone, fine 
emery, .sand-glass, mica, &c. Tourmaline, emeralds, 

farnets, and other precious stones are also found. — 
he climate is one of extremes. In the year the tem- 
perature ranges between 20° or 30° below to 100° 
above zero. The annual mean temperature at Port- 
land (hit. 43° 40' N., Ion. 70° 14' W.) is abt. 43.5°, 
rainfall 42.25 inches. In the extreme N. part of the 
State the temperature ranges from 5° to 10° lower. 
The winters are severe, but the temperature is not 
subject to violent changes. The snow lies on the 
ground for from 3 to 5 months.— The soil in the river 
Valleys and between the Penobscot and Kennebec is 
of irodd quality and yields large crops. In the moun- 
taniuus districts and along the sea coast it is sterile, 
and dors not rejjay cultivation. In other parts of the 
State it is moderately productive. A large portion of 
the State is stillcovered with forests, and its timber 
and lumber trade directly andindirectly urives emj)loy- 
ment to a large number of its inhabit ;nits. The 
forests of the N. part of the State are i)rincipally 
composed of pine, hemlock, and spruce. Farther S. 
there is an admixture of white and red oak, maple, 



beech, birch and ash. There are cedar swamps in 
the N. portion. Poplar, elm, basswood, dogwood, 
sassafras, juniper, pine, hornbeam, buttonwood, 
wild j)lum, alder, willow, etc., are found in the 
forests of the S. part of the State. Among the fruit 
trees, the cherry, plum, pear, and apple flourish, but 
the peach does not succeed well. The principal prod- 
for the year 1880 were as follows :

There were on farms 87,847 horses, 298 mules, 43,- 
049 working oxen, 150,845 milch cows, 140,527 other 
cattle, 565,918 sheep, and 74,369 swine. — Me. had, in 
1880, 4,481 manuf. establishments, employing 22-, 
954 hands ; capital invested, $49,988,171 ; wages 
paid during the year, .?13,623,318 ; value of materials, 
$51,120,708 ; value of products, $79,829,795. The lead- 
ing industries are the production of lumber and lime, 
the cotton and woolen manuf. the packing of 
ice, fish and vegetables, ship building and stone quar- 
rying. The immense amount of Avater power renders 
the use of steam necessary in only a small number of 
mills. There are abt. 1,200 saw mills, employing abt. 
9,000 hands, and the yearly value of sawed lumber 
is abt. $12,000,000. Bangor is the great lumber mart, 
where the amount surveyed during the season reaches 
abt. 200,000,000 ft. There were, in 1880, 24 cotton- 
mills, working 15,971 looms and 695,924 spindles ; 
capital invested $15,292,078 ; hands employed 11,864: 
cotton consumed, 112,381 bales ; value of mateiials, 
$7,320,152 ; value of products, $13,319,363. Ship build- 
ing, once Me.'s pride and boast, although not so ex- 
tensive as formerly is not a forgotten art. In 1882, 
120 vessels of 61,296 tons and 14 .steamers of 1,909 tons 
were built. The principal ship yards are at Bath, 
Waldoborough and Belfast. Me. ranks second only 
to Mass. in the extent and value of her sea fisheries. 
The fishery statistics for the census year 1880 were 
as follows : persons employed, 11,071 ; vessels em- 
ployed 606 of 17,632 tons ; fishing boats, 5,920 ; pounds 
of sea products &s the}' come from the water, 202,- 
048,440, reduced to 116,122,048 after being prepared 
for the market ; value of products in marketable 
condition $3,614,178. The storing and exportation of 
ice is fast becoming a vast business. In 1880, 1,000,- 
000 tons were stored on the Kennebec R. and vicinity 
(against 250,000 in 1870). Granite and slate, capable 
of the highest finish, are quarried in immense quan 
titles, and go to adorn and beautify many of the most 
massive and costly structures in the country. Lime, 
burned from Me's superior quality of limestone, is 
also a'large product. — The numerous harbors along 
the extensive sea-coast, give to the State great facili- 
ties for connnerce. There are 14 U. States customs 
districts, viz.: Aroostook (port of entry, Iloulton), 
Passaniaquoddy (port of entry, Eastport), Machias, 
Frenchman'.s Bay (portof entry, Ellsworth), Castine, 
Bangor, Belfast, Waldoborough, Wiscasset, Bath, 
Portland and Falmouth, Saco, Kenuebunk and York. 
The imports from foreign countries for the year 1883, 
were $1^,182,926 ; exports, $2,924,205. There were 3,- 
494 sailing vessels of 507,818 tons and 93 steamers of 
lti,(i5(') t(jns belonging to the different districts. Port- 
land is the principal port, and one of the best on the 
Atlantic coast. Me. bad in 1882, 1,022 m. of railroad

not without faults, is such that the children of the 
humblest stand side by side with those of the 
highest in the matter of school privileges. Together 
they may enter the door of the primary and, passing 
through all the grades, emerge from the free high 
school amply prepared to enter upon the active duties 
of citizenship, or fitted to enter the college or univer- 
sity. With a population of 635,000 there are 250,000 
scholars, scattered through the 500 towns and planta- 
tions in the State. To accommodate this growing 
army of learners there are more than 5,000 school 
houses, in which as many teachers give instruction 
on an average of 21 weeks in the year. Added to 
these are the private seminaries and training schools, 
of which very many of the larger towns have one or 
more. There are also three State normal schools de- 
voted to the work of training teachers for their pro- 
fessional labors, to which tuition is free. The prin- 
cipal institutions for higher education are Bowdoin 
college at Brunswick, Bates college at Lewiston, 
Colby university at Waterville, and the State college 
of agriculture at Orono, near Bangor, one of the 
latest and best of Me.'s higher training schools. The 
institutions supported wholly or in part by the State 
are the insane hospital at Augusta, the reform school 
near Portland, the State prison at Thomaston, and 
the soldiers' orphans' home. — The State is divided 
into 16 COS., viz.: Androscoggin, Aroostook, Cumber- 
land, Franklin, Hancock, Kennebec, Knox, Lincoln, 
Oxford, Penobscot, Piscataquis, Sagadahoc, Somer- 
set, Waldo, Washington, York. The incorporated 
cities are : Augusta (the cap.). Auburn, Bangor, 
Bath, Belfast, Biddeford, Calais, Ellsworth, Gardiner, 
Hallowell, Lewiston, Portland (the chief sea-port and 
leading commercial city), Rockland and Saco. — Me. 
is governed under the constitution of 1820. The leg- 
islative authority is vested in a senate of 31 members 
and a house of representatives of 151 members, all 
elected annually by the people. The general election 
is held on the second Monday in Sept., and the legis- 
lature meets in Augusta on the first Wednesday in 
Jan. annually. The governor (salary $2,500) is also 
elected annuallj-, and is assisted in his executive 
duties by a council of 7 members, elected on joint 
ballot by the legislature. The supreme court consists 
of 8 judges appointed by the governor and council 
for 7 years and having a salary of $3,000 each. The 
State sends 4 representatives to congress and has 6 
electoral votes. The prohibitory liquor laws have 
made Me. famous in the temperance reform. The 
only lawful sale of liquor (including all malt liquors), 
is under the direction of a commissioner who is re- 
quired to furnish municipal officers of towns in Maine, 
with pure unadulterated intoxicating liquors, to be 
sold for medicinal, mechanical and manuf. purposes. 
The penalty for violation by a common seller is $100 
fine or three months' imprisonment for the first, and 
$250 fine and four months' imprisonment forthe sec- 
ond and each subsequent otf ence. The total State debt 
in 1881 was $5,801,900 ; sinking fund, $1,436,367. The 
val. of taxable prop, was $235,978,716 ; rate of tax, 4i 
mills. — Me. separated from Mass. in 1880 and was ad- 
mitted into the L^^nion as a State. The disputed bound- 
ary line between the U. States and British territory was 
settled by treaty in 1842. Pop. in 1790, 96,540 ; in 1820,

.Mstinniotii i'ave. A'?/., the largest cavern 
known, situated in Edmonson co., near Greene R., 
abt. 75 ni. S.S.W. Louisville, and 6 m. from Cave 
City. Its mouth is reached by passing down a wild 
rocky ravine through a dense forest ; it is an irregu- 



lar, funnel-shaped opening, from 50 to 100 ft. in di- 
ameter at the top, with .steep walls abt. 50 ft. high. 
The cave extends about nine miles, and it is said 
that to visit the portions already traversed requires 
from 150 to 200 miles of travel. This vast interior 
contains a succession of marvelous avenues, cham- 
bers, domes, abysses, grottoes, lakes, rivers, cata-

Maryland, one of the central Atlantic States 
bounded N. by Pennsjlvania, E. by Delaware and 
the Atlantic Ocean, S. and W. by Virginia and West 
Virginia. It lies between lat. 37° 53' and 39° 44' N., 
and Ion. 75° 4' and 79° 33' W. The length from E. to 
W. is 196 m. and the breadth varies from 5 to 120 m.; 
area, 9,860 sq. m., or including water surface, 12,210 
sq.m. Between the Chesapeake and the Delaware 
Bays and the Atlantic Ocean is a peninsular contain- 
ing 5,980 sq.m. Of this the part belonging to Md., com- 
prising 3,386 sq. m., divided into 8 cos., is called the 
" Eastern Shore." The " Western Shore " comprises 
another peninsula, lying between the Chesapeake 
and the Potomac R., and containing 3,698 sq. m. It 
includes the whole 6 cos., and parts of 3 others. 
Both the above sections are alluvial. To the N. and W. 
is a third district, which is crossed by the ranges of 
the Blue Ridge and the Alleghany Mts. Some of the 
most conspicuous summits are South Mtn., Sugar 
Loaf, Catoctin, Kittatinny, Rugged and Will Alts. 
The Susquehanna, which empties into the head of 
Chesapeake Bay, is navigable beyond the State line. 
On the Eastern Shore are the Elk, Chester, Sassafras, 
Choptank and Nanticoke, of which only the latter 
two are navigable. On the Western Shore are the 
Patapsco, navigable for 22 m., and the Patuxent, 
navigable for 50 m. The Potomac, which borders 
Md., for 330 m., is 7i m. wide at its mouth. Vessels 
ascend it to a distance of 125m. Chesapeake Baj' is 
300 m. long, from 7 to 30 wide, and with its tributaries 
drains 70,000 sq. m. of territory. It is navigable for 
the largest vessels. Sinepuxent Bay, 30 m. long and 
from 1 to 5 wide, is very shallow," and the 30 m. of 
Atlantic coast afford not a single good harbor. — The 
Eastern and Western Shores are low and sandy, with 
occasional stagnant marshes, which are malarious. 
In the central and northwestern sections the loams 
and rich agricultural clays are unexcelled in adapta- 
bility to growing grains and the most exacting of the 
grasses; portions of the State, reposing upon lime- 
stone foundations, presenting some of the finest val- 
lej's to be seen on the Atlantic slope, whether the 
beautiful scenery, the fertile lands or the neatly kept 
farms be considered. — The position of Md., is a 
fortunate one as regards climate, escaping as she 
does the extremes of both heat and cold, but subject 
to the moderate alterations which conduce to health 
and vigor. Her climatic conditions are modified, the 
temperature of that part of the State between the 
ocean and the bay being especially moderated by the 
proximity of these great volumes of water, ih'e in- 
fluence of which is seen in the shorter winters and 
higher range of mercury th.an places on the same lines 
of latitude further inland. The mean annual tempera- 
ture of the central part of the State is 56°, of the 
northern portions 54°, the high lands of the west 50° F. 
— The N.W. cos. contain inexhaustible veins of bi- 
tuminous and semi-bituminous coal, mined by 
numerous corporations, and reaching the seaboard by 
the B.&O.RR., and the Chesapeake and Chio canal, 
the latter work connecting Cumberland, Md., and 
Georgetown and Washington in the district of Col- 
umbia. Iron is found widely distributed, and is 
worked in many large and well equipped establish- 
ments, some of the ores found being notably pure 
and valuable, includingsome deposits of specular and 
chromic iron. Copper is found in several localities, 
and a seam of gold-bearing quartz in Montgomery co., 
worked at times, is now being more systematically 
developed by improved processes and with new ma- 
chinery. In the central and western parts of the State 
the surface is largely underlaid by limestone rocks.

those in Baltimore co., N. of the city of that name, 
being magnesian in composition. Some of the strata 
in this CO., and in Carroll, afford marbles of fine grain, 
great density and strength, which have been largely 
used in the public buildings in Washington and 
Baltimore. Other veins yield annually large supplies 
of lime for agricultural and building purposes. In 
1880,32 coal-mines yielded 2,227,844 tons valued at$2,- 
584,455. There were 13 iron mines, which produced 57,- 
940 tons of ore,valued at $118,050. — The main agricul- 
tural crops are the cereals, hay, tobacco, and fruit. 
The wheat lands of Washington, Frederick, Talbot, 
nd other cos., are noted for producing a grain richa 
in gluten, thin coated, and peculiarly adapted for 
making flour for shipment to and through the tropics. 
The product of the cereals for the year 1880 was 136,- 
667 bush, of buckwheat, 15,968,533 of corn, 1,794,872 
of oats, 288,067 of rye, aud 8,004,864 of wheat. To- 
bacco is a staple crop of the five S. W. shore cos. , both 
narrow and broad-leaved varieties being now grown, 
the latter coming more generally into favor, as pre- 
ferred by buyers. The crops are adapted to the manu- 
facture of chewing and smoking tobacco, but the 
cultivation of sorts suitable for cigar wrappers is ex- 
tending in the cos. of Cecil, Baltimore and Hartford, 
Avhose territory joins that of Pennsylvania, whilst 
the production of a lighter colored weed, cured by 
fire heat, and once largely grown in Frederick and 
Montgomery cos., is being yearly restricted, its 
quality falling below that formerly produced on new 
lands, and then much sought for exportation, mainly 
to the factories of Germany and Russia. The crop of 
tobacco for the census year 1880 Avas 28,082,147 lbs. 
The apple thrives in the high W. cos. and yields 
noble fruit, whilst in all the bayside cos., of both 
shores, peaches are extensively grown for market, the 
orchards exceeding in extent those to be found else- 
where. Many large pear orchards also exist, and 
these products, for weight, fairness of form, bright 
color and pronounced flavor, equal any grown. 
The grape finds a congenial home, not only on the 
mountain slopes of W. Md., but smiles amid the 
hills of Howard, and flourishes in the lower and more 
sandy soils along the waters of the bay. The preserv- 
ing, by canning or packing, of fruits and vegetables, 
especially of the peach, but including varieties of the 
" small fruits," is a business of huge proportions in 
Baltimore and many of the towns on the bay aud its 
tributaries, such establishments frequently working 
alternately,as the season requires,on fruit and oysters. 
In several cos. the feeding of cattle is largely 
pursued, and great numbers of lambs are raised 
in almost every vicinity accessible by rail or water. 
Dairying is an important branch of farming along 
the lines of the railroads, the daily demand for 
milk and cream from Washington and Baltimore 
requiring copious supplies. The number of live stock 
on farms in 1880 was 117,796 horses, 12'561 mules, 
22,246 working oxen, 122,907 milch cows, 117,387 
other cattle, 171,184 sheep, and 335,408 swine. — In 
the census year 1880 there were 13,748 men employed 
in catching oysters in Md., with wages and earnings 
amounting to $2,538,000 during the oyster season on 
an average of $184.60 for each man. Baltimore is the 
great centre of the packing trade. The number of 
vessels loaded with oysters which arrived at that 
port was 9,543, bringing 7,252,972 bush, (the average 
number of oysters in a bush, is abt. 175). In addition 
to this amount, there were 25,000 bush, brought by 
the bay steamboats, making a total of 8,277,972 bush, 
of which 3,769,353 bush, were packed raw, 2,689,939 
bush, cooked and hermetically sealed, and 818,680 
bush, used for local consumption. The amount of 
capital invested in the business is $2,338,300, and the 
estimated value of the packing-houses $1,360,- 
966. The number of shuckers employed by the oyster- 
packers of Baltimore is 6,627, of which 4, 167 are males 



and 2,460 are females. — In 1880 Md. had, according to 
the census report, 6,787 manuf. establishments, 
employing 74,944 hands ; capital invested, $,58,742 - 
384 ; wages paid during the year $9,725,962 ; value of 
materials, $66,937,846 ; value of products,$106,780,565. 
The principal industries were cotton goods, flour and 
meal, canned fruits and vegetables, iron and steel 
(see page 25), tanned aud curried leather, sawed 
lumber, refined sugar, canned oysters and fish, copper 
and sheet-iron ware, tobacco and cigars, &c. There 
were 19 cotton mills working 2,425 looms and 125,- 
706 spindles ; capital invested, $4,600,816 ; operatives, 
4,086;cottonconsumed,51,537bales;valueof jjroducts, 
$4,682,114.— There are 3 customs districts ; Baltimore 
Annapolis, and Eastern (port of entry Cristield), but 
the foreign commerce is carried on wholly through 
Baltimore which ranks 6th among the American ports 
in the value of exports and imports. The exports 
for the year 1880 amounted to $76,220,870 and for 
1882 to $39,412,642 ; imports (1880) $19,956,256, (1882) 
$14,940,373. The entrance in 1882 were 915 vessels of 
852,575 tons ; clearances, 856 vessels of 802,627 tons. 
There were in 1882, belonging to the3 'customs dis- 
tricts, 1,921 vessels of 125,176 tons (sailing vessels 1,766

Massaclinsetts, one of the New England 
States, bounded N. bj^ Vermont and New Hampshire, 
E. by the Atlantic Ocean, S. by the Atlantic Ocean 
and the States of Rhode Island and Connecticut and 
W. by New York. It is situated between lat. 41° 15' 
and 42° 53' N., and Ion. 69° 55' and 73° 32' W. The 
length is 160 m. from E. to W. and the breadth 90 
m. on the E. and 48 m. on the W. ; area, 8,315 sq. m. 
The coast line is extensive, and deeply indented with 
bays, harbors, and sounds, chief among which begin- 
ning with the S.E., are — Buzzard's Bay, which is al- 
most landlocked by the chain of the Elizabeth Is- 
lands, and has many small bays and harbors on its 
N.W. shore ; Vineyard Sound, between the Elizabeth 
Islands and Martha's Vineyard ; Edgartown and 
Nantucket harbors; Cape Cod Bay, three-fourths 
landlocked ; Wellfleet Bay, Plymouth harbor ; Dux- 
bury Bay, Massachusetts Bay, and within it Boston 
harbor ; Lynn harbor, Nahant Bay, Marblehead, Sa- 
lem, and Beverly harbors ; Gloucester harbor or bay, 
Sandy Bay, and Annisquam harbor. There are hun- 
dreds of islands along the coast, mostly small, but 



Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket Island, and several 
of the Elizabeth group are of good size, the two 
former constituting each a co. by itself. The surface 
of the State is much varied, with rugged hills in the 
west, which attain to the dignity of mountains, and 
flat and sandy plains in the S.E. "Two separate ridges 
of the Green Mts. of Vermont traverse the W. part 
of the State. The Taconic range, near and parallel 
with the New York line, has the loftiest peaks, Grey- 
lock, in Adams, reaching a height of 3,505 ft., and 
Mt. Washington (or Mt. Everett) in the S.W. corner 
of the State, an elevation of 2,624 ft. The Hoosac 
range, a few miles eastward of the Taconic, reaches 
an altitude of from 1,200 to 1,600 ft., and this is 
pierced by the famous Hoosac tunnel, five miles in 
length, at a point but a few miles S. of the Vermont 
line. Still further east, near the west bank of the 
Connecticut R. are two isolated peaks. Mount Tom 
and Sugar Loaf, the former 1,214 ft. in height, while 
across the river at a short distance is Mt. Holyoke, 
910 ft. high. Near the heart of the State, in the town 
of Princeton, Worcester co., is Mt. Waehusett, 2,018 
ft. in height. There are few navigable rivers. "The 
Connecticut, which flows S. through the W. part of 
the State, is the chief, and admits of a limited com- 
merce as far as the manuf. city of Holyoke, 
some 15 m. N. of the Connecticut State line. The 
Merrimack R. in the extreme N.E. of the State, is also 
navigable for a few miles from its mouth. The other 
principal rivers are theHousatonic, Hoosic, Miller's, 
Nashua, Blackstone, Concord, Taunton, Charles, and 
Mystic. None of these are navigable within the State, 
but they furnish a large amount of water-power. 
There are no lakes of any size, but numerous ponds 
are scattered over the State's surface. — Much of the 
land in Mass. is sterile. The valley of the Connecti- 
cut, however, is an exception, and many farms, par- 
ticularly those near the large cities, have been brought 
up to a high state of productiveness by generous 
culture. The five western counties are largely given 
over to dairying, while tobacco is a crop of prime 
importance in the fertile valley of the Connecticut. 
The presence of numerous cities and manuf. 
villaffes stimulates the raising of great quantities of 
garden truck to feed their inhabitants. Dairying has 
been carried to considerable perfection ; blooded 
stock is common, and the milk not required to sup- 
ply the demands of the town population is converted 
into cheese and the sweetest and most golden of 
butter. Cheese making is now done in neighborhood 
factories, and the prospect is that butter, now gener- 
ally made in the dairy of the farmer, will be made by 
wholesale in creameries, as already commonly done 
in parts of the West. The amount of cheese produced 
of late years has materially decreased, the farmers 
apparently finding butter making, or selling their 
milk outright, more profitable. A few thousand 
bushels of wheat are annually raised in the valley of 
the Connecticut. Corn for the home feeding of farm 
animals holds a conspicuous place in the mixed agri- 
culture of the State. The following agricultural sta- 
tistics of Mass. for 1880 are taken from the census of 
that year: Improved land in farms, 2,128,311 acres 
(tilled, 885,886; meadow, 1,242,425; unimproved 
land, 1,230,768 ; woodland and forest, 1,004,099 ; other 
226,669). Number of farms, 38,406 (of which 24,386 
under 100 acres each). Value of farms, $146,197,415 ; 
value of implements, $5,134,537. The prineijial 
products were hay 684,679 tons ; milk, 29,662,953 
galls.; butter, 9,6.55,587 lbs.; cheese, 829,.')28 lbs.; 
eo-gs 6,753,679 dozens ; tobacco, 5,.369,436 lbs.; pota- 
toes, 3,070,389 bush.; corn, 1,797,768 bush.; barley, 
80 128 bush.; buckwheat, 67,117 bush.; oats, 645,159 
bush ; wheat, 15,768 bush.; and rye, 213,716 bush. 
Total value of products. $24,158,881. The number of 
farm animals was 59,629 horses; 14,571 working 
oxen ; 150,435 milch cows ; 96,045 other cattle ; 67,-

679 sheep (exclusive of spring lamb); and 80,123 
swine. Total value of farm animals, .?12,957,004. — 
The climate of Mass. is cool. The winters are gener- 
ally long and severe, the summers short and warm. 
Snow falls usually during five or six months, and 
in rare instances exceeds six months. The amount 
of annual rainfall has been for a term of years from 
40 to 43.5 inches, and is very equably distributed 
through the seasons. The mean annual temperature 
in the N. W. part of the State is 45°, in the S.E. part 
50°. July is the hottest month in Boston, with a 
mean temperature of 73°; January the coldest, with 
a mean temperature of 28°. The mercury occasion- 
ally falls to 10° below zero, in winter, and rises in 
summer to 100°, thus showing a range between ex- 
tremes in Boston of 110°. — The mineral productions 
of the State are few and limited. Anthracite coal is 
found and mined to a small extent in the eastern 
counties of Bristol and Plymouth. Gold, lead and 
copper have also been discovered here and there, but 
in insufficient quantities for profitable mining. Iron 
of excellent quality, however, is found abundantly 
in Bericshire co., where there are several furnaces 
for extracting the ore, and the same metal exists to 
a smaller extent in the eastern cos. of Bristol and 
Plymouth. Glass sand, white marble, plumbago, etc., 
are also products of Berkshire co. — As a manuf. 
State, Mass. stands third in the Union for the value 
of products and is by far the first in proportion to 
area and population. From end to end the State is 
thickly dotted with manuf. cities and villages. Ac- 
cording to the census of 1880, there were in Mass. 
14,134 manuf. establishments, employing 335,078 
hands capital invested, $280,175,753; wages paid 
during the year, $121,103,705; value of materials, 
$355,737,797; value of products, $581,983,449 (on 
which total product Boston contributed $123,366,137 ; 
Fall River, $18,978,776; Lawrence, $19,332,934; 
Lynn, $25,216,778 ; Cambridge, $26,124,023 ; Lowell, 
$28,656,196, and Worcester, $24,758,457). The follow- 
ing table exhibits the extent of the manuf. of the 
leading articles in 1880 :

The fisheries of Mass. are of considerable impor- 
tance. In 1880, according to the U. States census.there 
■were 20,117 men engaged in the fisning industry, 
■which employed 1,007 vessels of 81,080 tons, and in 
which a capital of $14,334,450 was invested. The total 
value of sea products as .sold was $8,151,750, in which 
the value of products of the whale fishery entered 
for $2,089,337. The most important centres of the 



fishery industry are Gloucester, which far surpasses 
any other port of the countrj' in the magnitude of 
its cod and mackerel fisheries, and New Bedford, 
which is the leading market in the U. States for the 
produce of the whale. — The foreign commerce of 
Mass. is of great magnitude. For commercial pur- 
poses the State is divided into 11 customs districts, 
viz.: Barnstable, Boston, Edgartown, Fall River, 
Gloucester, Maiblehead, Nantucket, New Bedford, 
Newburyport, Plymouth, and Salem and Beverly. 
The number of vessels belonging to the several dis- 
tricts in 1882 was 2,252 of 429,092 tons (2,081 sailing 
vessels of 374,597 tons, 160 steamers of 50,922 tons, 
and 11 barges of 3,573 tons). The total imports 
amounted to $70,216,970; exports, $62,516,601.— In 
1882, Mass. had 1,935 m. of railroad in operation, 
which, on proportion to its territory, is more than 
any other State in the country. Nominally they be- 
long to 61 corporations, but the railroads in the 
State are controlled by 31 distinct boards of direc- 
tion. — The Mass. system of public schools is most 
excellent. Every person having under his control a 
child between the ages of 8 and 14 years is required 
to send it to school at least 20 weeks annually, under 
penalty of a fine not exceeding $50. Cities and towns 
must provide truant schools and appoint truant offi- 
cers, who shall cause the confinement for instruction 
of habitual truants between the ages of 7 and 15 
years. Moreover, there are laws prohibiting the em- 
ployment of children in manufactories to the neglect 
of their education. Two agents are employed in visit- 
ing the schools of the State for inspection and improve- 
ment. In many of the cities and towns text books 
are furnishedfree to the pupils in the public schools. 
The schools are supported by local taxation. The 
secretary of the board of education for the year 1880 
reports 6,570 public schools in the State, with 306,770 
pupils, taught by 8, .595 teachers. The average atten- 
dance was 89 per cent., and the average cost per 
pupil $14.54. There are 5 State normal schools for 
the training of teachers. These are located at West- 
field, Salem, Framingham, Bridgewater and Worces- 
ter, and in addition there is a normal art school at 
Boston. In the way of colleges, universities and 
schools for professional training the State is richly 
provided. Harvard university at Cambridge, estab- 
lished in 1636, is the oldest and most important of 
collegiate institutions ; Williams college at Wil- 
liamstown, in the extreme N.W. part of the State, 
founded in 1783, and Amherst college at Amherst, 
established in 1821, come next. Of later date and less 
importance are Tufts at Somerville, near Boston, 
Boston university, and the Roman Catholic college 
of the Holy Cross at Worcester. Beside these are 
two recently established and well endowed institu- 
tions for women — Smith college at Northampton and 
Wellesley at Needham. Of theological schools there 
are no less than 7. Andover is the seat of orthodox 
Congregational theology ; the divinity school con- 
nected with Harvard university is Unitarian in its 
bias ; the Baptists have a school at Newton, the Uni- 
versalists one in connection with Tufts college, the 
Episcopalians one at Cambridge, and the Methodists 
one in connection with Boston university. There are 
law and medical schools attached to Harvard arid 
Boston universities. There is a college of pharmacy 
at Boston and a couple of dental schools in the same 
city. Scientific agriculture is taught at the Massa- 
chusetts agricultural college at Amherst, and en- 
ters into the scope of the Massachusetts institute of 
technology at Boston, the Lawrence scientific school, 
and the Worcester county institute of industrial sci- 
ence at Worcester. Mass. is also well sujijjlied with 
charitable and reformatory institutions. There is a 
large State reform school at Westboro, an industrial 
school at Lancaster, and a primary school for the 
State's waifs at Monson. There is a large new State

prison for men at Concord and one for women at 
Sherborn, a big almshouse at Tewksbury, a work- 
house at Bridgewater ; and three large and expen- 
sive insane asylums are located at "Worcester, Taun- 
ton and Northampton. — The State is divided into 14 
COS., viz.: Barnstable, Berkshire, Bristol, Dukes, Es- 
sex, Franklin, Hampden, Hampshire, Middlesex, 
Nantucket, Norfolk, Plymouth, Suffolk and Worces- 
ter. The incorporated cities are Boston (cap. of the 
State and commercial centre of New England), 
Chelsea, Fall River, Fitchburg, Gloucester, Haver- 
hill, Holyoke, Lawrence, Lowell, Lynn, New Bedford, 
Newburyport, Newton, Salem, Somerville, Spring- 
field, Taunton, and Worcester. — The constitution of 
1780, as several times amended, is still the supreme 
law of the State. The legislature consists of 40 sen- 
ators and 240 representatives. The governor (salary 
$5,000) and other executive officers, as well as mem- 
bers of the legislature, are elected annually. The 
supreme judicial court consists of Tjudges; chief jus- 
tice receives a salary of $6,500 and the others $6,000. 
The superior court has 10 judges, salary $5,000, ex- 
cept the chief justice, who receives$5,300. All judges 
are appointed by the governor for unlimitedtime. The 
State debt in 1881 was $32,799,464, sinking fund $14,- 
285,781. Aggregate net indebtedness of municipalities 
in Mass. In 1881 was $65,408,691; val. of real estate and 
per. prop., $1,684,239,976 ; percentage of the debt to 
the total property valuation, .039. — In 1603 a company 
of English colonists landed on the Elizabeth Islands, 
but soon abandoned their settlement. The Pilgrims 
landed at Plymouth Dec. 23, 1620. Another colony 
was established at Salem in 1828, and both colonies 
united in 1693 under one government, including 
Maine. Meantime, the natives had not quietly sub- 
mitted to this invasion of the white man, and many 
fierce and sanguinary contests occurred between the 
settlers and the savages. In 1675, an Indian chief, 
named Philip of Pokaneket, or King Philip, collected 
a large army and began a war which had for its ob- 
ject the entire extermination of the English. This 
war lasted for 3 years, attended with severe loss on 
both sides, and only ended by the death of King 
Philip himself. From this time until the war of in- 
dependence, Mass. enjoyed a period of comparative 
peace and prosperity. Her enterprise, herrapidly in- 
creasing population, and her independent spirit 
seemed to have excited the jealousy towards her, 
and they sought occasion to humiliate her. Op- 
pressive measures of taxation were devised, her 
commerce was hampered by restrictions, and large 
bodies of troops were kept upon her soil. Every 
measure of oppression was resisted, and the other 
colonies were appealed to for sympathy and har- 
mony of action. The Boston massacre of 1770 
increased the excitement of the people, and the 
destruction of the tea in 1773 in Boston har- 
bor, the opposition to the post bill in 1774, the repre- 
sentation of the colony in the general congress, the 
seizure of the arsenal at Charlestown by the militia, 
and its reorganization there as a provincial congress, 
were the most prominent of the many events which 
immediately preceded the resolution. The first blood 
of the revolutionary war was shed at Lexington and 
Concord on April, 19, 1775, the battle of Bunker 
Hill on June 17, of the same year followed, and 
Mass. was fairly involved in the great issues of the 
war more than a year before the declaratioQ of inde- 
pendence. The constitution of the U. States was rati- 
fied in Jan. 1788, by a State convention, by a vote of 
187 to 168. Maine was separated from Mass. in 1820.

780 m. above New Orleans, 420 m. below St. Louis, 
and 190 m. S.W. Nashville. It is the second city in

place on the Mississippi between St. Louis and New 
Orleans. The bluff on which the city is built is abt. 
35 ft. above the highest floods. The streets are broad 
and regular, and lined with handsome buildings. 
Many of the residences on the avenues leading from 
the river are surrounded with beautiful lawns. The 
city extends over 3 sq. m. In the centre there is a 
handsome park, filled with trees, and containing a 
bust of Andrew Jackson. There are two theatres 
seating800and 1,000 persons respectively, 35 churches 
7 insurance companies liaving State charters, a board 
ofhealth, chamber of commerce, cotton exchange, 
and railroads making connections with all prominent 
points N.,S., E., and W., enable the city to carrj' on 
an immense trade with all parts of the U. States. The 
railroads centering at Memphis are C.,0.&S.W.,L.& 
N.,M.&C.,M.&L.R., and M.&T. Lines of steam- 
ers run to St. Louis, Cincinnati, Vieksburg, Napol- 
eon, Ark., and to the Arkansas, White, and St. Fran- 
cis Rs. Cotton is the chief and absorbing article of 
commerce. For the year 1880 the receipts of cotton 
amounted to 409,809 bales, valued at $23,752,529. Tlie 
annual value of the total trade of the city is abt. §75,- 
000,000, The jjrincipal manuf. are 5 large foundries 
and machine shops, with several smaller ones, exten- 
sive wood-works, a tobacco factory, a furniture fac- 
tory and three of the largest oil mills in the U. States, 
consuming abt. 500,000 sacks of cotton seed annu- 
ally and producing nearly §1,000,000 worth of cotton- 
seed oil, oil cake, and regiuned cotton. The number 
of vessels belonging to the port in 1880 was 63 with an 
aggregate tonnage of 11,266. There are 6 banks with

including a male and a female high school, and 32 
private schools and academies ; 3 daily, 10 wkly, and 
2 monthly papers. The Memjjhis library association 
has 9,000 Volumes. The city is divided into ten wards, 
and is governed by a mayor, with a board of alder- 
men 01 one member and a common council of two 
members from each ward. It has an efficient police 
force and a good fire depatment. Memphis was laid out 
in 1820, and incori)oratedasacity in 1831. Owing to the 
ravages made by several visitations of yellow fever 
and other infectious diseases, Memphis found itself 
in 1879, almost upon the brink of ruin as a community. 
The pop. was frightfully reduced, taxes had grown 
and increased, and finding it utterly impossible to 
meet its liabilities, the city failed. A thorough sys- 
tem of sanitary reform has since been energetically 
inished forward, until Memphis, once stigmatized as 
" the hot bed of {)estilence and death," has risen to 
be one of the healthiest cities in the U. States. Pop. in 
1870, 40,226 : in 1880 33,593 (of whom 14,896 colored, 
and 2,971 for.).

Miami River, O., rises in Hardin co., flows S. 
and S.W. for a distance estimated at 150 m. passing 
Troy, Dayton, and Hamilton, and falls into Ohio R., 
at tiie S.W. corner of the State, 20 m. W. of Cincin- 
nati. It passes through a picturesque and fertile coun- 
try, is rapid, and admits of navigation for only a por- 
tion of its length. Its principal branches are the W. 
branch and the Mad and Whitewater Rs. The Miami 
canal runs along the river for abt. 70 m. and together 
they furnish extensive power for manufacturing.— 
This river is sometimes called the Great Miami, in dis- 
tinction from the Little Miami, which rises in Clark 
CO. and after flowing S.W. 100 m. nearly parallel with 
the former, falls into the Ohio 6 m. E. of Cincinnati. 

Miam'is, an Indian tribe of the Algonquin fam- 
ily, who once occupied a large part of the W. and N. 
W. of Ohio and a part of Indiana. In 1818 they left 
Ohio, and in 1846 the greater part left Indiana, where 
a few still remain ; 500 people of this tribe were re- 
moved in that year to what is now Linn and Miami 
counties in Kansas, where they have a reservation of 
10,240 acres. They now number but 95, having been 
mostly destroyed by vice and intemperance. A few 
others have become citizens. Many have gone to the 
Indian Territorv and joined themselves to the Peorias 
and Quapaws. The Indiana Miamis are good and 
peaceable citizens, numbering abt. 350. There are a 
very few in Michigan.

IVIivliia^siii {mish't-g'n), a N. central State, 
bounded NT by Lake Superior, E. by Lake Superior, 
St. Mary's R., Lake Huron, St. Clair R. and Lake, 
the Detroit R., and Lake Erie, S. by Ohio and In- 
diana and W. by Lake Michigan and Wisconsin. It 
is situated between lat. 41° 45' and iS" 20' N., and 
Ion. 82° 25' and 90° 34' \V. The State comprises two 
peninsulas entirely separated from each other. The 
upper peninsula is 318 m. in length from P2. to W. 
and from 30 to 160 m. wide ; the lower peninsula has a 
length of 280 ni. and a breadth of 250 m. The area 
of Mich, is 58,915 sq. m. The E. shore of Lake Erie 
is low and swampy, thickly wooded and drained by 
several small and sluggish streams. Further inland the 
country is rolling and picturesque, with hills from 
lOO to 200 feet high. Along the water-shed between 
the lakes there is an elevation of 600 or 700 feet. 
Bordering Lake Superior is a rough primary forma- 
tion, with rugged hills and deep valleys. The " Pic- 
tured Rocks " are sandstone bluffs from 200 to 300 
feet high, which have been worn by the waves into 
curiously fantastic forms. The highest elevations of 
the northern peninsula are from 1,500 to 2,000 feet 
above the level of the sea. Four great lakes wash 
the shores of this State, which together constitute 
one half the fresh water on the globe. In the north- 
ern peninsula there are many small lakes covering 
from one to a thousand acres. There are, it is said, 100 
streams which empty into the lakes, but most of 
them are of small size. Grand R., is 270 m. long, 50 
rods wide and navigable for steamboats to Grand 
Rapids, 40 m. The St. Joseph is 30 rods wide for 120 
m. from its mouth. Other streams which emi)ty into 
Lake Michigan are the Kalamazoo, Muskegon, Man- 
istee and Grand Travers. The Saginaw (navigable 
for 40 m.). Au Sable and Sheboygan empty into 
Lake Huron. Menomonee R. forms a part of the 
W. boundary of Mich. The Detroit and St. Clair form 
the outlet of the great lakes and are navigable for the 
largest vessels. — ^Forthe purposes of description the 
Lower peninsula of Mich, may be divided by E.and W. 
parallel lines into three grand divisions, to be known 
as the Southern,Middle and Northern. TheS. division, 
embracing four tiers of cos. , comprises the oldest and 
most developed section of the State, and its rural 
portions are devoted entirely to agriculture. The 
Middle division embraces the'next three tiers of cos., 
and comprises what is generally known as the prin- 
cipal pine lumber region of the State. Where 
the native forests have been cleared away the coun- 



try is rapidly developing agricultural resources, while 
lumbering enterprises are advancing northward. The 
N. division is the newest and least settled portion of 
the peninsula, being, in a great part, unimproved. 
The Upper peninsula may, in like manner, be sepa- 
rated into three divisions by a line drawn due south- 
ward from Marquette Bay to Green Bay, and by a 
line drawn from the head of L'Anse Bay to the head 
of Montreal R., where it becomes the W. boundary 
of the State. The E. division is principally agricul- 
tural and is mostly in a state of nature. The Middle 
division is conspicuous for its resources of iron which 
yield already enormous products. The W. division 
includes what is known as the Mineral Range, and is 
famous for its copper mines besides possessing val- 
uable agricultural lands. — The climate of the S. parts 
of the State is considerably milder than that of the 
N., proportionate to their respective difference in 
latitude and for other reasons which have a bearing 
on the climate character of countries. In the S. parts, 
not only all kinds of cereals are raised in abundance 
and superior quality, but also apples, pears, cherries, 
plums, and the more delicate peach trees and grape- 
vines are cultivated with decided success. The cli- 
mate in the N. parts of Mich, is nowhere so severe as 
to prevent the cultivation of winter Avheat and the 
principal ordinary farm and garden products. There is 
a difference of abt. two or three weeks in the setting 
in of the spring,and the same time earlier the hibernal 
weather sets in in the fall in the most northern parts 
of the State, compared with the most southern dis- 
tricts, but the growing seasons in the north parts of 
the State is sufficiently long to bring all the ordinary 
farming crops to maturity, excepting Indian com, 
and even this in some seasons ripens there before 
the frosts appear. Potatoes planted in the N. districts 
not only yield prolific harvests, but are generally con- 
sidered as of superior quality to the tubers raised in 
the S. part of the State; turnips,carrots, radishes, and 
cabbage attain in the virgin soil of these N. frontier 
lands a really astonishing size,rarely observable in the 
best manured gardens in the S. The mean tempera- 
ture of Lansing,as determined by 18 years of continu- 
ous meteorological observations taken at the State 
agricultural college, is46° 71'. — The northern penin- 
sula with some exceptions is rugged and has a poor 
soil. It is however, well timbered with white pine, 
spruce,hemlock,birch, oak, aspen, maple, ash, and elm. 
Much of the southern is occupied by oak openings 
aud pi'airie, with a large portion of forest, in which 
walnut, sugar maple, oak, hickory, ash, basswood, 
elm, linden, locust, dogwood, beeoh, sycamore, 
cherry, pine, hemlock, spi-uce, tamarack, cypress, 
cedar, and chestnut are the prevailing growths. 
White pine forms the chief wealth of the N. half of 
this peninsula. — Notwithstanding the enormous 
wealth of Mich, in otherresources, it is in agriculture 
in which at least half of its active pop. is employed, 
that it develops its greatest eminence. Its iirincipal 
products in 1880, according to the U. States census of 
that year, were 1,204,316 bush, of barlev, 413,062 of 
buckwheat, 32,461.452 of corn, 18,190,793of oats, 294,- 
918 of rye, 10,897,600 of potatoes, 800,712 tons of hay, 
and 85,532,543 bush, of wheat (for which last jiroduct 
Mich, ranked 4th amongthe States, Illinois, Indiana, 
and Ohio leading. Other staples are produced, for 
which the last official accessible returns are as fol- 
lows: Hops, 828,269 lbs.; honey, 280,321 lbs.; butter, 
4,101,912 lbs.; maple sugar, 4,319,793 lbs. The num- 
ber of farms in 18S0 was 119,769, containing 11,077,- 
166 acres, of which 6,374,385 were improved. The 
average size of farms was abt. 92 acres. Number of 
farm animals was 3.54,005 horses, 4,576 mules, 416.900 
milch cows, 764,166 oxen and other cattle, 1,930,656 
sheep, and 506,437 swine. At the census of 1880 Mich, 
ranked 4th among the States (Ohio, California and 
Texas each leading) in the production of wool. la

tlie census year, 1,964,952 sheep were sheared, pro- 
ducing 10,7iM,107 lbs. of wool, or 5.45 lbs. per clip. 
— Noted for its wheat, its wool and its fruit, Mich, 
is also the first of the U. States in its production of 
lumber, salt, charcoal, pig iron, and copper, and in 
the extent of its fresh water fisheries, first in the value 
and probably first in the amount of its yield of iron 
ore, and among the most advanced in its general 
manufacturing and commercial development. While 
a few States excel it in the volume of their crops, 
and some in the aggregate of their industrial statis- 
tics, none can equal it in the magnitude and diver- 
sity of its resources, taken together. For more than 
a score of years lumbering has been the chief manuf. 
interest of Mich., and no State equals it at the present 
time in the extent and value of its lumber pro- 
ducts. The product of 1881 is estimated at 3,- 
919,500,000. The large total is that of sawed lumber 
pine alone and is exclusive of shingles, laths, staves, 
and long timber, whose product possesses an annual 
value of many millions. The Saginaw valley is the 
seat of immense salt manuf. from inexhaustible un- 
derrunning brine which is procured by boring deep 
wells and pumping. Mich, product of salt exceeds 
that of any other State, the value of product for the 
census year 1880 being at $3,271,913, while New York 
comes second with $1,106,74X). The copper mines of 
Lake Superior are said to be the richest in the world, 
with the exception of those in Chili. They form 4 
districts : the Ontonagon, located at the base of 
Keweenaw Point, and yielding now but small returns; 
the Keweenaw, covering the N. extremity of the 
Point, and containing rich fissure veins ; the Portage 
lake, which includes the famous calumet conglom- 
erates, belongingto the Calumet and Hecla Company 
which employs over 2,000 men and supports two 
flourishing villages; and Isle Royal, a narrow rocky 
island near the N. shore of the lake. The jield of 
19 mines in 1880 was 938,960 tons of ore valued at 
$7,979,232, which was '90.48 per cent, of the entire 
product of the U. States. The iron districts of Mich, 
are chiefly in Marquette and Menominee cos. The 
ores are of extraordinar}' richness, 62 9-10 per cent, of 
metal being given by the State Geologist as the aver- 
age per centage of first class ores, while fortunes have 
been made in Pennsylvania in mining 40 per cent, 
ore. The greater part of the ore mined in the upper 
peninsula is shipped in its natural condition and re- 
duced into iron by the coke and anthracite furnaces 
of other States. The furnaces of Mich, use charcoal 
and produce a superior quality of pig iron. In 1880, the 
yield of 43 mines was 1,834,712 tons of ore, valued at 
16,034,648. There are great plaster mills at Grand 
Rapids, and the grindstones of the Huron co. quarries 
have no superior in the northwest. Mich, especially 
excels in its manuf. of railroad cars of all grades, 
agricultural implements, furniture, stoves, wooden 
ware, paper and paper pulp, wagons and car- 
riages, matches and cut tobacco. The annual prod, 
of its flouring-mills, planing-mills, sash and door 
factories, foundries, machine shops, cigar factories, 
tanneries, breweries, bakeries, boot and shoe facto- 
ries, and clothing establishments, must in each case 
be estimated by millions. According to the census 
of 1880, Mich, had 8,873 manuf. establishments, 
employing 77,591 hands ; capital invested, $92,- 
930,959 ; wages paid during the year, $24,313,683 ; val- 
ue of material, $92,900,269 ; value of products, $150,- 
715,025. — Mich, has the most productive fresh water 
fisheries in the Union. In 1880 there were 1,781 men 
and 490 vessels of 108,845 tons employed in lake 
fishing, and the catch amounted to 24,013,000 lbs. 
(chiefly whitefish) valued at $711,675.— The State is 
divided into 4 customs districts, viz.: Detroit, Huron 
(port of entry. Port Huron), Michigan (port of entry. 
Grand Haven), and Superior (port of entry, Marquette). 
The foreign commerce in 1882 is carried on wholly 



with Canada. The value of exports was $11,982 419 • 
of imports, $7,527,854. The vessels belonging or re- 
gistered in the State consisted of 498 sailing ves'sels 
of 81,865 tons ; 486 steamers of 92,522 tons, and 105 
barges of 28,071 tons. The vessels built during the 
year were 39 sailing vessels of 11,338 tons, 58 steamers 
of 16,996 tons, and one barge of 445 tons. The num- 
ber of miles of railroad in the State in 1882 was 4,284.— 
A compulsory school law is in force, which compels 
parents and guardians to send all children between 
the ages of 8 and 14 years to school for at least 12 
weeks in the year. In 1881 there were 6,573 schools, 14,- 
469 teachers and 371,613 scholars,who attended school 
in average 150 days. The total expenditure for the 
year was $3,417,508 ; value of school property $9,383,- 
951. In all the larger cities and towns there are supe- 
rior graded schools, and there is a State normal 
school at Ypsilanti. All the older portions of the 
State are well supplied with schools, for which there 
is adequate taxation, and have teachers fully compe- 
tent for their work. In the more sparsely settled parts 
of the State there is a want of better buildings and a 
greater degree of competence on the part of teachers. 
The University of Mich, at Ann Arbor is a State in- 
stitution, in a flourishing condition, the acknowledged 
peer of the foremost in the land. The State agricul- 
tural college at Lansing, founded in 1855 and open- 
ed in 1857, is the pioneer agricultural college in the 
U. States. In addition to these there are the following: 
Wesleyan Methodist college at Adrian, in a healthy 
condition ; a Methodist Episcopal college at the 
beautiful village of Albion, in which there are 113 
male and 100 female students ; a Seventh Day 
Baptist college at Battle Creek, in which there are 
nearly 300 students ; a Congregational college at 
Grand Traverse, a Free Baptist college at Hillsdale, 
a Dutch Reformed college at Holland, and a Baptist 
college at Kalamazoo. Olivet college, at the beautiful 
little village of Olivet, in Eaton cb., was chartered 
in 1848, is under the general care of the Congrega- 
tionalists and Presbyterians, and has nearly 200 
pupils, about equally divided between the sexes. 
The Michigan female seminary at Kalamazoo was in- 
corporated in 1856, is under the control of the 
Presbyterian synod of Michigan, and is modeled 
after the Mt. Holyoke seminary. The Michigan 
military academy, located on the border of a charm- 
ing lake, a few miles from Pontiac, was organized in 
1877. Its course is three years. A part of its instruc- 
tion is military, for which a West Point officer is 
detailed by the war department. Two penal institu- 
tions are owned by the State ; the State prison at 
Jackson, and the house of correction and reforma- 
tory at Ionia, the former having in 1882, 692 inmates 
and the latter 586. The reform school at Lansing, 
opened in 1853, had 325 inmates in 1882. There are 2 
asylums for the insane at Kalamazoo and at Pontiac. 
—Mich, is divided into 79 cos., viz.: Alcona, Allegan, 
Alpena, Antrim, Baraga, Barry, Bay, Benzie, Berrien, 
Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Charievoix, Clieyboygan,

and Detroit the commercial metropolis of the State. 
The constitution adopted in 1850, as several times 
amended, continues in force. The legislature con- 
sists of 32 senators and 100 representatives, who,

together with the governor and other executive 
officers, are elected for a term of two jears. The 
supreme court consists of 4 justices (salary $4,000 
each), elected by the people for 8 j-ears. Treason is 
the oulj' capital crime ; murder is punishable .vith 
solitary imprisonment for life. The State sends 11 
representatives to congress, and has 13 electoral 
votes. The State bonded debt in 1882 was $904, 149, but 
sufficient funds were held in the treasury and appli- 
cable for that purpose, to extinguish it. The receipts 
into the treasury for the year "1881 aggregated $2,- 
607,288.07; expenditures, $2,392,509.01. "The val. 
of taxable prop, in 1881 was $810,000,000.— A mis- 
sion was established at Sault Ste. Marie, by Father 
Marquette, in 16(58; this was the first European set- 
tlement. The French remained in possession until 
1763, when the territory was ceded to Great Britain. A 
bloody war was waged by the Indians under the 
leadership of Pontiac. The Territory of Mich, was 
organized Jan. 16, 1805. The upper peninsula became 
a part of Mich, in 1836, and the State was admitted 
into the Union Jan. 26, 1837. The name Mich, is

length is 340 m.; average depth, 990 ft.; height of 
surface above the ocean, 578 ft. — the same as that of 
Lake Huron. Its shores are generally low and often 
sandy. It has comparatively few bays or very good 
harbors. The principal bays are Green Bay in Wis- 
consin and Grand Traverse Bay in Michigan. It re- 
ceives many streams the mouths of which in some 
instances (as at Chicago, 111.) have by artificial means 
been converted into capacious harbors. Most of the

by the Menominee, and has been rendered navigable 
to the heart.of the city by vessels of any tonnage used 
on the lakes. 

—a S.E. CO., bounded E. by Lake Michigan. It is 
watered by Milwaukee, Menominee, and Root Rs. 
The surface is undulating and the soil calcareous and 
fertile. The chief prod, in 1880 were 212,719 bush, of 
barley, 232,094 of com, 497,409 of oats, 80,683 of rye, 
and 190,294 of wheat. Potatoes and butter are also 
staple prod. Cap., Milwaukee. Val. of taxable prop, 
abt. ?125,000,000. Pop. 138,523 (of whom 55,054 for., 
and 319 colored). 

— The chief city<#> and port of enti-y of the State, cap. 
of above co., on the W. shore of Lake Michigan, 75 
m. E. of Madison, and 85 m. N. by W. from Chicago. 
The lake opposite the city makes an indentation on 
the shore, forming a bay 6m. wide and 3 m. deep, 
which is easy of access at all seasons. It is regarded as 
the best harbor on the S. orW. shore of the lake. The 
climate is peculiarly bracing and healthful, and the 
atmosphere is remarkably clear and pure. The city is 
regularly laid out. The centre, near the Milwaukee 
and Menominee Rs. is the business quarter ; and the 
E. and W. parts, the former of which is built upon a 
high bluff overlooking the lake, while the latter is 
still more elevated, are occupied by residences. The 
material used in building is largely the beautiful 
cream-colored Milwaukee brick. The streets, except 
those in the commercial quarter, are generally well 
shaded. There are three lines of horse cars. The 
principal public buildings are the new county court- 
house, the U. States custom house and post office 
building, the academy of music, the opera-house, &c. 
The chamber of commerce building, finished in 1880, 
is a magnificent structure of solid cut Ohio stone and 
polished Scotch granite. In 1880 also was completed 
one of the finest exhibiting buildings in America, 
built at a cost of .S300,000, and the initial exhibits 
therein, showing the unlimited resources and products 
of the great N.W. was a splendid success. Milwaukee 
has railroad communications with all parts of the 
country by means of theC.,M.&St.P., theC.,c'cN.W., 
the M.,L.S.&W., the W.C, and Western lines. The 
receipts and shipments by those lines are of great 
extent and value ; wheat and flour are the most im- 
portant items. There are 6 elevators for grain, with a 
combined capacity of 3,450,000 bush. In 1882 there 
were belonging to the ports 277 sailing vessels of 58,- 
520 tons, and 83 steamers of 16,736 tons. In 1881 the 
entrances in the coastwise trade were 3,917 steamers, 
of 3,109,445 tons, and 4,541 sailing vessels of 640,247 ; 
clearances 4,039 steamers of 3,110,506 tons, and 4,567 
sailing vessels of 645,035 tons. The manuf. arc ex- 
tensive, and embrace lager beer (which is highly es- 
teemed and widely exported), pig iron, iron castings, 
flour, cement, glass, leather, malt, machinery, agri- 
cultural implements, high wines, tobacco and cigars, 
furniture, brooms, paper, woolens, wagons, soapand 
candles, doors and windows, boots and shoes, steam 
boilers, car wheels, baskets, trunks, and white lead. 
The following table shows a portion of the business 
of the city for 1881, from which some idea can be ob- 
tained of the total annual transactions of Milwaukee 
in all her manifold branches: 

Lumber $ 3,250,000

double rows of trees each side, well watered and 
lighted, has several creditable public edifices and 
many elegant private residences. The site is upon a 
broad esplanade which commands a fine view of the 
falls, and the surrounding couutr}' is noted for its 
beauty. Several picturesque lakes are in the imme- 
diate vicinity, and the celebrated Falls of Minnehaha 
are but 3 m. distant. Minneapolis is connected by 
railroad with St. Paul and Duluth, and has a line of 
steamers which in summer ply on the upper Missis- 
sippi, above the falls, to St. Cloud. Tnc University 
of Minnesota is located here, as well as the Augs- 
burg (Lutheran) Theological Seminary, and Hamline 
University (Methodist). There are 52 churclies, 3 
daily, 15 wkly, and 6 monthly papers, an academy, a 
female seminary, and a business college, an athe- 
naeum, academy of music and opera-house, a spa- 
cious and beautiful cemetery, extensive railroad re- 
pair shops, 2 nat. and 8 other banks, and several 
very extensive commercial establishments. Minnea- 
polis has become the most important milling centre 
of the N.W. Power of immense capacity is funiislicd 
by the Mississippi R., which is here nearly 1,000 ft. 
wide, has a fall of 75 ft. within the space of a mile, 
and has been utilized to the supply of 28 flouring 
mills and several saw mills. The mills have a cajjac- 
ity which demands 20 million bush, of wheat in a 
year, a quantity representing an area of 1,250,000 
acres of land in cultivation. The grain is piu-chased 
by agents representing an association of the millers, 
w'ho canvass the tributary wheat-growing districts 
for 3 months after the harvest of each year, to se- 
cure the bulk of the year's supplies, and forestall 
the competition of Eastern speculators. The wheat is 
distributed among the several mills in proportion to 
their capacity for grinding. While waiting to be 
ground it is stored in the mills, which can take care 
of abt. 2,500,000 bush. ; in the elevators of the city, 
which can hold abt. half that amount : and at out- 
lying stations on the various lines of railroad. The 
total productive capacity of all the mills is computed 
at 28,000 barrels of flour a day. Besides the exten- 
sive system of flouring mills, 17 lumber mills are in 
operation, producing abt. 2,500,000 superficial ft. of 
lumber during the season. Minneapolis was first set- 
tled in 1849, and was incorporated in 1867. In 1872, 
the city of St. Anthony was consolidated with it. 
Pop. in 1860 (within its present limits) 5,822 ; in

Ifliniieso'ta, a river of Minnesota, having its 
source iu a series of lakes on the Dakota border, be- 
tween lat. 45° and 46° N., and pursuing a S.E. 
course for about 320 m. to its confluence with the 
Blue Earth ; then turning N.E. it flows in that di- 
rection for about 120 m., falling into the Mississippi 
at Mendota. Its course is principally in the valley ly- 
ing between the Coteau du Grand Bois and the Co- 
teau des Prairies. For its whole distance from Big 
Stone Lake it has a fall of only 220 ft. It is navigable 
for steamers about 40 m. to a point where at low 
water a ledge of rocks obstruct further progress; but 
ordinarily small boats can ascend to Patterson's 
Rapids, 295 m. from its mouth. 
— a N.W. State., bounded N. by British America, E. by 
Lake Superior and Wisconsin, S. by Iowa and W. by 
Dakota. It is situated between lat. 43° 30' and 49° N.. 
and Ion. 89° 39' and 97° 5' W. The extreme length N! 
and S. is 380 ni. and the extreme breadth E. and W. 
387 ni.; area, 83,365 (of which 4,160 sq. m. is water 
surface). The general elevation of the State is 1,000 
ft. above sea level. In the N. part are the " Heights 
of Land," constituting a water-shed between three 
great river systems — viz., those of the Mississippi 
Valley. Hudson's Bay and the St. Lawrence. The 
most elevated lands reach a height of nearly 1,600 ft. 
about Lake Itasca. Other elevations are : Near Lake 
Shotek, 1,.578 ft.; Lake Pemidji, 1,456 ft.; Leech 
Lake, 1,330 ft. The N.E. section has been character- 
ized as " the region of swamps and bogs." Westward 
of the Mississippi the open rolling prairie begins. A 
gentle descent of 400 ft. leads to the valley "of the 
Red River of the North. This valley, or plain, is from 
30 to 35 m. wide, and "a more complete dead level 
cannot be found in the whole country." The St. 
P.&P.RR. crosses it for 40 m. "without a curve, a 
fill or a cut, save what is necessary to remove the 
sod." Nearl}^ one-third of the whole area of the 
State in the N.E. is almost entirely covered with co- 
niferous forests. The pine region includes 21,000 sq. 
m. The swamps have a growth of tamarac of little 
value for timber. Deciduous trees pi-edominate W. 
of the Mississippi ; the oak, elm and ash are most 
frequent, but every species of tree known to the Up- 
per Mississippi Valley is found here, with the possi- 
ble exception of the beech and sycamore. An im- 
mense forest, known as the Bois Franc by the early 
French settlers, and now as the " Big Woods," ex- 
tends over the centre of the State ; it is 100 m. long, 
40 m. wide and covers an area of 4,000 sq. m., which 
is larger than the combined areas of Rhode Island 
and Delaware. Minn, has a coast-line of 120 m. on 
Lake Superior. Along the N. boundary are the Lake 
of the Woods, Rainy, Mountain and Arrow Lakes. 
Other lakes are the Red, Vermilion, Leech, Winibi- 
goshish. Swan and Mille Lacs. These bodies of water 
are from 1 to 30 m. in diameter, and some of them 
cover an area of 400 sq. m. Manj' of them have no 
visible outlet. There are said to be 10,000 lakes in the 
State, most of which abound in fish and are sur- 
rounded by a heavy growth of timber. The Missis- 



sippi R. rises in Lake Itasca and flows through and 
by the State for 800 m. (for540 m. of which it is nav- 
igable), constituting the E. bouudarv for 135 m. At 
the Falls of St. Anthony it is 350 yards wide and has 
a descent of 58 ft. One of its affluents, the St. Croix, 
navigable for abt. 55 m., constitutes the E. bouudary 
f or 129 m. The Minnesota traverses the lower part of 
the State in a S.E. and N.E. direction, and after a 
course through the State of 450 m., falls into the Mis- 
sissippi at Fort Snelling, 5 m. above St. Paul ; it is 
navigable abt. 300 m. The Red R. of the North rises 
in Elbow Lake, flows through several lakes, running 
in a S.W. direction, and then turning N. forms the 
W. boundary for 379 m.; it is navigable abt. 250 m. 
In the N.E. part is the St. Louis R., which falls into 
Lake Superior, and is important as the first link in 
the chain of lakes and rivers of the St. Lawrence sys- 
tem ; and in the S.W. are the head waters of the Des 
Moines, abt. 135 m. long, of which abt. 20 are navi- 
gable. These with their tributaries and a host of 
lesser streams, penetrates every portion of the State. 
Some of the water powers furnished by these streams 
are among the finest in America, and will contribute 
to the future manufacturing importance of the State. 
— The elevation of Minn, above the sea, its fine drain- 
age, and the dryness of the atmosphere, gives it a 
climate of unusual salubrity and pleasantness. It has 
an annual mean temperature of 4i° 6', while its mean 
summer temperature is 70° 6', the same as that of 
middle Illinois. Its high latitude gives it correspond- 
ingly longer days in summer than States farther 
S., and during the growing season there are 2i hours 
more sunshine than in the latitude of Cincinnati. 
This, taken in connection with the abundant rainfall 
of early summer, accounts for the rapid and vigor- 
ous growth of crops in Minn., and their early matur- 
ity. The winter climate is one of the attractive fea- 
tures of the State. Its uniformity, freedomf rom thaws 
and excessive spells of coldand severe weather, make 
out-door life andlabora pleasure. These features tend 
to make the climate the healthiest "n ihe Union, and it 
is the resort for thousands of invalids from eastern 
States. Actual statistics taken in 1881, show that the 
average mortality was 1 in 84, or about 1.25 percent.; 
whereas the births run in the ratio of 3 to 1 of the 
deaths. — The agricultural development of Minn, 
evinces the richness of its«oil, audits favorable cli- 
mate. The statistics of 1881 show that in that year 
there were 81,089 farms, and a cultivated area of 4,- 
729,536 acres. Wheat is the prorainei't cereal culti- 
vated, and embraces 66.59 per cent, of crops produced 
in 1880. The average yield of wheat per acre for 12 
years, was 14.5 bush., showing Minn, to be almost un- 
excelled in the product of this great staple. Th e aggre- 
gate yield in 1880 was 39,-399,068 bush. The other 
principal products exhibitedbvthecensusof 1880were 
39,399,068 bush, of corn, 2,972", 965 of barley, 41,750 of 
buckwheat, 23,382,158 of oats, 215,;M5 of rye, 4,888,- 
040 of potatoes, and 1,577, 702 tons of hay The statis- 
tics of live stock in 1881 gives the number of horses 
as 226,061; cattle (of all kinds), 584,573 (of which 
milch cows comprise 228,955) ; sheep, 267,315 ; hogs, 
238,987. The wool clipin 1881 was 923,170 lbs. Daiiy 
products are rapidly increasing. In 1880 there were 
15,69.3,283 lbs. of butter, and 419,994 lbs. of cheese 
made. Creameries and cheese factories are springing 
up in every neighborhood. Fruit raising has not, as 
yet, become general. In 1880, only 275,(H)0 apple trees 
in bearing were reported.— Although the leading in- 
dustries of the State are agriculture and lumbering, 
the manufacturing branch is rapidly becoming large. 
The main branches now carried on are the products 
of lumber in various shapes, flouring, agricultural 
machinery, brewing,fumiture, boots and shoes, cloth- 
ing, wagon making, etc., although new branches of 
industry are beina: opened every day. The lumber and 
flour manufacturing are the principal industries, and

enlist more capital than all the other lines. In 1880 
there were 540,997,000 ft. of white pine scaled (in- 
cluding 187,836,000 8hingles and 88,088,000 laths). In 
the belt of hard wood extending W. and S. of the 
pine region, the cut for the census year 1880 (exclu- 
sive of 7,825,000 staves and 547,000 sets headings) was 
36,884,000 ft. During 1881, 3,142,974 lbs. of flour were 
ground at Minneapolis. — Navigable waters to the ex- 
tent of 1,500 m. afford good facilities for trade. 
The State comprises the U . States customs district of 
Duluth, andthatofMinnesota(p()rtof entry, Pembina 
on the RedR. ).TheimportsatDuluthin 1882amounted 
to $50,989, and the exports to $.59 1,492. In Minnesota 
district the imports were §9.54,162; exports, $3,721,972. 
The chief articles of export were oats, flour, and lum- 
ber. Tiie building of railroads has been very brisk for 
several years past. In 1S62, the State had only 10 m. 
of railroad ; in 1882 there were 3,780 m. in operation. 
— There are extensive and valuable mineral deposits 
in Minn., which only await capital and development 
to add to the wealth and manufacturing industries 
of tlie State. On the N. shore of Lake Superior, ex- 
tensive masses of copper exi.st. Iron ore of a valua- 
ble quality and in large quantity is found around Por- 
tage and Knife Rs. Recently the existence of a large 
bed of magnetic iron ore has been discovered in and 
near St. Paul. Gold quartz is found at Vermillion 
Lake. Plumbago also exists on the N. shore. Build- 
ing material, granite, brown stone, limestone, sand 
stone, brick, clay and potters' clay are also abundant. 
— In no State is more liberal provision made for edu- 
cation than in Minn. By its organic act, two sections 
of land in each township are set apart for this pur- 
pose, and the State constitution provides that the 
proceeds of this land shall remain a perpetual school 
fund for the State, the income of which shall be used 
to pay forthe schofiling of its children. This fund 
(Jan. 1, 1881), was $4,830,862, and the interest on it 
for 1881 wasdivided amongst 177,278 scholars. There 
were 4,101 school houses in the State, valued at $3,- 
1.56,210. Thenormal schools of the State are Sin num- 
ber, situated at Winona, Mankato and St. Cloud. The 
university of Minn, at Minneapolis is the crowning 
institution of the public and free system of education 
in the State , It has a collegiate or elementary depart- 
ment, and beyond this department of agriculture, 
science, literature and the arts, and the mechanic 
arts, and is to have also schools of law and medicine. 
The most prominent among the private institutions 
of learning are: Carletou college, at Northfield , 
Groveland seminary, at Wasioja; Afton academy, at 
Afton ; St. Mary's female academy and St. Paul 
female seminary, at St. Paul. The public institutions 
are the State prison at Stillwater, a reform school for 
boys and girls at St. Paul, a hospital for the insane at 
St. Peters, an asylum for the deaf, dumb and 
blind at Faribault, and a soldiers' orphans' 
home at Winona. — The State is divided into 79 cos., 
viz.: Aitkin, Anoka, Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Big 
Stone, Blue Earth, Brown, Carlton, Carver, Cass,

Rochester, St. Cloud, St. P.aul (the cap.), and Win- 
ona. — Minn, is governed under the constitution adop- 
ted Oct. 13, 1857. The legislature consists of a senate 



of 41 members, elected for 2 years, and a house of 
representatives elected for one year. The governor 
and other executive officers are elected for 2 years. 
The judiciary comprises a supreme court, nine dis- 
trict courts, and a probate court in each co., besides 
justices of the peace, who have jurisdiction where 
the amount in dispute does not exceed $100, and 
where the title to real estate is not involved. 
The supreme court consists of 3 judges, elected for 
7 years. The State sends 5 representatives to con- 
gress and has 7 electoral votes. The bonded State 
debt in 1883 was .$4,3.39,000. The valuation of property 
was: real estate, $242,938,170, personal property, 
$79,219,445 ; total, $322,157,615. The revenue of the 
State in 1881 was $1,715,406.— Minn., which m the 
Sioux language signifies " smoky water," was the 
name given to the principal river. Father Hennepin 
visited the Falls of St. Anthony's in 1680. On the 8th 
of May, 1689, possession was taken of the country in 
the name of France. The authority of the U. States 
was extended over it in 1812. Minn. Territory was 
organized March 3, 1849, and on May 11th, 1858, it 
was admitted into the Union as the 32d State. Pop. 
in 1850, 6,077 ; in 1860, 172,023 ; in 1870. 439,706 ; in

males ; 513,097 natives and 267,676 of foreign birth, 
776,884 whites, 1,564 colored, 25 Chinese, and 2,300

Mississippi (Indian Miche Sepe, the Great 
River), the largest river of North America, and in 
length of navigable tributaries, and in extent of fa- 
cilities afforded to commerce, the greatest river in 
the world. It rises in Minnesota, on the dividing 
ridge between the waters which flow into Hudson's 
Bay and those flowing into the Gulf of Mexico, and 
so near the source of the Red River of the North that 
in times of freshet their waters have been known to 
commingle. It is, at its source, 3,160 m. from its 
mouth, a rivulet flowing from a small pool fed by 
springs. Thence it flows through a number of pools 
or ponds, each larger than the preceding one, until 
it expands into Itasca Lake, whence it emerges as a 
stream of some size, and soon becomes a river. It 
first flows N. through Cass, Sandy, and other lakes, 
and then, turning toward the S., rolls downward to 
the Gulf of Mexico, passing over more than 18 de- 
grees of latitude. Between the source and the Falls 
of St. Anthony are many rapids and waterfalls, but 
the only one of any magnitude is the Pecagama 
Rapids, 685 m. above St. Anthony. From these 
rapids down to the St. Anthony Falls, the river is 
navigable, and much of the scenery is very beautiful. 
The Falls of St. Anthony form an insuperable bar- 
rier to navigation, and here the St. Louis steamers 
stop. From St. Paul to Dubuque the river flows be- 
tween abrupt and lofty bluffs, distant from each 
other from 2 to 6 m. and rising from 100 to 600 ft., 
the valley or bottom being very beautiful, filled with 
islands, and intersected in every direction by tribu- 
taries of the Mississippi, and by the various channels 
and " sloughs" of the river itself. The bluffs are 
principally of limestone ; they are almost uniformly 
vertical and rugged, and nearly destitute of vegeta- 
tion, exceptat the base and summit. There are gran- 
deur and sublimity in every mile of this portion of 
the river ; but it becomes monotonous after a time. 
Below Dubuque, the valley continues to preserve the 
same general characteristics, but the bluffs are lower 
and more like hills, and the scenery, though still 
beautiful, is tamer. Below Alton it begins to assume 
more the appearance of the " Lower River" (as the 
portion below St. Louis is called) ; and the waters, 
turbid and muddy, roll on a mighty torrent between 
banks often low, flat, and sandy, and tne vegetation 
continually more and more tropical in its nature. 
The lower part of the river is so much flooded after 
the ramy season that there is often a space of inun- 
dated woodland from 30 to 100 m. in width ; large 
swamps and bayous, also, are found during the 
whole year, on both sides the river; and, indeed, the 
whole country, nearly as far up as Natchez, 427 m. 
from its mouth, presents nothing but a swampy wil- 
derness, the habitat of alligators, and subject to epi-

demic and other diseases most inimical to human 
life. The lower part of the Mississippi, for 30 m. 
above its delta, as far as the head called Plaque- 
mines, is a reedy marsh, without trees and contain- 
ing only a few fishermen's huts, and a residence for 
pilots at Balize ; in fact, nothing can well be con- 
ceived more dreary than the aspect of the river, even 
as far as 70 m. above the mouth. The term "pass" 
is applied to all the outlets of the Mississippi from 
the point when the river divides into numerous chan- 
nels or outlets to their termination in the Gulf. All 
these passes are seriously obstructed by bars of blue 
clay mud, over which the depth of water is some- 
times very shallow. By act of congress approved 
March 3, 1875, a contract for the construction of 
jetty-work at the mouth of South Pass, in order to 
secure and maintain a navigable channel from the 
pass into the Gulf of Mexico. The work progressed 
80 successfully that at the beginning of 1880 there 
was in South Pass a wide and ample channel of 23^ 
ft., and for the greater length of the channel be- 
tween the jetties, over or through the bar, a channel 
of 28 to 35 ft. in depth. The Mississippi recipient of 
all the waters flowing E. from the Rocky Mts., and 
W. from the Alleghanies, is subject to periodical in- 
undations, the effect of which is greatly heightened 
by the flatness of the circumjacent country in the 
lower part of its course. To .secure the land from 
these inundations, immense embankments, or levees, 
as they are generally called, have been formed along 
the Mississippi, and the canals or bayous through 
which its waters overflow. The principal of these 
levees commences at the head of the Island of Or- 
leans, and extends down the stream for abt. 130 m. 
The river, however, not uufrequently bursts through 
this dyke, and submerges the adjoiningcountry. The 
facilities afforded by the Mississippi and its various 
tributaries for internal navigation are wholly un- 
equalled, except, perhaps, by the Amazon and its 
feeders, in S. America. And vast as are its natural 
capacities for navigation, they have been greatly ex- 
tended by canals and connection with our wonderful 
system of railroads. It is also united with the grand 
chain of lakes and the basin of the St. Lawrence ; 
and goods taken on board at New York may be trans- 
ported to New Orleans without being unshipped. 
— a S.W. State bounded N. by Tennessee, E. by Ala- 
bama, S. by the Gulf of Mexico and Louisima and 
W. by Louisiana and Arkansas. It is situated be- 
tween lat. 30° 13' and 35° N. and Ion. 88° 7' and 91° 
41' W. Its extreme length from N. to S. is 331.65 m. 
audits breadth from E. to W. 210m.; area, 46,810 
sq. m. Along the Gulf of Mexico the country is low 
and sandy, with frequent cypress swamps and 
marshes. The central part of the State is hilly or un- 
dulating and interspersed with prairies. A belt of 
level country, covered with forests and designated 
as the " flat woods," extends from the N. boundary 
through the E. cos. half the length of the State, and 
terminates in Kemper co. In the N.E. is a carboni- 
ferous formation, elevated some 500 or 600 ft. above 
the level of the sea. Bluffs extend along the Missis- 
sippi K. as far N. as Vicksburg. Above that city the 
bottom lands stretch to the Tennessee line, with a 
width of 50 m. As far E. af^ the Yazoo and Talla- 
hatchie Rs. the ground is low and swampy. Nearly 
7,000 sq. m. are liable to inundation. The levees 
were neglected during the war, and large tracts once 
cultivated have become the prey of the river. The 
waters remain stagnant in the morasses, lagoons and 
slashes, which are the retreats of alligators, snakes, 
lizards and swarms of venomous insects. The Missis- 
sippi R. forms the W. boundary of the State for more 
than 500 m. Its principal aflluents are the Yazoo, 290 
m. long, navigable as far as the junction of its two 
branches, the Tallahatchie and Yalabusha ; the Big 
Black, 200 m. long and navigable for 50 m.; the 



Bayou Pierre and Homochitto. The Tennessee R. 
forms the N.E. boundarj^ for 20 m. The Tombigbee 
rises in this State and is navigable for steamboats to 
Aberdeen. Pearl R., which forms a part of the boun- 
dary between Miss, and La., is 250 m. in length, and 
small boats navigate it for 100 m. The Pascagoula, 
which flows into the Gulf of Mexico, has a broad bay 
at its mouth, in which the depth of water is only four 
ft. Every part of the State is well watered, and the 
river system affords more than 2,000 m. of steamboat 
navigation. The coast line on the Gulf of Mexico is 
88 m. in length. None of the harbors are deep 
enough for the admission of large vessels. A chain 
of low islands extends beyond Mississippi Sound abt. 
10 m. from the main land. In the S.E. Are extensive 
and dense groves of pine, principally of the long- 
leaved variety. Live-oak and red cedar, for ship- 
building, are abundant. Except in the Mississippi 
bottom, where malarial fevers frequently occur in 
summer, the State is generally healthy. The summers 
are long and hot, the winters somewhat colder than 
in the same latitude on the Atlantic coast. The iso- 
thermal lines which cross the State are : Spring 65° 
70°; Summer, 80°-82°; Autumn, 65°-70°; Winter, 
45°-55°; annual means, 60°-70°. — The soil of the 
Mississippi bottom is very fertile. The region E. of 
this, characterized by the deposits of yellow loam, is 
generally fertile, though in places easily exhausted. 
The N.E. portion, except the prairies, is less produc- 
tive. The cane hills and the central belt of the State 
possesses a generally productive soil. The S. region 
has a generally poor and sandy soil, particularly 
along the coast. Miss, is almost exclusively an agri- 
cultural State. Cotton and Indian corn are the staple 
crops. Wheat and other grains are grown in the 
North, and rice and sugar cane in the South. All the 
fruits of temperate cliniates grow here in perfection ; 
plums, peaches, and figs are abundant, and in the 
South the orange. The deer, couguar (commonly 
called panther), wolf, bear, and wild cat are still 
common. Paroquets are seen as far N. as Natchez, 
and wild turkeys and pigeons abound. Oysters and 
fish are abundant in Mississippi sound. — According 
to the census of 1880, the number of farms was 75,205 
comprising 13,813,000 acres, of which 4,895,000 were 
in cultivation. The principal products for the census 
year were 21,340,800 bush, of corn, 1,959,620 of oats, 
218,890 of wheat, 955,808 bales of cotton, 526,625 
galls, of molasses, and 1,718,951 lbs. of rice. The 
live stock consisted of 112,309 horses ; 129,778 mules; 
61,705 working oxen, 268,178 milch cows, 387,452 
other cattle, 287,694 sheep, and 1,151,818 swine.— 
Very little attention has been given to manufactures. 
The census of 1880 reported 1,479 manufacturing 
establishments,employing 5,827 hands ;cap. invested, 
$4,727,600; wages paid during the year $1,192,645 ; 
value of material, $i,6B7,183 ; value of products, 
$7,518,302. Among the leading articles were lumber, 
grist-mill products, and cotton goods $679,093 the pro- 
duct of 8 cotton mills, working 644 looms and 18,568 
spindles. — The foreign trade is carried on largely 
through New Orieans and Mobile. Cotton and lum- 
ber are the chief exports. The coasting and river 
trade is large. The coasting trade is chiefly directed 
to Mobile and New Orleans, while the Mississippi R. 
trade centres in the latter, and that of the Tombig- 
bee in Mobile. The railroads terminating at these two 
]iorts and at Memphis are also large carriers of mer- 
chandise. There are three customs districts : Nat- 
chez, Pearl River (port of entry, Shieldsborough), 
and Vicksburg. The direct foreign and the coasting 
trade are centred entirely in the district of Pearl R. 
The value of foreign commerce for the year 1882 was 
$.535,.534, ft., almost entirely exports, including 
22,5.57 m. ft. of boards, and 1,500,923 cubic ft. of tim- 
ber. The number of entrances in the foreign trade 
was 100, of 56,405 tons ; clearances, 116 of 59,439

tons. The number of vessels belonging in the State 
was 192 of 9,720 tons, viz. : Natchez, 5 of 254 tons ; 
Pearl R., 158 of 6,110 tons ; Vicksburg, 29 of 3,356. 
In 1882 there were 1,231 m. of railroad in the State. 
— Free public schools are required by the constitu- 
tion for all between the ages of 5 and 21 years. In 
1881 the number of educable children was 175,251 
whites and 251,488 colored; enrolled in public schools, 
112,994 whites, and 123,710 colored ; average daily 
attendance 72,881 whites and 83,880 colored ; teachers 
emploved, 8,255 whites and 2,314 colored ; total school 
expenditures, §880,704. The University of Miss, in- 
cludes a preparatory department and three general 
departments, viz., scientific, literary and professional. 
In 1881 there were 329 students in the literary de- 
partment and 18 in the lower department. The in- 
come of the university is little above the amount 
needed for current expenses. It is greatly in need of 
a library building and books to put in it ; the law 
department has no building ; and a good refracting 
telescope ought to be provided for the observatory. 
One good building can be made to accommodate both 
the library and law department. The greatest need 
of the university, however, is good schools of a high 
grade in different parts of the State to prepare boys 
for the university, and to excite in them a desire for 
education. To have these schools there must be a 
supply of competent teachers, and to meet this de- 
mand there must be established a normal school for 
the special training of teachers. A normal depart- 
ment could be established and maintained at the uni- 
versity at a comparatively small expense. The agri- 
cultural and mechanical college had, in 1881, 354 stu- 
dents matriculated, and the average attendance was 
over 200. Alcorn agricultural and mechanical col- 
lege is as prosperous as the improverished condition 
of the colored people of the State will warrant. 
There were in attendance 160 students in 1881. The 
State normal school is doing much good in educa- 
ting the colored youth of both sexes. The educa- 
tional institutions of the State are almost exclusively 
for the instruction of young men. No facilities have 
been provided by the State for the instruction of fe- 
males in the higher branches of learning. The peni- 
tentiary contained, in 1881, 876 convicts, of which 
782 were colored, 93 white, and 2 Indians. The insti- 
tutions for the deaf and dumb and for the blind are 
designed to be training schools rather than asylums. 
The asylum for the insane 442 inmates in 1881. All 
of the above institutions are located at Jackson. — 
Miss, is divided into 74 COS., viz.: Adams, Alcorn, 
Amite, Attala, Benton, Bolivar, Calhoun, Carroll,

ington, Wayne, Wilkinson, Winston, Yalobusha, 
Yazoo. The cities are: Canton, Columbus, Grenada, 
Holly Springs, Jackson (the cap.). Meridian, Nat- 
chez and Vicksburg. — The State is governed under 
the constitution approved Nov. 30, 1869. The legisla- 
ture, which meets annually, consists of 37 senators 
and 115 representatives, elected for 2 years. The 

fovernor and other executive officers are chosen for 
years. The supreme court consists of 3 judges ap- 
pointed by the governor and confirmed by the senate, 
who hold office for 9 years. The State sends 7 repre- 
sentatives to congress, and has 9 electoral votes. 
The total debt of the State in 1882 was $2,363,251. 
The valuation of taxable property was $116,289,810 



(realty $79,712,851 ; personalty, $86,576,959). In 1682 
La Salle took possession of this region in the name 
of the king of France, and called it Louisiana. In 
1699 a fort was erected on the bay of Biloxi. The 
Choctaws, Chickasaws, Natchez and other Indians 
were bitterly hostile, and committed great depreda- 
tions upon the settlers. Miss. Territory was organized 
April 7, 1798. On the 10th of Dec, 1817, Miss, was 
admitted into the Union as the 20th State. An ordi- 
nance of secessionwas passed Jan. 9, 1861. Biloxi was 
captured by the Federal forces, Dec. 31, 1861. Vicks- 
burg, after along siege, was captured by the Federal 
troops, July 4, 1863. On the 22d of August, 1865, the 
ordinance of secession was repealed. The 14th and 
15th amendments were ratified in Jan., 1870; Con- 
gress passed an act of readmission, Feb. 23, 1870.

IWissouri (Indian, mud river), the pnncipal 
tributary of the Mississippi, rises in the Rocky Mts., 
and takes its name after the union at Gallatin City, 
Montana, of 3 branches denominated Jefferson, Gal- 
latin, and Madison. The springs which give rise to 
the Missouri are not more than a mile distant from 
some of the head waters of the Columbia, which 
flows W. into the Pacific Ocean. At the distance of 
411 m. from the extreme point of the navigation of 
its head branches, are what are denominated the 
"Gates of the Rocky Mts.," which present a view 
exceedingly grand. For the distance of 55 m. the 
rocks rise "perpendicularly from the margin of the 
river to the height of 1,200 ft. The river is compressed 
to the width of 150 yards, and for the first three 



MIS 



654 



MIS 



miles, there is only one spot, and that only of a few 
yards, on which a man could stand between the 
water and the perpendicular ascent of the mountain. 
At the distance of 110 m. below this, and 521 m. from 
its source are the Great falls, 2,575 m. above its en- 
trance into the Mississippi. The river descends, by a 
succession of rapids and falls, 357 ft. in abt. 16.J m. 
The lower and greatest fall has a perpendicular pitch 
of 87 ft.; the second of 19 ft.; the third ot 47 ft.; the 
fourth of 26 ft. Between and below these falls are 
continual rapids of from 3 to 18 ft. descent. The 
course of the river above these falls is northerlj'. 
The Yellowstone R., 800 yards wide at its mouth, 
probably the largest tributary of the Missouri, enters 
it on the S.W. side, 1,216 m. from its navigable 
source, and abt. 1,880 m. from its mouth, on the border 
of Montana and Dakota. This river, at the place of 
junction, is as large as the Missouri. Steamboats as- 
cend to this place, and could go farther to the Great 
Falls almost at the very base of the mountains. Its 
other principal tributaries are the Little Missouri, 
Big Cheyenne, White Earth, Niobrarah, Platte or 
Nebraska, Kansas, and Osage on the right, and the 
Milk, Dakota, Big Sioux, Little Sioux, and Grand on 
the left. The Missouri enters Mississippi R., 3,096 m. 
from its source, which added to 1,253 m., the dis- 
tance to the gulf of Mexico, makes its whole length 
4,349 m. Through its whole course, there is no sub- 
stantia] obstruction of the navigation, before arriving 
at the great falls. Its principal tributaries are each 
navigable, from 100 to 800 m. The alluvial, fertile 
soil on this stream and its tributaries is not very 
broad, and back of this are prairies of vast extent. 
Through the greater part of its course the Missouri 
is a rapid and turbid stream, and in the upper part 
of its course, flows through an arid and sterile coun- 
try. It is over half a mile wide at its mouth, and 
through a greater part of its course it is wider. Not- 
withstanding it drains such an extensive country, 
and receives so many large tributaries, at certain 
seasons it is shallow, hardly affording sufficient water 
for steamboat navigation, owing to its passing through 
a dry and open country, and being subject to exten- 
sive evaporation. 

— a central State, bounded N. by Iowa ; E. by Illinois, 
Kentucky, and Tennessee, from which the Mississippi 
R. divides it; S. by Arkansas; and W. by Indian terri- 
tory, Kansas, and Nebraska, from which it is divided 
by a N. and S. line on the meridian of the mouth of Kan- 
sas R., and thence N. by the main channel of the Mis- 
souri R. It is situated between lat. 36° and 40° 30' N., 
and Ion. 89° 2' and 95° 42' W.; length N. and S. 277 m.; 
average breadth abt. 244 m., varying from 208 m. in the 
N. to 312 m. in the S.; area, 69,415 sq. m., including 
a narrow strip between the St. Francois and Missis- 
sippi Rs. in the S.E. The State presents a variety of 
surface and of soil. South of Cape Girardeau, with 
the exception of some bluffs along the Mississippi, it 
is alluvial, and a large proportion consists of swamps 
and inundated lands, most of which are heavily tim- 
bered. From thence to the Missouri R., and west- 
ward to the dividing ridge between Gasconade and 
Osage Rs., the country is generally covered with 
timber, rolling, and in some parts quite hilly ; but 
no parts of the State are properly mountains. Along 
the head waters of Gasconade and Big Black Rs., 
the hills are frequently abrupt and rocky, with fertile 
alluvion along the water courses. Much of this region 
abounds with various minerals, as lead, iron ore, 
gypsum, manganese, zinc, antimony, cobalt, ochres, 
common salt, nitre, plumbago, porphyry, jasper, 
chalcedony, buhrstone, marble and free stone. The 
lead is inexhaustible in quantity and rich in quality. 
The iron ore of this region is sufficient to supply the 
whole U. States for many thousands of years. Bitu- 
minous coal exists in inexhau.stible abundance. The 
W. part of this State is divided into prairie and for- 



est land, and much of the soil is fertile. The whole Is 
undulating, and along the Osage it is hilly, abound- 
ing with good water, salt springs and limestone. N. 
of the Missouri, the surface is diversified, and divided 
between timber and prairie land. From the Missouri 
to Salt R. good springs are scarce, and in several cos. 
artificial wells are dug, to be filled with rain water 
from the roofs of houses. Between Salt R. and Des 
Moines R. is a beautiful country, with a very fertile 
soil. In the middle cos. N. of the Missouri the sur- 
face is rolling, and there are some bluffs and hills, 
with considerable good prairie, and much timber. 
To the W. of this, and also to the N., the prairie pre- 
dominates. Much of the prairie land in this State is 
inferior to the same kind of land in Illinois. But in- 
dependently of some barren and inundated land, the 
State contains a great proportion of fertile soil. In- 
dian corn, wheat, rye, oats, hemp, tobacco, flax, 
sweet potatoes, and in the S.E. parts cotton, are 
produced. Grapes are extensively cultivated in sev- 
eral COS., and large quantities of wine are annually 
produced. The forest trees and underwood, black 
and white, are walnut, oak of various kinds, locust, 
ash, Cottonwood, papaw, yellow poplar, sycamore, 
dogwood and grape vines. In the S. part of the State 
cypress and red cedar are found. On Gasconade R. 
abt. 100 m. above its confluence with the Missom-i, 
the timber is principally yellow and white pine, 
which is very valuable, being rare in the valley of 
the Mississippi. The State "is particularly rich in 
minerals. The lead region, the centre of which is 70 
m. S.W. of Missouri, is 70 m. long, and 45 wide, cov- 
ering an area of 3,150 sq. m. The greatest part of 
this countr)' is situated in Washington and St. Fran- 
cis COS., but a part extends into iSt. Genevieve and 
Jefferson cos. The ore is of the i-ichest kind. It 
jields from 80 to 85 per cent, of the true metal. Iron 
ore is equally abundant. In the S.E. part of Wash- 
ington CO. is the celebrated " iron mountain" filled 
with micaceous oxide of iron, which yields 80 per 
cent, of the pure metal. There is another body of 
iron ore denominated Pilot Knob, which is equally 
rich. Washington co. is a perfect bed of metallic 
treasures. — The Mississippi winds along the entire 
boundary of the State, for a distance of 400 m., and 
receives the waters of the mighty Missouri, which 
crosses the State, and deserves to be regarded, on 
account of its length, and the volume of its waters, 
as the parent stream. The Missouri receives La Mine, 
Osage, and Gasconade Rs. on the S. side, and Grand 
and Chariton Rs. on the N. side. Salt R. crosses the 
N.E. part of the State and enters Mississippi R., 85 
m. above the mouth of Missouri R. Des Moines R. 
forms a part of the N.E. boundary of the State. 
Meramee R. rises near the head waters of Gasconade 
R., and after a devious course N.E., enters the 
Mississippi 18 m. below St. Louis. St. Francis, Cur- 
rent, Big Black, and Whitewater Rs. drain its S.E. 
part. — The climate is healthy, though subject to 
great extremes of heat and cold. The extreme range 
of the thermometer is from 100° above zero to 8° be- 
low. But these extremes are short, and not of fre- 
quent occurrence. The Missouri is frozen so hard as 
to be safely crossed by loaded wagons for a number 
of weeks in winter. 'The air is generally dry, pure 
and salubrious. — According to the U. States census 
of 1880, the coal mined during that year, from 144 
mines in 13 cos., was 543,990 tons, valued at 81,037,- 
100. The jield of 48 iron mines in 8 cos. was 386,197 
tons of ore, valued at $1,674,875. The yield of 3 cop- 
per mines in Ste. Genevieve co. was 1,051 tons of ore, 
valued at $25,730. The principal agricultural prod- 
ucts for the census year 1880 were, 123,031 bis. of 
barley, 202,485,723 of corn, 20,670,958 of oats, .535,426 
of rye, 24,966,627 of wheat, 6,621,720 of potatoes- 
1,147,770 tons of hay, 11,027,720 lbs. of tobacco, and 
20,318 bales of cotton. Among other valuable prod- 



MIS 



655 



MIS 



ucts may be enumerated hemp (which grows of the 
finest quality on the strong soils bordering the Mis- 
souri R. and in the elm lands of Marion and other 
COS.), flax, sorghum, broom corn, flax seed, grass 
seeds, castor beans, peanuts, honey and dairy pro- 
ducts. The dairy interest is large and increasing. No 
State has greater advantages for the manufacture of 
choice butter and cheese than this. The live stock 
on farms in 1880 consisted of 667,776 horses ; 193,027 
mules ; 9,030 working oxen ; 661,405 milch cows, 
1,410,507 other cattle; 1,411,398 sheep ; and 4,553,123 
hogs. — Mo. had, in 1880, 8,593 manuf . establishments, 
employing 63,995 hands ; capital invested, $73,507,- 
844 ; wages paid during the year, $34,309,716 ; value 
of materials, $110,798,393 ; value of products, $165,- 
386,305. The manuf. interests of Mo. embraced a 
great variety of fabrics. Iron especially is worked in 
large quantities, and into almost every conceivable 
kind of articles. The city of St. Louis ranks third in 
the Union in the value and variety of its manufac- 
tures. — The foreign commerce of the State, though 
of considerable amount, is all indirect, it having lit- 
tle or no direct importations, and St. Louis being 
hardly more than nominally a port of entry for for- 
eign commerce. The ports of New Orleans, Chicago, 
Milwaukee, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and 
Norfolk afford it all necessary facilities for this pur- 
pose. Its domestic or interior commerce is of vast 
amount, and is transacted with all parts of the conti- 
nent. Over the trans-continental railways and the 
Mississippi R. its freights of provisions, merchandise, 
gold, silver, quicksilver, lead, copper, iron and coal 
reach hundreds of millions, while its exportation 
eastward and southward of flour,grain,hardware, iron 
castings, pig iron, and a great variety of other prod- 
ucts amounts to still greater sums. The amount of 
this traffic through the State annually must greatly 
exceed $1,000,000,000.— Mo. had 38 m. of railroad in 
1853 ; in 1860, 817 ; in 1870, 3,000 ; and in 1883, 4,311 
of main track and branches. — The educational pro- 
visions of Mo. are commensurate with the magnitude 
of its territory and of its population. The available 
revenues from all sources for school purposes are 
nearly $4,000,000. The total permanent invested 
school funds amount to $7,278,000. There are in the 
State over 8,000 public school houses, with abt. half 
a million attendant scholars, instructed by 13,000 
teachers. These schools are free to all children of 
proper age within their respective districts. The large 
towns and cities have graded and high schools. 
Many of them possess spacious, convenient and hand- 
some school buildings. The public school system of 
St. Louis has for many years ranked among the 
highest and most efficient in the Union. Kansas City, 
St. Joseph, Hannibal, Brookfield, Chillicothe, Se- 
dalia and Springfield are speciallj' noted for theirex- 
cellent public institutions of learning. Numerous 
private institutions, doing good work, are found in 
all the larger towns and cities. The State has provided 
for the education of teachers by the establishment and 
maintenance of three State normal schools at Kirks- 
ville, Warrensburg and Cape Girardeau. Lincoln in- 
stitute, at Jefferson City, is devoted to the education 
of colored teachers, and receives annually a liberal 
State appropriation. The State university at Colum- 
bia ranks high as an institution of liberal and thor- 
ough culture. At this place, and as a department of 
the university, is located the State agricultural col- 
lege. With it is connected an experimental farm of 
640 acres. At Rolla is a school of mines and metal- 
lurgy. At St. Louis, St. Joseph, Springfield, Colum- 
bia, Hannibal, Palmyra, Canton, Fayette, Glasgow, 
Independence, Kidder, Liberty, Fulton and in other 
cities are denominational seminaries, academies and 
colleges, including, among others, law, medical, 
theological and polytechnic schools. — The State is 
divided Into 114 cos., viz.: Adair, Andrew, Atchison,

— The State is governed under the constitution of 
1865, as several times since amended. The legislature, 
which holds biennial sessions, consists of 34 sen- 
ators elected for 4 years, and 131 representatives elec- 
ted for 2 years. The governor and other State officers 
are elected for 3 years. The supreme court consists of 6 
judges elected by the people for 6 years, and divided 
into two sections. Mo. sends 13 representatives to 
congress, and has 15 electoral votes. The State debt 
in 1881 was $16,359,000. The valuation of taxable 
property was $509,369,785. — Mo. was visited by 
Joliet and Marquette in 1673. The first settlement 
was made at Ste. Genevieve, in 1755. Up to 1751 there 
were but 6 settlements within 100 m. of the present 
site of St. Louis, which was founded in 1764. A com- 
bined attack upon the town by the British and Indians 
was successfullv repulsed. The territory was pur- 
chased by the u. States from the French in 1803, as 
a part of Louisiana. Mo. was admitted into the Union 
as the 34th State, Aug. 10, 1821. Early in the civil 
war there were conflicts between the State militia 
and the U. State troops. Governor Jackson issued a 
proclamation declaring the State out of the Union. 
The battle of Wilson's Creek, in which Maj.-Gen. 
Lyon was killed, was fought Aug. 10, 1861. Maj.- 
Gen. Fremont declared martial law throughout the 
State on the 31st of August. In the early part of 1863 
the Confederate troops held half of Mo., until Gen. 
Price was driven into Arkansas by a strong Federal 
force. A distressing guerrilla warfare kept the in- 
habitants in continual alarm. To the Federal side 
108,773 soldiers were furnished during the war. Gen. 
Price again invaded Missouri in 1864, and was again 
forced to retreat. Pop. in 1810, 30,845 • m 1840, 383,-

Mo1>ile, Ala. , a river and bay in the S. part of 
the State. The river Mobile is formed by the conflu- 
ence of the Alabama and Tombigbee. A few miles 
below this point it divides into two branches, the 
eastern one of which takes the name of Tensas, the 
western retaining that of Mobile. Before reuniting, 
both these streams separate into several other subdi- 
visions, all of which meet in one common embouch- 
ure at the head of Mobile Bay. The length of the 
Mobile R. is abt. 50 m., and its general direction is S. 
In the lower part of its course the banks are marshy 
and alluvial. — The bay of Mobile is abt. 30 m. in 
length from N. to S., with a general widthof 10 or 
12 m., except where it expands on the S.E.into the 
subsidiary bay of Bon Secours, which extends some 
8 or 10 m. further to the E. The entrance from the 
Gulf of Mexico, between Mobile point on the E. and 
Dauphine island on the W., is abt. 3 m. wide, and is 
commanded by Fort Morgan on Mobile point, and 
Fort Gaines on Dauphine island. The bay has another 
outlet on the southwest through Grant's pass, N. of 
Dauphine island, which communicates with Missis- 
sippi sound. Through this channel steamers and other 
vessels of light draught generally pass when plying 
between Mobile and New Orleans. The bar in front 
of the main entrance of the bay admits of the pas- 
sage of vessels drawing 21 or 22 ft. The ordinary an- 
chorage for ships is 4 or 5 m. within the entrance of 
the bay. The whole of the upper portion of the bay 
is shallow, and is supposed to be gradually filling up 
with sedimentary deposits from the rivers that flow 
into it. There is"a light-house on Mobile point ; an- 
other on Sand island, 3 m. S., immediately in front 
of the entrance ; and one at the head of the bay, a 
little below the city of Mobile. 

—the most S.W. co.; area, 1,200 sq. m. It is bounded 
E. by Mobile R. and Bay, S. by the Gulf of Mexico, 
and W. by Miss. It is generally level, sandy, and cov- 
ered with pine forests. Rice and lumber are leading 
prod. The co. has important commerce and manu- 
factures, chiefly carried on at Mobile, the cap. Val.

situated on a sandy plain gently rising from the riv- 
er's bank, is regularly built, well paved, lighted, and 
shaded, has a tine supply of water from Spring Hill, 
5 m. distant, has 6 lines of street railroads, and en- 
joys a climate usually healthy, though subject to 
occasional ravages of yellow fever. The suburbs em- 
brace several beautiful hills, upon which are the 
summer residences of the wealthier citizens, and 
which afford a healthful resort in seasons of epi- 
demic. The harbor is extremely shallow, but has 
been of late so much improved that vessels drawing 
13 ft. of water can now reach the wharves. Mobile 
has 2 nat. and 4 other banks, 9 insurance companies, 
30 churches, 2 daily and 3 wkly papers, an extensive 
public school system, besides numerous private 
schools, a Jesuit college at Spring Hill, an academy,

fine market-house, with municipal offices above, an 
extensive export trade, chiefly in cotton and naval 
stores, of lumber, rosin, and turpentine, and a mod- 
erate import trade, of which coffee forms the most 
important article. The value of exports for the year 
1880 was $6,219,818 ; of imports, $544,628. The annu- 
al entrances from foreign ports average about 50, and 
from domestic ports 130, of which 65 sailing vessels 
of 7,328 tons, and 40 steamers of 6,667 tons in aggre- 
gate were owned here in 1880, the latter plying upon 
the Alabama, Tombigbee, and Black Warrior Rs. 
Mobile was founded in 1702 by Lemoyne de Bienville 
as the cap. of Louisana, which it continued to be 
until 1723. It passed to England in 1763 ; was cap-

Monta'na, a territory, bounded N. by British 
America, E. by Dakota, S. by Wyoming and S. W. 
and W. by Idaho. It is pituated between lat. 44° 10' 
and 49° N., and Ion. 104° and 116° W. The extreme 
length from E. to W. is 550 m., the breadth 280 m., 
and the area 146,080 sq. m. Mont, is naturally divi- 
ded by its physical conformation into four sections. 
The N.W. district, between the Rocky and Bitter 
Root Mts., is broken and rugged, and intersected by 
many mountain spurs. The N. district, extending for 
350 m. along the Milk and Missouri Rs., is an o\)&a. 
plain, destitute of trees, and descending towards the 
E. at the rate of five feet to the mile. The S.E. sec- 
tion is more i-olling and better wooded. The S.W. sec- 
tion, containing 15,000 sq. m., is mountainous and 
covered with dense forests. Among the highest 
mountains are Electric Peak (10,992 ft.). Emigrant 
Peak (10,629), Mount Delano (10,200) and Mount 
Blackmore (10,134). Three-fifths of the territory is a 
broad open plain, and the mean elevation is 3,950 ft. 
Towards its S. boundary it dips into that remarkable 
region, the Yellowstone national park, a part of 
which is within its limits. "In this ' Land of the 
Mountains,' or Toy-a-be Shock-up, as the Snake In- 
dians call it, there is a loneliness, silence, and sub- 
lime giandeur that is exceedingly impressive. Every 
one feels it when entering the territory, and It seems 
to hold them ever afterward. The solitudes are so 
profound, the mountain heights so awe-inspiring in 
their magnificent proportions, that man is overpow- 
ered by them. No noises break upon the air ; even 
the birds and animals are mute. Above there is a sky 
of serene beauty, and all around an atmosphere that 
is purity itself. No noisome exhalations from stag- 
nant pools and decaying vegetation are encountered, 
nor is there anything to mar the harmony of the 
scene. On every hand rise gigantic peaks, many of 
them covered with perpetual snow, and away off in 
the distance may be traced the sinuous courses of 
rivers and streams, whose banks are bordered with 
thick growths of trees and bushes." A. G. Brackett. 
Thrf e of the great continental rivers rise within the 
borders of Mont., one of which, the Yellowstone, 
navigable for a distance of 450 m., lies wholly with- 
in its boundaries ; and the Missouri, from its source, 
"The Three Forks," is carried nearly a thousand 
miles on Montana soil, or about one-quarter of its en- 
tu-e length, while in the valleys of the W. slope 
gather the waters that unite to form the great Colum- 
bia that pours its flood into the Pacific. It is estimated 
that fully three-fifths of the surface of the territory 
is suitable for agricultural purposes, and nearly 
another fifth could be added to cover the extent of 
surface adapted for grazing. Early frosts may occa- 
sionally interfere with the ripening cereals, but as 
a rule the seasons compare favorably with many of 
the more southerly points on the eastern plains. The

rainfall of this region is slight in comparison with 
many other districts on the same parallel, but the 
streams that flow from ihe mountain ranges furnish 
an abundant supply of water for purposes of irriga- 
tion, which, as a basis of agriculture, is far more re- 
liable and secures better results. " By the most con- 
servative," says the U. States surveyor of Montana 
(Report of Aug. 19, 1882), "the pop. of Mont, is es- 
timated at 55,000, and the increase of the last two 
years is made up almost wholly of the producing 
classes, many agriculturists having been attracted to 
the E. portion of the territory by the progress and 
liberal policy of the N.P.RR., while the rich grasses 
of the many valleys, such as the Judith, Musselshell, 
Tongue River, and the Yellowstone, have attracted 
the attention of stockmen generally, many having 
moved their ranches from Wyoming and other points 
to the more attractive grazing lands of Montana. 
The Lower Yellowstone and its tributaries, especially 
those from the S., flow through first-class arable 
lands, and in many cases are capable of producing 
crops without irrigation. The advance of the 
Northern Pacific in 1883, has been rapid, and with 
the close of the present season the road will be in 
operation to Bozeman, llO m. from Helena. The 
Utah and Northern branch of U.P.RR., has been ex- 
tended to Deer Lodge, 40 m. W. of Helena, and is 
being extended N. to a connection with the Northern 
Paciflc. With the opening of another season Mont. 
is, therefore, bound to receive a material increase in 
pop. from immigrants looking for homes. Here is an 
immense territory where a larger proportion of pro- 
ductive lands are open to pre-emption than in any 
other equal area of the U. States. Stock-raising is an 
important industry, and is growing rapidly ; but the 
most attractive of all pursuits is that of mining, upon 
which depends the future prosperity of this territory. 
From 1863 to the close of the year 1880, Mont, has 
added to the permanent wealth of the world, 
in gold and silver, over $160,000,000, and the produc- 
tion of bullion for 1882 aggregated at least $7,000,000. 
As the production of silver is on the increase, a 
larger total may be expected in the future from year 
to year. With the advent of railroads cheaper trans- 
portation facilities will be afforded, and a lower 
grade of ore may be profitably worked than has 
hitherto been possible. Bullion and ore may be more 
cheaply shipped and all the necessaries of life greatly 
reduced in cost, and labor, therefore, rendered more 
reasonable. Lewis and Clarke and Jefferson cos., 
contain several rich mining districts, among which 
may be mentioned Red Mt. and Ten Mile, Belmont, 
Wickes, Clancy, and the Gregory district. Virginia 
City is one of the oldest and most productive of the 
gold placer mining districts. Among the most prom- 
ising of the newly discovered districts, Clarke's Fork, 
or Cooke City, as it is now known, situated near the S. 
boundary of the territory, in the restored portion of 
the Crow Indian reservation, has attracted considera- 
ble notice of late. The district surrounding the town of 
Butte is in the lead as regards production, and the 
great richness of the mines is scarcely known out- 
side of Mont. There are 7 mills, 4 smelters and 3 con- 
centrators now in operation, yet the facilities for 
treating ore are entirely inadequate. The Alice 
company operates 65 stamps in one mill, which is 
the largest dry crusher in the world. With the com- 
pletion of the N.P.RR. and other lines in construc- 
tion or contemplation, and with the increase in her 
mining industries, it may be justly predicted that 
Mont, is about to enter upon a field of development 
and growth of which the surrounding territories have 
hitherto held the supremacy." The assessment val. 
of taxable prop, in Mont, for the year 1881 was as 
follows : 434,700 acres of land and improvements, 
$8,511,646; 7,147 town lots and improvements, $3.- 
030,773; 63,114 horses, $3,406,338; 3,267 mules and 



asses, $151,907; 260,403 sheep, $739,328; 353,440 cat- 
tle, $3,694,871; 8,347 hogs, $38,348. The Territory 
of Mont, was established by act of congress, May 
26, 1864, and is governed as the other Terri- 
tories of the Union. It is divided into 13 cos., 
viz.: Beaver Head, Choteau, Custer, Dawson, Deer 
Lodge, Gallatin, Jefferson, Lewis and Clarke, Madi- 
son, Meagher, Missoula and Silver Bow. The princi- 
pal towns are : Bozeman, Butte City, Deer Lodge 
City, Dillon, Fort Benton, Helena (the cap.). Miles 
City, Missoula, Radersburg, Virginia City and White 
Sulphur Springs. Pop. in 1870,' 20,595 ; in 1880, 39,-

natives, and 11,521 of foreign birth, 35,385 whites, 
346 colored, 1,765 Chinese and 1,663 taxed Indians). 
The tribal Indians, according to the report of the 
commissioner of Indian affairs for 1883, number 18,- 
705. Their reservations are divided into 5 agencies, 
viz.: Blackfeet, Crow, Flathead, Fort Belknap and 
Fort Peck.

Willi each other, compii!<ing the island of Nantucket, 
the islets of Tuckernuck and Muskeget, and the 
Gravelly and Swyle Islands adjacent to it on the W.; 
aggregate area, 48 sq. m. Nantucket island is situa- 
ted in the Atlantic ocean, 18 m. S. of Cape Cod, 85 
m. S.E. Boston, and is separated from Martha's Vine- 
yard on the W. by a channel 8 ni. wide. It is of an 
irregular triangular foim, abt. 16 ni. long from E. to 
W., and for the most part from 3 to 4 ni. wide, with 
an area of abt. 45 sq. m. It has a level surface in the 
S., and is slightly hilly in the N. The soil is light, 
and with the exception of sonic low pines, the island 
is treeless. There arc several jionds containing fine 
fish. Farming and fishing are the chief occupations 
of the people, the surrounding waters abountling in 
fish of various kinds. The climate is mild in winter 
and cool in .summer, and the island has of late be- 
come a favorite summer resort. It constitutes a cus- 
toms district, but has little commerce. There is a 
light-house on Sankaty Head (lat. 41° 17' N.,lon. 69° 
67' 35" W.), near the S.E. extremity of the island; 
another, known as Nantucket light, on Sandy or 
Great Point (lat. 41° 23' 22", Ion. "70° 2' 25" ), at the 
N.E. extremity ; and several W. of the entrance to 
Nantucket Harbor. Wrecks are not infrequent. Nan- 
tucket shoals, about 50 m. long and 45 m. wide, are 
S.E. of the island, and are dangerous to navigation. 
There are 2 p. vs., Nantucket on the N. side of" the is- 
land, and Siascoijset on the S.E. Nantucket Harbor 
is deep and secure, thongh the entrance is obstruct- 
ed by a bar with only 7i ft. of water at low tide. 
Steamers run daily to Wood's Hole on Cape Cod, 
coniicctiijg with railroad for Boston. The v. of Nan- 
tucket, ]i. ♦ and caj). of the co., has a nat. and a sav- 
ings bank, 2 wkly papers, the Collin high school, and 
an atheniEum containing a museum of marine curios- 
ities and a library of 4,500 volumes. Nantucket has 
been chiefly noted as a seat of the whale fishery, hav- 
ing been at one time the chief whaling port of the 
world. The town increased in size and prosperity till 
1846, when it was visited by a severe conflagration, 
destroying property to the value of nearly $1,000,000. 
After this the whale fishery and with it the prosper- 
ity of the town rapidly declined. Pop. in 1840, 9,012 ;

IVasliiia, N.H., a city<^ and one of the capitals 
of Hillsborough co., at the junction of Merrimack 
and Nashua Rs., on the B.,L.&C., the W.&N., and 
the N.&R.RRs., 35 m. S, of Concord, and 40 m. N. 
N.W. Boston. The streets are broad, well lighted, 
and lined with trees, and many of the churches and 
residences are handsome. Its prosperity depends 
upon its railroad facilities and its manufactures. 
Water-power is obtained from the Mine Falls in 
the Nashua R., from which a canal has been cut, 
3 m. long, 60 ft. wide, and 8 ft. deep, with a head and 
fall of 36 ft. The Jackson company, with 766 looms

I^asliville, Teiin., the cap. and metropolis of 
the State, also cap. of Davidson co., is a beautiful 
and prosperous city, pleasantly located on the S. 
bank of Cumberland R. ,200 m. above its junction 
with the Ohio, on L.&N. and N.,C.&St.L.RRs., 233 
m. E.N.E. Memphis, and 240 m. S.S.W. Cincinnati. 
The city rests upon a series of hills composed of 
solid limestone, and a range of hills surround it, 
presenting a fine panoramic view from all sides. Two 
bridges connect Nashville with Edgefield, on the 
other side of the river, which now forms part of the 
city. Not another city in the South can claim so 
great a number of impo.siug public structures, in- 
cluding educational, religious, society and other in- 
stitutions. On Capitol Hill, overlooking the city, is 
situated a State Capitol, built of Tennessee granite, 
and one of the finest and costliest buildings in the 
U. States. The new custom-house, built in the point- 
ed Gothic style, is also one of the most beautiful 
buildinsrs of the kind in this co. The Exposition build- 
ing completed in 1880, and capped by a magnificent 
dome, is admirably arranged and commodious. The 
State penitentiary buildings occupy three sides of a 
hollow square enclosed by a massive stone wall, 
within which are numerous workshops. The Her- 
mitage, the celebrated residence of Andrew Jack- 
son, is 12 m. E. of Nashville. The city has several 
lines of street railway. It is lighted with gas, and is 
supplied with water by expensive works, which 
raise it from the river to four reservoirs. The princi- 
pal charitable and reformatory institutions are the 
state institution for the blind, several hospitals, two 
orphan asylums near the city, the city workliouse, 
and a house of industry for females. About 6 m.

the chief commercial centre and wholesale market 
S. of the Ohio R. It requires an average of S5,000,- 
000 to handle the cotton crop which comes into it. 
The tobacco trade is also of great magnitude. The 
dry goods business aggregates $4,000,000 annually ; 
the liquor-trade abt. the' same; the boot and shoe 
interest amounts to $2,000,000 annually ; while the 
grocery, provision, drug, furniture, coal, and other 
trades show an actual business of over .^50,000,000 
annually. The city is supplied with a paid tire de- 
partment, with steam-engines and an electric fire- 
alarm telegraph. It has a cotton factory, 7 saw and 
5 flouring mills, 8 planing and sash factories, 2 cot- 
tonseed-oil mills, 2 tanneries, 4 furniture and 4 car-

Nebras'lca, a W. State, bounded N. by Dako- 
ta, E. by Iowa and Missouri, S. by Kansas and Colo- 
rado, and W. by Colorado and Wvoming. It is situa- 
ted between lat. 40° and 43° N., and Ion. 9o°;21' and 104° 
W. The extreme length from E. to W. is 412 m., and 
the breadth from N. to S. 208 m.; area, 76,855 sq. m. 
The surface of Neb. is exceedingly varied. There are 
indeed no elevations that can be dignified with the 
name of mountains, but in the N. and W. parts of the 
State there are lofty hills of very varied character. 
Generally the ascent is gentle, though occasionally it 
is precipitous. In the Eastern States, the body of hills 
is mainly made up of massive rocks ; here it is partly 
composed of loosely compacted drift materials. 
Along the Niobrara and White Rs., extending into 
Dakota, are " sand-hills," exhibiting only a scanty 
vegetation, and very difficult to traverse on account 
of the loose sand. Abt. 20,000 sq. m. of this forma- 
tion are unfit for cultivation and almost destitute of 
timber. In fact. Neb. emerged so recently, geologi- 
cally, from the waters of the loess age, that it still 
exhibits, as a whole, many of the phenomena of a 
recently drained lake bed. The gently rolling lands 
of three-fourths of the State appear very much like 
the suddenly petrified waves and billows of the 
ocean. Sometimes extensive stretches of surface are 
met with that appear to be level, but closer obser\-a- 
tion shows even these to be gently undulating. From 
these last mentioned forms to the few isolated sec- 
tions of limited extent, broken by canons with pre- 



NEB 6i 

cipitous sides, the transition is gradual. Every shade 
of form and surface connects the two varieties of 
reliefs. The bottom lands are the most conspicuous 
modifying feature of the landscape of the State. In 
crossing the State at right angles to the direction of 
the streams, the bottom lands are met with every 
few miles. They are huge, generally shallow, troughs, 
in breadth proportionate commonly to the size of the 
streams. They range in width from a quarter of a 
mile on the smaller streams to 23 m. on the Platte 
and the Missouri. They are frequently terraced, and 
the terraces, like broad steps, gradually lead to the 
bordering bluffs, which, in turn, are very varied in 
height and form. The bluffs are steepest and rough- 
est on the Missouri, especially towards the N. line of 
the State. On the middle Niobrara they frequently 
assume the exceptional character of borders to deep 
canons. Even on the Missouri there are very few 
that cannot be successfully cultivated.— Minerals 
have not yet been found to any considerable extent, 
and the scarcity of coal renders more valuable the 
extensive beds of peat found in some parts of the 
State. The salt basins of Neb. are rich and extensive. 
The principal one is located in Lancaster co., sur- 
rounding the city of Lincoln, and embracing an area 
of 12 by 25 m. The brine from the springs yields 29 
per cent, by weight of good salt. In the same co. 
there are inexhaustible quarries of .sandstone, which 
is very soft when quarried, but hardens by exposure 
to the air. Blue limestone is found near the head 
waters of Salt Creek, and near Lincoln; also a 
beautiful gray magnesian limestone, as susceptible 
of fine pofish as Italian marble. Fossil remains of 
great interest to geologists have been discovered in 
great quantities. Indian hieroglyphics which ante- 
date the traditions of all living tribes are cut deep 
in the bluffs along the Missouri R. in places now in- 
accessible—Geologists are of the opinion that the 
prairies have grown no trees during the present geo- 
logical era, but many fossils remains of tropical and 
sub-tropical vegetation are found in the tertiary for- 
mation. Since the prairie fires ceased many young 
trees have beenplanted,which grow with great rapidi- 
ty. One farmer set out 120,000 trees in a single year. A 
Cottonwood, 7 years old, measured 2 ft. 6 inches in 
circumference ; a maple, 10 years old, 2 ft. 8 inches ; 
a locust of the same age, 2 ft. " The common trees 
can be raised from the seed, as well as corn or beans," 
Bays Prof. Hayden's Report. Peach trees bear in 3 
years and apple trees in 4 or 5 years. The indigenous 
trees, growing chiefly along the water courses, are 
the Cottonwood, soft maple, elm, butternut, bass- 
wood, oak, black walnut, honey locust and willow. 
Timber is most abundant in the S.E. counties. The 
number of forest and fruit trees planted during the 
census year 1880 was : 57,769,894 forest trees, 2,209,- 
627 fruit trees and 467,636 vines.— The Missouri R. 
forms the whole of the E. boundary of Neb. The 
Platte, or Nebraska R., from which the State re- 
ceived its name, is a broad and shallow stream, ford- 
able almost everywhere at low water. Its principal 
tributaries are the Coldwater, Loup Fork, and Elk- 
horn. The S. part of the State is drained by the 
various branches of the Kansas R., of which the 
largest are the Republican Fork, Little Blue and Big 
Blue Rs. The N. cos. are drained by the Niobrara, a 
rapid stream 400 m. long, which forms a part of the 
N. boundary and empties into the Missouri. Along 
the streams are wide fertile bottomlands with a rank 
vegetation. The soil has a siUceous marl, like the 
" loess " along the Rhine. Sometimes the vegetable 
humus extends to a depth of from 10 to 20 ft. From 
2 to 4 tons of grass or 52 bushels of wheat to the 
acre is not an uncommon yield. A height of 6 ft. is 
attained by the " blue joint " grass. The upland soil 
is 18 or 20 inches thick. It is claimed that there is 
hardly a foot of land in E. Neb. which is not suscepti-

ble of cultivation. The winters are not very long ; 
open weather continues until the end of Nov. and 
spring weather begins with March. Corn is planted 
in April. High winds sweep over the plains, and the 
storms are sometimes of terrible severity. The cli- 
mate is dry and exhilarating ; the mean temperature 
in winter is abt. 22°, and in summer abt. 70°. The heat 
of the summer is tempered by the prairie winds, and 
the nights are generally cool. According to the obser- 
vations made by the U. States signal service at Oma- 
ha (lat. 41° 16', Ion. 96°), the annual mean as indicated 
by the barometer was 29.9 inches; thermometer, 48.1°; 
total fall of rain, including snow, 34.8 inches ; pre- 
vailing wind, S.E. The greatest amount of rain falls 
in May and June. — The principal agricultural prod, 
for the year 1880, according to the census of that year, 
were as follows: barley, 1,744,686 bush.; com, 65,- 
450,135; oats, 6,555,875; rye, 424,348; wheat, 13,847,- 
007 ; potatoes, 1,086,750 ; hay, 564,564 tons. Neb. 
had of improved lands, 3,498,906 acres, and unim- 
proved lands (not public), 9,768,375 acres. There is 
no part of the U. States better adapted for stock rais- 
ing than the prairies of Neb. Throughout the State 
there are hundreds of small herds of from 20 to 100, 
and on the plains in the extreme western part of the 
State there are large herds numbering hundreds and 
thousands that rarely taste other food than the w'ild 
grasses and hay made from them from the begining 
to the end of the year. These rich grasses cost the 
herdsman not a farthing They have fed the buffalo, 
deer and antelope for centuries, and are to-day the 
richest legacy these far-reaching prairies offer to man. 
The gulches and canons furnish shelter for cattle and 
sheep, and two months of spring grazing fits them 
for the prime markets. The live stock in 1880 con- 
sisted of 198,381 horses, 675,244 cattle, 20,032 mules, 
194,959 sheep, and 767,702 hogs.— In 1880, there were 
in Neb. 1,403 manuf. establishments, employing 4,- 
793 hands ; capital invested, $4,881,150 ; Mages paid 
during the year, $1,742,311 ; value of materials, $8,- 
208,478 ; value of products, $12,627,335. Manuf. in- 
dustries and trade are largely progressing since 1880. 
— Neb. had in 1882, 2,310 m. of railroad in operation. 
The school lands occupy 2,700,000 acres, which, at 
the estimated value of $7 per acre, would afford a 
school fund of $18,000,000. These lands are sold to a 
limited extent only, the larger prpportion being 
leased on 20 years' time at 6 per cent, interest on the 
appraised value. Although the State is yet so young, 
quite a handsome income is being derived from this 
source, and in the years to come it will be an immense 
source of revenue to to the common schools of the 
State. Aside from these common schools the State 
supports a well-equipped university at Lincoln, a nor- 
mal school for the instruction of teachers, an insti- 
tute for the blind at Nebraska City, an institution 
for deaf and dumb at Omaha, and a State reform 
school at Kearney (organized in 1882). The revenue 
applied to common school purposes for the year 1880 
amounted to $1,108,617.23. In the year 1880 there 
were organized in the State 3,132 school districts to 
meet the needs of 142,348 children within the school 
age, out of which 92,549 are enrolled. The teachers 
employed numbered 4,100, and the amount i)aid for 
salaries was $549,200.41, the average salary per month 
for males being $36.12 and females $31.93. The 
school houses numbered 2,701, and the value of 
school property, including sites, buildings and furni- 
ture, $2,064,768.- The State is divided into 70 cos., 
viz.: Adams, Antelope, Boone, Buffalo, Burt, Butler, 
Cass, Cedar, Chase, Cheyenne, Clay, Colfax, Cum- 
ing, Custer, Dakota, Dawson, Dixon, Dodge, Doug- 
las, Dundy, Fillmore, Franklin, Frontier, Furnas,

governor and other executive officers are elected for 
two years, except the auditor, who is elected for 
four years. The legislature consists of a senate and 
a house of representatives, whose members are elect- 
ed for 2 years. The legislature meets biennially on 
the Thursday after the first Monday in Jan., odd 
years. An act was passed during the session of 
1881, apportioning the State into 31 senatorial 
and 59 representative districts, and defining their 
respective limits. The act assigns one member 
to every senatorial district, except the 7th and 
16th, which may elect two senators each, and 
from one to eight members to every representative 
district, in proportion to its extent and pop. In con- 
sequence of this apportionment, the members of the 
legislature has been numerically increased — in the 
senate from 30 to 33, and in the house of representa- 
tives from 84 to 98. The judiciary comprises a su- 
preme court, district courts, probate courts, and 
justices of the peace. The supreme court consists of 
a chief justice, and two associate justices, elected tor 
a period of 6 years. Neb. sends 3 representatives to 
Congress and has 5 electoral votes. The State debt 
in 1882 was $499,267. The State receipts for the two 
years 1881-1882 were $1,943,307 ; disbursements. $1,- 
814,211. The val. of taxable prop, in 1882 was $98,- 
537,475. — This territory was organized in accordance 
with the Kansas-Nebraska act passed May 30, 1854. 
Parts of Colorado and Dakota were included within 
its original boundaries. Indian outrages marked the 
early history of Neb., as of every other new State. 
On the 1st of March, 1867, Neb. was admitted into 
the Union as the 37th State. Pop. in 1860, 28,841 ; in 
1870, 122,993; in 1880, 452,402 (of whom 249,241

Nevada, aW. State, bounded N. by Oregon and 
Idaho, E. by Utah and Arizona, S.W. and'W. by 
California. It is situated between lat. 35° and 42' N. 
and Ion. 114° and 120° W. The portion above the 39th 
parallel is a rectangular parallelogram and the por- 
tion below a right-angled triangle, with one angle cut 
away by the Colorado R., which constitutes the ex- 
treme S.E. boundary. The length of the State from 
N. to S. is 485 m. and its greatest breadth from E^ to 
W. 320 m.; area, 110,700 "sq. m. Most of Nevada be- 
longs to the "Great Basin," a table-laud elevated 
4,500 feet above the sea. This is traversed with great 
uniformity by nearly parallel mountain ranges rising 
from 1,000 to 8,000ft. higher,and running almost with- 
out exception, in a direction N. and S. Long narrow 
valleys lie between them, sometimes redeemed from 
sterility by streams of water, but often barren and 
verdureless. The Sierra Nevada, from 7,000 to 13,000 
feet in height, extends along the W. boundary'. 
Marked signs of volcanic agency are shown 
in the formation of the mountains, rocks, minerals 
and lakes. The largest and only navigable river is 
the Colorado. Humboldt R. rises in the mountains 
and empties into a lake of the same name after a 
course of 300 m. Walker R. and Carson R. rise in the 
Sierras and flow into lakes which have no visible out- 
let. Lake Tahoe, lying partly in California, is 21 m. 
long, 10 m. wide and 1,500 feet deep. Although it is 
elevated 6,000 feet above the sea, the water never 
freezes, and has a mean temperature of 57° for the 
year. Among the remarkable physical features of 
"Nevada arelts hot springs, some of which are 100 
feet in diameter, 150 feet deep and have a tempera- 
ture of 200 degrees. The Steamboat springs, in 
Washoe CO., register a temperature of 204 degrees. 
Chemical analysis shows that the mineral ingredients 
of these waters are the chlorides of magnesium and 
sodium, lime, sulphur and iron. A heavy growth of 
timber, principally pine, fir and si)ruee. covers 
the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada, many at-

tainiug enormous size. The timber in the interior 
is mainly eottonwood, birch, dwarf cedar, nut pine, 
and wood of softer texture.— Tlie climate is in general 
comparatively mild, little snow falling except on the 
mountains. In the N. and interior the average sum- 
mer temperature at noon is 90°, falling to 70° at night. 
In the severest weather in winter the thermometer 
ranges from 0° to —15° or —20°. In the S.E. the 
winters are milder, frosts being rare in the valleys, 
and the summers hotter ; the thermometer in May 
and June ranges from 95° to 115°. Little rain falls, 
artificial irritation being necessary to agriculture. 
— The soil produces spontaneously in the valleys 
away from springs or streams, sage brush, grease- 
wood and bunch grass, the latter being scarce in 
such localities. There are many alkaline flats and 
extensive sand plains where nothing grows. The 
mountains are more or less covered with soil and 
their elevation makes of them the water reservoirs 
of the country. In consequence of this the timber is 
found there, as well as the best grazing lands in the 
State,exceptthe irrigated valleys.The snow melting in 
the mountains creates numerous springs lower down 
and small creeks or streams, which flow into basins 
or out to the valleys, where they are usually lost in 
the soil or sand. Along these water courses the wild 
grass sometimes grows and carpets the soil, and the 
high price of hay (about $20 per ton), renders these 
desirable localities for ranches or farms. In 1880 but 
81,106 acres w^ere reported as under cultivation, a 
trifle over one acre in a thousand of the total area. 
Fruit is scarce. The climate is not favorable for its 
maturity. The market for all products grown upon 
the soil is found inside the State at high and prof- 
itable rates, the high railroad freights serving the 
purpose of a kind of protective tariff for the farmers. 
The grazing area of the State, not including agricul- 
tural land, is laid down by the surveyor general as 
being over 5,000,000 acres, but its capacity is not 
equal to one-fifth of that amount in the E. States, 
and on account of being overstocked is rapidly de- 
teriorating. A large number of cattle are yearly trans- 
ported by railroad from this State to California in 
search of a market. In 1880 the number shipped from 
stations in Humboldt co. alone, was valued at $1,500,- 
000. The kinds of stock grown for a market outside 
of Nev. are cattle and sheep, the latter for their wool; 
all other kinds are raised for the home demand. — 
The mineral products in their relative order of val- 
ues,are gold,silver,copper,iron, lead, sulphur, borax, 
salt, soda. The first discovery of argentiferous ore 
was made on the Comstock lode in 1859, from which 
more than $100,000,000 have been taken, the great- 
est annual yield being $16,000,000. In 1868 bullion 
worth $10,000,000 was mined. This has been the most 
valuable silver bearing lode ever discovered in the 
world, exceeding in wealth the mines of Peru and 
Mexico. After being for years a source of immense in- 
come to its owners, the Comstock yields at present 
principally low grade ores, and is operated at a loss. 
Silver bearing lodes are worked in Humboldt, Esmer- 
alda, Lander, Nye and Lincoln cos., and in Lincoln 
CO. is found gold and copper, as in other parts of 
the State. The mining interests of Nev. outside of 
the Comstock have of late centered in the White R. 
district, having an area of abt. 12 sq. m. The White 
Pine mines are 125 m. E. by S. of Elk's station on 
the Pacific RR. For the year 1881 the yield of the 
mines,which in 1874 reached $35,500,000, was reduced 
to $9,310,000 (gold, $2,250.tX)0 ; silver, $7,060,000).— 
The mauuf. interests are not progressing. According 
to the U. States census of 1880 Nev. had 184 manu- 
facturing establishments (against330 in 1870) emplov- 
ing576 hands ; capital invested, $1,323,300 ($5,127, 
790 in 1870); wages paid during the year, $461,807; 
value of material, $1,019,794; value of products, $2,- 
179,626 ($15,870,539 in 1870). The State had in 1882, 



890 m. of railroad in operation. — The educational 
facilities are as complete and far advanced as could 
be expected with all the unfavorable circumstances 
naturally attendant upon the establishment of a prac- 
tical public school system in a State which covers so 
extensive an area, has few facilities for travel, and 
is sparsely settled. — Nev. is divided into 15 cos., viz.: 
Churchill, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda, Eureka, Hum- 
boldt, Lander, Lincoln, Lyon, Nye, Ormsby, Rnop, 
Storey, Washoe, White Pine. The principal towns 
are Carson City (the cap.), Virginia City and Gold 
Hill (united in 1881 into one government under the 
administration of the commissioners of Storey co.), 
Hamilton, Treasure, Elko, Pioche City,Reno, Dayton, 
and Silver City. The legislative authority is vested 
in a senate of 20 members elected for 4 years and an as- 
sembly of 40 members elected for 2 years. Biennial ses- 
sion are held. The governor (salary $6,000), and 
other executive officers arechosenfor 4 years. The 
supreme court council of 3 judges (salary $7,000 each), 
elected for 6years. Nev. sends one representative to 
congress and has 3 electoral votes. The financial condi- 
tion of Nev. has of late manifested a marked downward 
tendency, the various sources of her revenue having 
materially decreased in amount and number. In 1881 
the receipts into the Treasury aggregated $923,159; 
expenditures, $1,276,050. The bonded State debt was 
$600,000. Valuation of taxable property, $26,598,658. 
— Nev. was ceded by Mexico to the U. States in 1848. 
A Territorial government was organized in 1861 , and on 
Oct. 31st., 1864, Nev. was admitted into the Union as 
the 36th State. Pop. in 1860, 6,857 ; in 1870, 42,491 ; 
in 1880, 62,266 (of whom 42,019 male; and 20.267 fe- 
male; 36,613 natives and 25,653 'foreign 53,556 whites 
488 colored, 14 Chinese, and 63 taxed Indians). The 
number of tribal Indians in 1882, according to the 
reportofthe U.S. com. of Indian affairs, as 7,831.

nese). The surface is generally mountainous, especial- 
ly toward the east, which is traversed by the Sierra Ne- 
vada range. One half of the area is estimated to be 
occupied by mineral lands. Gold mining is the prin- 
cipal industry, and agriculture receives little atten- 
tion, though there is much arable land, and timber 
is abundant. The co. contains several of the richest 
and most productive quartz lodes in the State, and 
the placer diggings are not surpassed by any other.

into 15 wards ; it is for the most part regularly laid 
out, with broad and straight streets, generally cross- 
ing fiach other at right angles. Many of the streets 
are bordered by lofty and beautiful shade trees, 
which give an air of elegance. The main street, called 
Broad street, is very spacious and handsome, 132 ft. 
wide and 2J m. long, shaded with majestic elms, 
adorned with numerous tasteful edifices, and skirting 
in its course Washington, Militaiy, and South parks, 
which are embowered with lofty elms. There are 
abt. 140 m. of improved streets, of which nearly 100 
m. are graded, and more than 30 m. paved. The city 
is supplied with water collected from a large num- 
ber of springs on the neighboring high grounds into 
a resei-voir, and thence distributed by pipes. It has 
a system of sewerage, abt. 30 m. of sewers having 
been completed. There are four cemeteries within the 
limits of the city : Woodland, Fairmount, Mt. Pleas- 
ant, and the Catholic cemetery. Mt. Pleasant, the 
oldest, occupies 40 acres of ground on the Passaic 
R., and is elegantly laid out in winding avenues 
thickly shaded by ornamental trees and flowering 
shrubbery. Besides the churches, the most note- 
worthy buildings are the custom house, city hall, and 
several of the banks and insurance buildings. The 
city has 104 churches, 9 horse railways, 11 banks of 
deposit, 5 savings banks, 3 trust companies, 5 daily 
and wkly and 4 monthly papers, 15 fire insurance 
companies, 4 life insurance companies, a paid fire de- 
partment, and an electric fire alarm telegraph. Its 
municipal government consists of a mayor, common 
council (one-half of which are elected annually), an 
educational board, water and tax commissioners, 
and an excise board. There are a number of hand- 
some and costly public buildings. Newark is very 
extensively engaged in manufactures, a great part 
of the products of which are sent to distant markets. 
Although there are no peculiar natural facilities here 
for this kind of industry,this want has been abundant- 
ly supplied by steam power and other artificial agents, 
under the direction of human skill and enterprise. 
About the year 1676, measures were taken to invite 
mechanics to this place. The first shoemaker ap- 
pears to have been induced to come into the settle- 
ment from Elizabethtown, having been "formerly 
admitted a member of the community, on condition 
of his supplying it with shoes." The manufacture of 
shoes, boots, sadlery, harness, and the various fab- 
rics of leather, have constituted an extensive branch 
of the business of Newark in modern times. The tan- 
neries here have been very extensive, the first of 
which was established as long ago as 1698. Other 
manufactures, in great variety and abundance, have 
been produced, the most important of which are jew- 
elry, celluloid goods, saddlery and harness materials, 
felt and silk hats, carriages, varnish, ale and lager 
beer, trunks and valises, chemicals, cotton thread, 
clothing, agricultural implements, fertilizers, ma- 
chinery, and sewing silk. The smelting and refining 
of gold, silver, and lead ores is also a prominent in- 
terest. The Newark Industrial Institute is an organ- 
ization of mechanics and manufacturers, which has 
for its object the encouragement and advancement 
of manufactures and the mechanical arts. Newark 
also has a board of trade. Its shipping interests are 
quite extensive ; it has a line of docks over a mile in 
length. The city has quite a number of charitable in- 
stitutions ; its system of public schools is excellent, 
embracing a high school, 12 granmiar schools, 20 
primary schools, 2 primary industrial schools, 7 
evening schools, and a Saturday normal school. 
The number of school buildings owned by the city 
is 21. Newark academy, incorporated in 1795, is one 
of the oldest institutions in the State. There are sev- 
eral well attended Catholic schools. There are two 
libraries, that of the Newark library association, con- 
taining 20,000 volumes and that of the New Jersey 



historical society, containing 6,000 volumes and 10,- 

000 pamplets, besides manuscripts of great value and 
rarity, and a cabinet of curiosities and relics. New- 
ark was settled in 1666 by a company from Connect-

whose mouth forms here a commodious harbor and is 
crossed by a bridge 4,000 ft. long. There is a strong 
fortification at the entrance of the harbor ; and around 
Clark's point, at the S. end of the city, is a fine pub- 
lic drive -41 m. long. New Bedford is connected with 
New York by a daily line of steamboats. The city water 
works were constructed in 1869, at a cost of nearly 
$1,000,000. From the head of Acushnet R. which is 
dammed up to form a reservoir with a capacity of 
400,000,000 gallons, the water is brought 6 m. and is 
pumped for distributing to a height of 100 ft. The 
city has 24 public schools, a Friends' academy, 27 re- 
ligous societies, a domestic missionary society, St. 
Joseph's Hospital, an orphan asylum, a free public 
library of 30,000 vols., a paid fire department with 
steam fire-engines, an electric fire-alarm telegraph, 
and 1 street railway. Its industries include a cotton 
mill, print cloth works, an iron foundry, copper- 
sheating works, gas, cordage, twist drills, Prussian 
blue, paraffine candles, 4 oil and candle works, 5 shoe- 
factories, 2 manuf. photographic establishments,

&c. There are 4 nat. and 2 savings banks, 1 fire and 
1 marine insurance company, 2 daily and 1 wkly and 3

seat of the American whale fishery, which was pur- 
sued here as early as 1755. The business chiefly flour- 
ished from 1808 till 1854, which last year was the cul- 
minating point of its prosperity. The destruction of 
30 whalers by confederate cruisers during the civil 
war, the wrecking of 24 at one time in the N. Pacific 
in 1871, and the substitution of other articles for the 
prod, of the fishery, proved disastrous, and it is rapid- 
ly on the decline. In 1880 the vessels engaged in it in 
the U. States numbered 185 of which 144 of 35,208 
tons belonged to New Bedford. Pop. in 1870, 21,320 ;

rVcw Hampsliire, one of the New England 
States, bounded N. by Canada, E. by Maine and the 
Atlantic Ocean, S. by Massachusetts and W. by Ver- 
mont. It lies between lat. 42° 40' and 45° IS' N., and 
Ion. 70° 40' and 72° 35' W. Length from N. to S. abt. 
180 m., extreme breadth 93 m.; area, 9,305 sq. m. 
The shore of the 18 m. of sea-coast in the S.E. part, 
is, in most places, a sandy beach, bordered with salt 
marshes, penetrated by creeks and coves, furnishing 
harbors for small craft, and affording but one harbor 
for ships, which is that of Portsmouth, at the mouth 
of Piscataqua R. For the distance of 20 or 30 m. back 
from the sea, the country is level, occasionally diver- 
sified with hills and valleys. Beyond this the hills in- 
crease in number, and in many parts of the State rise 
into lofty mountains, particularly in the N., where 
are situated the White Mts., which are among the 
highest in the U. States, E. of the Rocky Mts., and 
others along the heights between Merrimack and Con- 
necticut Rs. In different parts are some picturesque 
lakes and fine water-falls, and the beauty and grand- 
eur of the scenery presented by its mountains and 
lakes has caused it to be denominated "the Switzer- 
land of America." The principal mountain peaks are 
Grand Monadnock, toward the S.W. ])art of the State; 
Sunapee Mt. , near Sunapee Lake ; Kearsarge Mt. , be- 
tween Sutton and Salisbury ; Carr'sMt. in Ellsworth; 
Moosehillock in Benton, and Mount Washington, 
the highest peak of the White Mts., lias an average 
elevation of 1,400 ft. above the sea. One-sixth of the 
whole area is covered with water. Almost upon the 
Canada line, elevated 2,551 ft. above sea level, and 
surrounded by a dense forest of evergreens, is the 
lake which is the source of the Connecticut R. After 
flowing through two other smaller ponds and receiv- 
ing several little tributai'ies, the stream passes into 
the Connecticut Lake, which is 4 m. long, 2f m. wide 
and 1,619 ft. above the sea. Lake Magalloway, the 
source of the river of the same name, covers320 acres 
and is elevated 2,225 ft. Lake Umbagog (1,256 feet 
high) extends over into Maine. Lake Winnipiseogee 
is 25 m. long, 8J ra. wide and contains 274 islands. A 
little N.W. of this is Squam Lake, 5 m. in length and 
4 in breadth. Other considerable bodies of water are 
Sunapee and Ossipee Lakes. Perched 5,000 ft. above 
the sea is the Lake of the Clouds, the source of the 
Ammonoosuc R. The State is divided into five hydro- 



graphic districts — ^viz., the Connecticut, Merrimack, 
Piscataqua, Saco and Androscoggin. The Connecti- 
cut basin is 185 m. long, from 5 to 30 wide and covers 
an area of 3,060 sq. m. in N.II. For 211 m., this river 
constitutes the W. boundarj- of the State. Its princi- 
pal tributaries are the Upper and Lower Ammonoo- 
suc, Sugar, Cold and Ashuelot Rs., allof them origi- 
nating on the W. side of the "Heights of Land." 
The basin of the Merrimack is 98 m. long, from 15 
to 60 m. wide and comprises 3,825 sq. m. The Pemi- 
gewasset and the Winnipiseogee unite to form the 
the Merrimack. The Piscataqua basin of 825 sij. m., 
is 45 m. in length and from 10 to 20 m. in width. 
This river is made up of the Cocheco and the Sal- 
mon Falls, which come together at Dover. The basin 
of the Saco is 46 m. long by 18 wide, and contains 
850 sq. m. The Androscoggin basin is 71 m. long, 
from 10 to 30 m. wide, and covers an area of 825 sq. 
m. All of the above streams are subject to sudden 
floods; they are abundantly stocked with fish. Off 
the coast are the Isles of Shoals, 8 in number, of 
which 3 are under the jurisdiction of N.H., and 5 be- 
long to Maine. Their total area is only abt. 600 acres. 
A dense growth of trees originally extended over 
most of the State. Clearing land was the first work 
of the early settlers. Coosco. is still covered with an 
almost unbroken primeval forest. Two-thirds of 
the Connecticut and one-third of the Piscataqua 
basins are still in timber land. The hills and moun- 
tains are covered with a growth of pine, oak, wal- 
nut, cedar, hemlock, fir, beech, maple, balsam, pop- 
lar, butternut, &c.; white oak and chestnut flourish 
on the hard, stony tracts, and spruce and hemlock 
on the thin, cold soils. There is a very marked dif- 
ference between the vegetation of the N. and S. 
parts. More than 1,000 species of plants have been 
noted. Forest trees grow on the White Mts. below 
the line of 3,000 ft. and in sheltered localities up to 
4,000 ft. Above that the plants common to Greenland 
and Labrador are found. The bear, wolf, moose and 
other wild animals are occasionally seen. — The cli- 
mate is severe, being somewhat colder than that of 
Maine, but more steady. In summer the heat some- 
times rises to 100° and in winter the cold has been 
known to freeze the mercury in the thermometer. In 
the neighborhood of the White Mts., the winters are 
excessively cold, and the peaks are covered more or 
less with snow eight months in the year, from which 
circumstance their name has been derived. The Mer- 
rimack valley below Concord is the warmest pait of 
the State ; and the abundant waterfalls here have 
caused the growth of the manuf. towns of 
Manchester, Nashua, Suncook, and Hooksett. All 
parts of N.H. are exceedingly healthful, and cases 
of remarkable longevity are very numerous. The cold 
weather begins about the last of Oct., and continues 
till May ; and from the latter part of Nov. till 
the opening of spring the whole country is usually 
covered with snow, and the rivers are frozen. — The 
soil of N.H. is generally fertile, particularly on the 
margins of the rivers, and especially on Connecticut 
R., and the hillshaveamoistand warm soil, particu- 
larly adapted to grazing. Pork, beef, mutton, poul- 
try, butter and cheese are annually exported. Apples, 
pears, plums, and cherries are produced in abun- 
dance. Sugar is extensively made from the hard ma- 
ple tree. The principal prod, for the census year 1880 
were 1,401,820 bush, of corn, 158,200 of wheat, 891,- 
840 of oats, 102,156of buckwheat, 3,786.300 of pota- 
toes, and 592,764 tons of hay, 1,263,711 lbs. of wool, 
6,246,813 of butter, and 1,740,389 of maple sugar. 
There were on farms 57,100 horses, 98,100 milch cows, 
123,725 oxen and other cattle, 246,942 sheep, and 45,- 
450 hogs. — The State surveys disclose the existence 
of mineral deposits in various sections, but they have 
not been developed to any great extent. A valuable 
bed of iron ore has been worked in Lisbon and re-

duced at Franconia, and gold-bearing quartz, said to 
assay from $18 to $35 per ton, is mined in the same 
neighborhood. By far the most important and profit- 
able article which the earth yields is granite. It 
exists in inexhaustible quantities, is quarried and 
dressed, notably in Concord and in many other 
places, is of fine grain and ready cleavage, and adapt- 
ed to the highest architectural purposes. Some of 
the best buildings in the country are constructed 
from it. It also serves some admirable purposes in 
sculpture, its beautiful grey being preferable to 
marble. Under improved processes of "manufacture 
it takes a brilliant polish, and is widely used for mon- 
uments and mural designs. Next in importance may 
be named the Francestown soapstone, a valuable de- 
posit entering extensively into the useful arts, which 
is worked on a liberal scale. It is made ready for 
market at Nashua, and from thence supplies the de- 
mands at Boston and New York. Mica is another ar- 
ticle of commercial value found in Grafton, Acworth 
and Alexandria.— In 1880, according to the census of 
that year, N.H. had 3,181 manuf. establishments, 
employing 38,831 hands ; capital invested, $51,112,- 
263 ; wages paid during the year, $14,814,793, value 
of materials $43,553,462 ; value of products, $73,978,- 
028. The leading industry is the making of textile 
fabrics, among which were 36 cotton-mills, working 
24,399 looms and 944,053 spindles, and employing 16,- 
539 hands ; cotton consumed during the year 157,- 
673 bales ; capital invested, $19,877,084 , wages paid 
$4,390,960 ; value of materials, $10,146,904 ; value of 
products, $17,923,403. The nextlargest interest is the 
paper manuf. The shipping and direct imports 
of N.H. are given under Portsmouth, its only port of 
entry. The greater portion of the foreign products 
consumed in the State is entered in Boston. N.H. 
had in 1882, 1,036 m. of railroad in operation.— A 
compulsory education law has been in force since 
1871. All children between the ages of 8 and 14 years 
are required to attend school for at least 6 weeks in 
every year. In 1882, the State was divided into 2,227 
school districts ; value of school houses, $2,303,248 ; 
pupils attending school, 38,069 ; teachers, 3,594 ; 
total expenditures, $575,808. Town and cities may 
do away with the district system and provide high 
schools for more advanced culture. Many have so 
done. There is a normal school at Plymouth support- 
ed by the State. Teachers trained there are required 
to pursue their calling within the State. Besides the 
free schools, there are abt. 50 academies and semi- 
naries, mostly incorporated, where tuition is paid. 
Four or more of th6se are designed for female 
students, and many of them are established on liberal 
foundations. There is one college, Dartmouth, at 
Hanover, chartered in 1754, being the fourth in point 
of time established in New England. Connected with 
it are other institutions which afford the student an 
opportunity to complete the circle of a university 
education. These are the Chandler scientific depart- 
ment, including French and German ; the agricul- 
tural school, established from the congressional 
land grant ; the Thayer school of civil engineering, 
and the medical department. Within a little more 
than the last decade a million of dollars has been 
added by gift or bequest to its funds. The State peni- 
tentiary and the N.H. asylum for the insane are at 
Concord. A reform school for boys and girls has 
been in successful operation at Manchester since 
1855, and receives abt. 150 pupils annually. The blind 
are supported at the Perkins institute in Boston, and 
the deaf and dumb at the American asylum at Hart- 
ford. — The legislature, styled the general court, con- 
sists of a senate of 13 members, and a house of repre- 
sentatives of a varying number of members. The 
governor is advised in his executive duties by a 
council of 5 members. The members of the legisla- 
ture, governor and councillors are elected annually 



on the 2d Thursday m March. The judicial power is 
vested m a superior court of judicatme consfst^g o 
3 justices, a cn-cuit court, probate and police courts 
and justice of the peace. N.H. sends •/representa- 
tives to congress and has 4 electoral votes. In 1881

mouth of the Piscataqua in 1623, by a party of Eng- 
lishmen, who came to fish and to trade. Dover was 
settled the same year. From 1680 to 1775 the 
seat of government was at Portsmouth. N". H 
bore a conspicuous and honorable part in the strug- 
gle for independence. On June 21st, 1788, the consU- 
tution of the U. States was ratified, and in 1792, the

640 sq. m. The surface is generally uneven, moun- 
tainous in the middle and toward the E., and the soil 
is moderately fertile. On the coast there are several 
excellent harbors. The chief prod, in 1880 were 13,- 
549 bush, of buckwheat, 232,379 of corn, 76,164 of 
oats, 78,256 of rye, 215,195 lbs. of tobacco ; potatoes 
and butter, are largely produced. The co. has very 
extensive manuf. interests. Cap., New Haven. Val. 
of taxable prop. abt. $200,000,000. Pop. 156,526 (of 
whom 37,308 for., and 3,563 colored). 
— the largest city of the State, port of entry, and cap. 
of the above co., at the head of a harbor or bay which 
sets up 4 m. from Long Island Sound, and on the B. 
&N.Y.A.L., theN.H.&N., the N.Y.,N.H.&H., the 
N.H.ifcD., and the Shore Line RRs. It is situated on 
a large and level plain, surrounded by hills and 
mountains, except at the S. in the direction of the 
harbor. The harbor is formed by the confluence of 
three rivers, Quinnipiac and Mill R. on the E., and 
West R. on the W. The most striking objects which 
arrest the attention in approaching the city from the 
S. are the' East and West Rocks, two reddish, bold, 
perpendicular precipices of rude, naked trap rock, 
the former 370, and the latter 400 ft. in height. The 
streets are well paved, drained, and lighted with gas. 
The number of magnificent elms with which the 
principal streets and squares are planted has caused 
New Haven to be called the City of Elms. Chapel 
street, the principal thoroughfare, extends in a 
W.N.W. direction from end to end of the city. The 
principal public buildings are the custom house and 
post-office, the State house, the city hall, and the 
court-house. New Haven is the seat of Yale college, one 
of the oldest and most important educational institu- 
tions in America. It was founded in 1700, and in 1881 
had 106 instructors and 1,037 students. Besides its 
academic department, the college has a law school, 
a medical school, a scientific school, a theological 
school, and a school of the fine arts. The grounds in- 
clude 9 acres, and contain many buildings. The most 
noteworthy are the Gothic library, with 90,000 vol- 
umes ; the elaborate art building, containing a fine 
collection of paintings, statuary, and casts, and a 
number of studios ; the Alumni hall, used for the 
annual examinations and graduates' meetings ; the 
new dormitories, Durfee hall, and Famam hall, with 
the elegant Battell chapel ; the two handeome Ibuild- 
ings of the divinity school, with the dainty little Mar- 
quand chapel between ; the SheflSeld hall, and North 
Sheffield hall, containing the laboratories and collec- 
tions of the Sheffield scientific school, the Peabody 
museum, in which are the collections of the univer- 
sity in geology, mineralogy, and the natural sciences, 



including the famous collection of Prof. Marsh ; and 
the gymnasium, said to be the most complete in tha 
country. — The harbor of New Haven is protected 
from winds, but is rather shallow. To remedy its de- 
fects, two wharfs have been constructed, 3,500 and 
1,500 ft. long, and there are other landings for .steam- 
boats. There is daily communication with New York 
by steamboats. The port has a large coasting trade, 
and the commercial foreign commerce is also con- 
siderable, particularly with the West Indies, but it is 
not fully exhibited by the U. States commercial re- 
ports, most of the business of New Haven merchants 
being done through New York. The direct exports 
for the year 1882 were valued at $598,487 ; imports 
$956,055 ; entrances in the foreign trade, 86 of 19,628 
tons; clearances, 42, of 7,545 tons. In 1882 there were, 
belonging to the port, 139 sailing vessels of 7,969 
tons, 36 steam vessels of 15,912 tons, and 10 barges of 
2,033 tons. The manuf. are very extensive, includ- 
ing machinery, hardware, locks, clocks, fire-arms, 
carriages, pianos, jewelry, India rubber goods, &c. 
The city has abt. 55 churches, and 25 public schools. 
The hopkins grammar school is chiefly designed for 
preparing boys for Yale college. There are also a 
collegiate institute, and numerous private schools. 
New Haven has 7 nat. and 3 State banks, 6 daily, 12 
weekly and 12 monthly papers and periodicals are 
published here. The principal theatres are the grand 
opera house (2,000 seats), Loomis' (1,000 seats), New 
Haven opera house (1,000 seats), Carl's opera house, 
(2,500 seats), and the Atheneum (600 seats). The city 
is divided into 10 wards. It is governed by a mayor, 
20 aldermen and 30 councilmen, elected for 1 year. 
The police force consists of abt. 100 men, and there 
is an efficient fire department. The New Haven bury- 
ing ground, containing 18 acres at the N.W. of the 
city, is beautifully laid out. The European country, 
on West R., is large and tastefully adorned, and near 
it is a Catholic burying ground. The village of Fair 
Haven, 2 m. E. of the city hall, is within the limits 
of the city, and is situated on both sides of the 
Quinnipiac. Its leading business is the oyster trade, 
large quantities being brought here from various 
places, and laid down in beds, giving employment to 
quite a number of vessels. The city is divided 
into 10 wards, and is governed by a 'mayor and a 
board of aldermen of 2, and a. council of 3 
members for each ward. There are efficient fire 
and police departments. The streets are well paved, 
drained, and lighted with gas. New Haven was the 
principal settlement in the colony, originally inde- 
pendent, which was founded by Theophilas Eaton, 
and his associates, in 1638. The independence of this 
colony continued until the charter of Connecticut, 
procured from Charles II., in 1662, included the New 
Haven colonists under the same jurisdiction. Under 
this charter Hartford and New Haven were made 
joint capitals, the legislature meeting alternately 
at each place, until in 1873, by an amendment 
of the constitution, Hartford was made the sole 
seat of government. Pop. in 1810. 5,772 ; in 1840,

Ne-*v Jf ersey, one of the Middle Atlantic States, 
bounded N. by New York, E. by New York and the 
Atlantic Ocean, S. by the Atlantic Ocean and Dela- 
ware Bay, and W. by the Delaware Bay and River, 
separating it from the States of Delaware and Pennsyl- 
vania. It lies between lat. 38° 56' and 41° 21' N., Ion. 73° 
54' and 75° 33' W. The extreme length from Cape May 
to the N. angle, is 167g m., and the greatest breadth 
59 m. At the narrowest point.between Bordentown and 
South Ambov, the State is abt. 32 m. in width ; area, 
7,815 m. (or 7,455 exclusive of water surface). N.J. 
has a direct coast line of 120 m. Its S. portion is al- 
most entirely alluvial. A strip of marsh girts the sea- 
shore,with broad tracts of salt meadow.Next to this is 
an immense sandy plain, seldom rising to a height of 60 
feet above the sea level, until it reaches the Never- 
sink or Nevisink Highlands opposite Sandy Hook, 
which have an elevation of 375 feet. Above Trenton 
the country is more rolling and based upon the old 
red sandstone formation. The N.W. section is rugged 
and mountainous. A range of hills, beginning at 
Bergen Point, skirts the Hudson R. as the Palisades 
and passes over into New York. Twenty miles W. of 
the Palisades there is another nearly parallel range

of hills. Along the'N. W. boundary are the Blue Mts., 
through which the Delaware R. breaks at the Water 
Gap, the sides of which are 1,600 feet high. At High 
Point, near the New York line, Is the most elevated 
land in the State, having a height of 1,800 feet. N.J. 
as it is seen, is characterized topographically by three 
well marked divisions. Its N. part is mountaiuous, its 
middle is rolling, and its S. part is uniform iu surface. 
These features of its surface have given character to 
the State, and directed its development and industries. 
The middle division early attracted farmers to its 
soil, and it has always been well farmed. Its rolling 
surface, and its streams of water have furnished 
water power, so that it has become the seat of mixed 
industries, and the development of agricultural, me- 
chanical and manuf. industries have gone on together 
freatly to the benefit of each. The N. part of the 
tatc includes between its mountain ranges many 
valleys, the soil of which is very fertile, and their 
lands are in a high state of cultivation. The iron 
mining manuf. industries are large, and these various 
pursuits engage the attention of a large population. 
The S. part of the State is low, and its surface is 
gently rolling. The soil is generally light and sandy, 
but susceptible ofimprovement, and responds quickly 
to the beneficial action of fertilizers. There are more 
than half a million acres of tillable land still covered 
by wood. Some of the more sandy belts are too poor 
for profitable farming. They are covered by a light 
growth of Jersey pine. The soils of the more S. cos. 
are especially adapted to market gardening. — The 
Hudson R., runs for 28 m. along the E. border, re- 
ceiving scarcely a tributary from N.J. on account of 
the Palisades, and the Delaware R. constitutes the 
whole of the W. boundary. The three principal rivers 
within the State are the Hackensack, navigable for 
15 m. which joins the Passaic at the head of Newark 
Bay ; the Passaic, which has a fall of 72 feet at Pat- 
erson ; and the Raritan, emptying into the bay of the 
same name, which is navigable to New Brunswick, 
17 m. There are several lakes in the N. part, of which 
the best known is Greenwood Lake, on the N.Y. 
boundary, 16 m. in circumference. Newark Bay is 
15. ra. long and 2 m. broad. Staten Island Sound sepa- 
rates Staten Island from the main land. From Sandy 
Hook to Cape May is a long line of sandy beaches, 
interruped by salt water marshes and numerous inlets 
and bays. Barnegat Bay, 40 m. long, and Great and 
Little Egg Harbors afford a safe anchorage for small 
vessels, but there are no good harbors. A large number 
of summer resorts has sprung up along the coast. From 
Sandy Hook to Cape May are Port Monmouth, High- 
lands, Sea Bright, Island Heights, Long Branch, 
Deal Beach, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove, Ocean 
Beach, Spring Lake, Sea Girt, Squan, Point Pleasant, 
Squan Beach, Lavallette City, Seaside Park, Island 
Beach, Long Beach, Beach Haven, Brigantine Beach, 
Atlantic City, Absecom Beach, Peck's Beach, Learn- 
ing's Beach,' Five-Mile Beach, Seaville, Ocean View, 
and Cape May. The largest of these seaside resorts 
are Long Branch, Asbury Park, Atlantic City and 
Cape May. — The sandy plains of the south were 
originally covered with a growth of pine and shrub 
oak. In the hilly district the principal trees are the 
oak, walnut, beech, birch, ash, elm, sugar-maple, 
pine, cedar, hemlock, etc. — The climate varies miu^h 
in ditferent parts of the State. In the N. where the 
country is more elevated, it is much colder than to- 
ward the south, where the influence of the ocean and 
a low situation is felt. The annual mean temperature 
of the S. end of the State is between 53° and 54° 
that of the N. end from 48° to 50°. The annual rain- 
fall is about 44 inches. Fevers and ague prevail in 
the neighborhood of the marshes, but upon the sea- 
shore and in the hilly regions the climate is remark- 
ably healthy. — The staple products of agriculture 
vary somewhat iu the several natural divisions of the 



State. In the rich limestone valleys, as also on the 
cultivated hills of the N. part, and on the rolling red 
sandstone plain in the central portion of the State, 
Indian corn, wheat, rye, oats, and hay are the crops, 
which are grown largely and with profit. The dairy 
products are large in Sussex co. and elsewhere in the 
vicinity of large towns and near railway lines. On the 
marl belt of the more S. part of the State the same 
staple crops are produced, together with a very large 
proportion of Irish potatoes, and iu some localities 
sweet potatoes also. Vegetables of all kinds and small 
fruits are raised extensively near the towns and large 
cities. Orchard fruits are cultivated in all parts of 
the State, and are noted for their excellence. The 
attention of agriculturists is turning more and more 
to market gardening, as the profits are large on suit- 
able soils and where proper skill is employed. The 
Bureau of Labor and Statistics (report of 1880) re- 
commends the encouragement of silk culture by the 
State. It appears that N.J. already manufactures 
$16,000,000 of the $30,000,000 produced in the U. 
States, and consumes more than 60 per cent, of the 
raw silk imported into the U. States. — The State is 
rich in mineral deposits. In the highlands of the N. 
part magnetic iron ore is widely distributed. Many 
large veins are known and worked. The principal 
mines are in Morris, Sussex, Passaic and Warren cos., 
although some ore is raised in Bergen and Hunterdon 
COS. The development of the iron industry has been 
steady and rapid, and the product has increased from 
about 10,000 tons in 1790 to 754,872 tons of ore mined 
in 1880. The several lines of railroads which traverse 
this mining district give easy communication, and 
its location between the anthracite coal mines of 
Pennsylvania and the great Atlantic coast markets 
favor its development. There are 17 blast furnaces 
iu the State, which consume annually a large part of 
the mine production. These natural advantages and 
improved methods of smelting ores such as arefound 
in the State, must stimulate the production, and also 
the business of iron making. There are in Sussex co. 
two very large zinc ore deposits. The annual product 
of ore has ranged from 15,000 to 22,000 tons for a 
number of years. In the central part of the State 
there is a belt of plastic clays of a superior character 
crossing from the Raritan Bay to the Delaware R. 
It is most extensively opened in the vicinity of Wood- 
bridge and Perth Amboy, in Middlesex co. The ag- 
gregate amount of such clays dug annually is 250,000 
tons, worth at least $1,000,000. In addition to the 
mineral deposits or ores, there are in the State beds of 
roofing slate, which are worked at several localities 
iu Sussex and Warren cos.; inexhaustible supplies of 
limestone, suitable for making excellent lime for use 
in agriculture and in mechanic arts ; building stone 
in great variety, and greensand marl, the well known 
natural fertilizer of S. Jersey. —The manuf. interests 
are varied and large. In 1880, according to the census 
of that year, N. j! had 7,128 manuf. establishments, 
employing 126,036 hands ; capital invested, $106,226,- 
593 ; wages paid during the year, $46,083,045 ; value 
of materials, $165,285,779 ; value of products, $254,- 
380,236. Newark is the third city in the Union in the 
value of its manuf products. The silk mills of 
Paterson, the iron works in the cos. of Morris, 
Sussex and Warren, the steel, zinc and black lead 
works of Jersey City, and the potteries of Trenton, 
are all noted for the extent of their production and 
the excellence of their work.— N.J. is divided into 
6 customs districts, of which the ports of entry are 
Newark, Perth Amboy, Tuckerton, Gieat Egg Har- 
bor, Bridgeton, and Lamberton ; but theforeign trade 
passes almost entirely through New York and Phila- 
delphia. The Morris canal extends from Jersey City 
to Phillipsburg, 101 m. The Delaware and the Raritan 
canal connects Trenton on the Delaware with New 
Brunswick on the Raritan, 43 m., and has a feeder

23 m. long from Bull's Island to Trenton. The State 
had, in 1883, 1,753 m. of railroad in operation. — A 
compulsorj' education law was passed in 1873. In 1880 
there were 1,558 school buildings, 203,568 pupils en- 
rolled in the public schools ; and 3,333 teachers ; 
whole expenditures for public schools, $1,889,475 ; 
valuation of all public school property, $6,401,603. A 
large and flourishing normal school is located at Tren- 
ton. There are 4 colleges in the State, and numerous 
academies and seminaries. — N.J. is divided into 31 
COS., viz.: Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, 
Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, 
Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morrisj 
Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Union, and 
Warren. Trenton is the cap. The other cities are 
Bridgeton, Burlington, Camden, Elizabeth, Harrison, 
Hoboken, Jersey City, Millville, Newark, New Bruns- 
wick, Orange, Paterson, Plainfield, Rahway, and 
Salem. — The present constitution was adopted in 
Aug. 1844. The general election is held annually on 
the 1st Tuesday after the first Monday in Nov. The 
legislature consists of a senate of 31 members elected 
for 3 years, and an assembly of 60 members elected 
annually. Members are paid $3 per day. A salary 
of $5,000 per annum is paid to the governor, who 
continues in office for 3 days. The chancellor, who 
presides over the court of errors and appeals, is 
elected for a term of 7 years, and receives a salary of 
$5,500, besides fees. The State sends 7 representatives 
to congress, and has 9 electoral votes. In 1881 the 
State debt amounted to $1,896,300. The receipts into 
the Treasury were $878,747 ; expenditures, $1,096,203. 
The total val. of taxable prop, was $537,451,233.— 
The earliest colony of N.J. was probably planted 
at Bergen between 1617 and 1630, by the Dutch, 
who maintained possession until finally ousted by 
the EnglLsh in 1664. In 1674 the Dutch recaptured 
New York and New Jersey. This triumph was, how- 
ever, but of short duration, and the whole region 
the same year reverted to the English. The last gov- 
ernor for the English crown was Wm. Franklin, the 
natural son of Benj. Franklin. The province adopted 
a State constitution in 1776, under which the State 
was governed until 1844, when its present constitu- 
tion was adopted, and throughout the revolutionary 
war it was frequently the scene of stirring events. 
On its soil were fought the battles of Trenton, 
Princeton, Millstone, Red Bank, and Monmouth. 
Federal constitution was adopted by an unanimous 
vote, 18th Dec, 1787. Pop. in 1790, 184,139; in 1830, 
330,833 ; in 1860, 673,035 ; in 1870, 906,096 ; in 1880, 
1.131,116 (of whom 559,933 males and 517,194 females; 
909,416 natives and 331,700 of foreign birth ; 1,093,017 
whites, 38,853 colored, 173 Chinese and 74 Indians).

drained by Thames R.; area, 650 sq. m. The surface 
is hilly and in the S.W. mountainous ; the soil is 
best adapted to grazing. Fishing is extensively car- 
ried on. The chief prod, in 1880 were 12,201 bush, of 
buckwheat, 244,943 of corn, 146,321 of oats, 15,587 of 
rye, and 29,022 lbs. of tobacco ; also potatoes and 
butter. The manuf. interests are various and impor- 
tant. Caps., New London and Norwick. Val. of taxa-

— a city'^, port of entry, and one of the caps, of 
above co., on the W. bank of the Thames R., 3 m. 
above its entrance into Long Island Sound, on the 
C.V. the N.Y.,N.H.&H., and the N.Y.,P.&B.RRs., 
40 m. S.E. Hartford. There are 2 lines of steamers to 
New York. The city is built on a declivity sloping S. 
and E., and the ground in the rear of the city rises to 
a considerable height. It has several handsome pub- 
lic buildings, and the private residences, owing partly 
to the influx of summer visitors who are attracted by 
the beautiful scenery of the neighborhood, are in 
many cases elegant and picturesque. The harbor is 
the best on Long Island Sound, and one of the best 
in the U. States. It is 3 m. long and 5 fathoms deep, 
sheltered by hills, seldom obstructed by ice, and de- 
feuded by Fort Trumbull at the entrance. The in- 
habitants of New London have long been actively 
engaged in the whale fisherj', in which the city ranks 
second only to New Bedford. Recently the seal fish- 
ery has been pursued by vessels from this port at 
Alaska and the South Shetland Islands. The cod 
and mackerel fisheries for the New York and other 
markets are also important. There is some foreign 
and considerable coasting trades. The value of im- 
ports for the year 1880 were $175,526 ; of exports $39,- 
572. The nurnber of vessels belonging to the port 
was 168 sailing vessels, tonnage 7, 769, and 36 steamers, 
tonnage 13,148. The city has 11 churches, graded pub- 
lic schools, including 2 high schools, a public library, 
a daily and wkly paper, 4 nat. and 1 other bank, sev- 
eral iron foundries, machine shops, planing mills, a

r%e\v Mexico, a S.W. territory, bounded N. by 
Colorado, E. by the Indian Territory and Texas, S. 
by Texas and Mexico, and W. by Arizona. It is situa- 
ted between lat. 31° 20' and 37° N., and Ion. 103° and 
109° W. The greatest length from N. to S. is 395 m., 
the greatest breadth 355 m., and the area, 122,580 
sq. m. The surface is marked with mesa, valley, and 
mountains, foot hills, bluffs, gorges, caiions, and 
mountain parks. The mountain ranges from N. to S. 
generally break into isolated ranges', spurs, and foot 
hills, diminishing somewhat in altitude, and gradu- 
ally becoming mesas or high table-lands. In the N. 
part of the territory the Sangre de Cristo range 
looms up with spurs and ranges, to the E. as the 
Raton Mts., to the S. the Taos, Mora, and Santa Fe 
Mts., to the W. the Conejos and Tierra Amarilla 
ranges. S.E. of the old city of Santa Fe and E. of 
the Rio Grande a long line of ranges runs S. as the 
Placer Mts., the Sandia, Manzana, Oscura, Jumanes, 
Fra Cristobal, Caballo, San Andres, and Orange 
ranges. To the E. of the above a long series of high 
table-lands, reaching to the mesa, known as the 
Llano Estacado or Staked Plains, extend to the S. bor- 
der of the Territory. On the W. side of the Rio 
Grande, from the isolated peak known as San An- 
tonio Mtn., ranges run south as follows: Petaca 
Valles, Jemes, San Mateo, Ladrones, Oso Madalenas 
Socorros, Gallinas, Pueblo, Southern San Mateo, also 
including the extensive Miembres Mtn. ranges, and 
the Florida Mts., near the S. border. Farther to the 
west and nearthe Arizona line appears the continen- 
tal divide, composed of several ranges. These differ- 
ent ranges, distributed as they are, furnish a large 
water supply, a great amount of timber, and are ex- 
cellent shelter for stock during storms. The mesas 
and table-lands in the N. part of N.Mex. are generally 
abt. 6,000 to 6,500 ft. above sea level. In the central 



portion of the Territory the mesas attain an eleva- 
tion of abt. 5,000 ft., and in the S. of abt. 4 000 ft 
The ranges generally rise from 2,000 to 5,000 ft. above 
the mesas and high table-lands. Mt. Baldv 18 m 
from Santa Fe, is 12,202 ft. high, and Mt. Taylor in 
the Sierra San Mateo, 11,200 ft. The Rio Grande del 
Norte, or Rio Bravo del Norte (the wild river of the 
North), is the main river of N.Mex. It rises in S W 
Colorado, at an elevation of 11,920 ft., and runs 
southerly and centrally through the territory through 
canons and cotton lands. The E. portion of the terri- 
tory is drained by the Canadian R. (Rio Colorado) 
emptying into the Arkansas R., and the N.W. part 
by the Rio San Juan. The Puerco of the West, Zeunn, 
Tularosa, and San Francisco, are in tlie Central West. 
The Rio Miembres and Rio Gila are in the extreme 
S.W. of the territory.— The mineral wealth of N.Mex. 
is subject to constant discovery. Gold, silver, copper, 
iron and lead abound, and there have been recent 
discoveries of precious stones, notably of turquoises, 
very valuable. Thirty miles S. of Santa Fe are rich 
placers which are worked at great profit, the ore exist- 
ing in quartz easily crushed. Near the Placer Mts. the 
whole soil seems impregnated with gold. The yield 
of gold for the year 1881 was $185,000 ; silver, $275,- 
000. The Salt lakes are numerous between the Rio 
Grande and Pecos, and coal crops out in many places. 
Mineral springs and warm springs are found in differ- 
ent parts of the territory, possessing medicinal vir- 
tue. The climate varies much. Near Santa Fe and in 
the mountains the winter is severe. N. of Santa Fe 
the days are never sultry and the nights are always 
cool. In the south the temperature is mild, being 
seldom below the freezing point, and rarely rising to 
extreme heat, owing to the elevation of the surface. 
The sky is generally clear and the atmosphere dry, 
so that meat may be preserved for a long time with- 
out salt. In the south the rainy season is in July and 
August. The annual rainfall varies from 10 to 30 
inches in different localities. The mean temperature 
at Santa Fe (lat. 35° 41', elevation 6,862 ft.) for six 
years has been as follows : spring, 49.7°; summer, 
70.4"; autumn, 50.6°; winter, 31.6°; year, 50.fi°.— Not- 
withstanding the value of gold, silver, and copper 
mining, stock-raising is the most profitable source of 
income, the country being better adapted to this in- 
dustry than the cultivation of the soil. Immense 
flocks of sheep are raised, as well as great numbers 
of beeves and mules. Portions of the high plains, 
valleys and hills are covered with grass sufficient for 
pasturing millions of animals. According to a care- 
ful estimate made by L. A. Sheldon, governor of 
N. Mex. ,the yield of wool, in 1880,amounted to 10,500,- 
000 lbs. produced by 5,000,000 sheep ; being an aver- 
age of abt. 2 lbs. to the head. The ai' .unt of land 
susceptible of profitable cultivation difficult to 
estimate. The soil is universally goo and only re- 
quires fater to make the production.- equal to those 
of the best lands in the country. A very large por- 
tion of the cultivable lands may be irrigated at a 
small cost, and undoubtedly will be when pop. be- 
comes more dense and necessity imposes greater de- 
mands. The present methods of cultivation are 
primeval and do not properly indicate the produc- 
tiveness of the soil.— W. G. Ritch, territorial secre- 
tary, writes under a recent date : " Our mines are 
rapidly coming to the front and have the special ad- 
vantage of an equable climate and easy transporta- 
tion ail the year around. Three railroads are now 
within our borders, and the Texas Pacific still ' com- 
ino-.' The recent opening of a continuous line of 
railway to the Pacific via the Atchison, Topeka and 
Santa Fe and the Southern Pacific RRs., places 
N.Mex. upon a great national highway. The N. ter- 
minus of one of the contemplated lines to the city of 
Mexico is at El Paso del Norte, upon the N. boun- 
dary of Mexico, immediately adjacent to the S. bor-

derof N.Mex. The completion of the road to the capi- 
tal of the Mexican reimhlic cannot fail to inure 
greatly tothe benefit of N.Mex. Other lines are build- 
ing into and through the Territory, which within a 
few years will make every pcction of it conveniently 
accessible to travel and trade. A special advantage 
of N.Mex. is its adaption to horticulture and cultiva- 
tion of the vine. It is equal if not superior to Cali- 
fornia. The per.son who comes early and establishes 
an orchard in variety and quality will possess a bo- 
nanza superior to a gold mine." Says Governor Lewis 
Wallace in his last message to the legislature : 
" What with our advantages of climate, broad pas- 
tures, our mountains teeming with minerals, you 
may go confidently forward preparing for a popula- 
tion as rich, prosperous and enterprising as any in 
the world." — In 1880, according to the U. States 
census, the assessed val. of taxable prop, were $6,- 
689,694 (real estate, .$2,706,478; personal prop., $3,- 
983,216). This is estimated to be abt. 50 per cent, of 
the true valuation, which is, approximately, $13,379,- 
388. The State tax was $40,894; county tax, .§59,071. 
N.Mex. was visited by the Spaniards as early as 
1537. Humboldt thought that N.Mex. was the first 
abiding place of the Aztecs, as they migrated 
southward, and remarkable ruins testify to the ad- 
vancement in civilization of the early inhabitants. 
The country was ceded to the U. States by Mexico 
in 1848, and a territorial government was organized 
Sept. 9, 1850. — The territory is divided into 13 cos., 
viz.: Bernalillo, Colfax, Dona Ana, Grant, Lincoln, 
Mora, Rio Arriba, San Miguel, Santa Fe, Socorro, 
Taos, Valencia. The cap. is Santa Fe. Pop. in 1850, 
61,547; in 1860, 93,515; in 1870, 91,874 (decrease 
due to the setting off of territory to form Arizona 
and a part of Colorado) ; in 1880, 119, .565 (of whom 
64,496 male and 55,069 female; 111,515 native and 
8,051 of foreign birth ; 108,721 white, 998 colored, 
56 Chinese, and 9,790 Indians and half breeds). The 
number of tribal Indians (not included in the census) 
in the territory in 1883, according to the report of 
the commissioner of Indian affairs, was 38, .527.

l^'e'tv Orleans, La., a city. 

I^e'W Orleans (Fr. La Nouvelle Orleans), La., 
the chief city and commercial metropolis of the State, 
port of entry, and the 10th city of the U. States in 
point of population, is situated in lat. 29° 57' 30" N., 
Ion. 90" 8' W., on the left side of the Mississippi R. 
(except the annexed town of Algiers which is on 
the right bank), 115 m. above its mouth, 953 m. be- 
low the mouth of the Ohio, and 1,149 m. below the 
mouth of the Missouri, 1,195 ni. S.W. of Washington 
by the great Southern Mail, and 690 m. S. of St. Louis 
by the C.,St.L.&N.O.RR. It embraces nearly the 
whole of Orleans parish, with parts of Jefferson and 
Plaquemines, reaching on the N. and E. to Lakes 
Ponchartrain and Borgne. The older portion of the 
city is built within a great bend of the river, from 
which circumstance it derives its familiar name of 
the " Crescent City." In the progress of its growth 
up stream, it has now so extended itself as to follow 
long curves in opposite directions, so that the river- 
front on the left bank presents an outline somewhat 
resembling the letter S. The statutory limits of the 
city embrace an area of nearly 150 sq. m., but the ac- 
tual city covers an area of abt. 41 sq. m. It is built 
.on an inclined plan, descending gently from the 
river towards the swamp in the rear ; so that when 
the Mississippi is full, the streets are 3 or 4 ft. below 
the surface of the river. To prevent inundation an 
artificial embankment called the Levee has been 
raised at a great expense. This Levee is 15 ft. wide 
and 14 ft. high, and is constructed for a great distance 
along the river bank. Directly in front of the city it 
affords a very pleasant walk. The view of the city 
from the river, in ascending or descending, is beau- 
tiful, and on entering it, the stranger finds it difficult 
to believe that he has arrived at an American city. 
This remark applies especially to the central and 
lower parts, where the older buildings are ancient 
and of foreign construction, where the manners, 
customs and language are so various ; the popula- 
tion being very nearly equally made up of Americans, 
French, Creoles and Spaniards, with a mixture of 
almost evei-y nation on the globe. During the months 
of July, August, Sei)t. and Oct., the population is 
much I'educed through fear of the yellow fever, which 
appeared for the first time in New Orleans, in 1769,

or, according to Dr. Bennet Dowler, in 1796. It is, 
nevertheless, remarkable that this fever, of which the 
natives and older residents have been to a great ex- 
tent exempted, even in the most fatal seasons, is not 
now so permanently dangerous as it was in the first 
half of this century, and is even for years without 
making its appearance. Apart from yellow fever. 
New Orleans is not surpassed in healthfulness by 
any large city. Among the public buildings and 
monuments the most noticeable are the cathedral of 
St. Louis, and, fronting Jackson square, the custom 
house, commenced in 1848 and not yet finished ; the 
branch mint of the U. States, the new cotton ex- 
change, built in 188JJ-3 ; the bronze equestrian statue 
of Jackson, by Clark Mills, in Jackson square, and 
the colossal bronze statue of Henry Clay, by Hart, 
in Canal street. By its width, the splendor of its 
buildings, and the elegance and good taste of its 
stores, Canal street, which is the line of separation 
between the two parts of the town popularly called 
the French and the American, may advantageously 
compete with any other street of the Northern States. 
There are in New Orleans about 60 churches or places 
of public worship. The benevolent institutions are 
numerous, the more remarkable being the charity 
hospital, which accommodates abt. 500 patients, and 
is attended by the sisters of charity ; the asylums for 
old men and widows, belonging to the ladies of 
Providence ; Stowe's hospital ; the Franklin infirm- 
ary ; the U. States naval hospital, &c. There are abt. 
17 cemeteries in and around the city, in which the 
usual mode of sepulture is above ground, the soil 
being so moist and marshy that interment beneath 
is objectionable. Many of these tombs are costly and 
elegant structures. Besides the public schools, which 
•make great progress, there are numerous private 
schools, two flourishing medical colleges, a Roman 
Catholic ecclesiastical seminary, a college under 
the Jesuits, a convent and academy of Ursuline nuns, 
a convent of Redemptorists, free schools directed by 
members of several religious orders, &c. There were 
in 1882, 27 daily, weekly, and monthly papers ; 7 nat. 
and 4 State banks. The principal theatres are the 
French opera house, the academy of music, the St. 
Charles theatre, and the Grant opera house. The 
city is well provided with water, and its fire depart- 
ment is admirably organized. New Orleans is the 
grand emporium of all the vast regions traversed by 
the Mississippi and its tributary streams, and enjoys. 
In consequence, a greater command of internal navi- 
gation than any other city either of the new or old 
world. Dense populations are still to be found in 
comparatively small portions only of the immense 
territories of which this city is the entrepot ; and yet 
her progress, up to the outbreak of the Civil War, 
has been rapid beyond all precedent. The war, how- 
ever, proved in the highest degree disastrous to the 
interests of New Orleans, by momentarily annihila- 
ting the cotton trade, and checking the commerce 
and industry of the Southern States. Within the last 
few years, however, notwithstanding the competition 
of the eastern railroads, and chiefly owing to the im- 
provements made at the mouth of the Mississippi 
which allow vessels of the largest size to ascend the 
river up to the city, commerce has greatly revived, 
and business found its old channel. New Orleans is 
the terminus of the C.,St.L.&N.O., the M's.L.&T., 
and the N.O.&T.RRs. There are lines of steamers 
running to the Northern ports, to the West Indies, 
South America, and Europe. New Orleans ranks next 
to New York in the value of its exports and 4th for 
its entire foreign commerce, several ports surpassing 
It in the value of imports. The value of imports 
for 1883 was $12,255,496; of exports, $70,701,927, 
in which cotton entered for 1,237,963 bales or 
$63,609,828. The number of entrances in the foreign 
trade for that year was 619 of 620,072 tons ; clear- 



ances 640 of 661,498 tons ; belonging to the port 453 
vessels of 24,265 tons and 51 steamers of 28,631 tons 
New Orleans is emphatically the greatcotton market 
of the world. The cotton crop for 1881 reached 
6,589,329 bales, of which 1,586,000 were received here 
In the same year 273,000,000 lbs. of sugar were raised 
in La., of which 174,644 hogshead and 47,435 barrels 
reached this port, together with 272,962 barrels of 
molasses. The receipts of rice were 48,185,000 lbs.; 
of tobacco, 11,584 hogsheads. Owing to the new 
system of barges used for transportation on the 
Mississippi, the grain trade is rapidly growing. The 
quantities received in 1881 were 9,137,373 bush of 
corn and 6,523,747 of wheat. The total value of the 
principal articles of produce received from the in- 
terior during the same year was .$197,758,175. The 
manuf. interests of the city are now making marked 
progress. New Orleans is divided into 7 districts ; it 
is governed by a mayor and 7 administrators elected 
by the people for 2 years. In 1882 the total city debt 
was $16,872,220 ; the assessment of taxable property 
was $103,177,149; and the total tax reached 31f 
mills. — The site of New Orleans was surveyed in 1717 
by De la Tour ; it was settled in 1723, held by the 
French till 1729, then by the Spanish till 1801, and by 
the French again till 1803, when, with the province 
of La., it was ceded to the U. States. It was incorpo- 
rated as a city in 1804. The most memorable events 
in its history are the battle of Jan. 8, 1815, in 
which the British were defeated by Andrew Jackson, 
and the capture of the city by Admiral Farragut on 
April 24, 1862. Pop. in 1810, 17,243 ; in 1860, 168,675 ;

sett Bay, 35 m. S.S.E. Providence, and 68 m. S. of Bos- 
ton byO.C.RR. Daily steamers from New York to Fall 
R., Mass., touch here. Newport has a fine harbor, 
which may be entered at all times without a pilot, 
and is safe, commodious, and deep enough for the 
largest ships. It is defended by Fort Adams on Breu- 
ton's Point. The city is on a declivity facing the har- 
bor, and contains a State house, custom house, city 
hall, the Redwood library with 30,000 volumes, the 
People's library (free) with 15,000 volumes, the ma- 
sonic hall, armory hall, and numerous elegant pri- 
vate residences. Its salubrious climate, refreshing 
ocean breezes, facilities for sea bathing, and charm- 
ing natural scenery have rendered it one of the most 
popular summer resorts in the U. States, and the visi- 
tors during the fashionable season are numbered by 
thousands. The whole S. portion of the island is now 
dotted over with villas, and there are several large 
hotels. The older part of the c^ity is interesting for 
its quaint and picturesque appearance. The com- 
merce of Newport is now very limited, and its 
manuf. are almost confined to a few cotton mills, a 
brass foundry, and lead works. In 1880 there were 
153 vessels of 6,037 tons in aggregate belonging to 
the port. The city has 1 endorsed high and several 
public and private schools, 5 nat. and 4 other banks, 
1 daily and 3 wkly papers, and a paid fire de]»art- 
meut. The society of Friends' have had their annual 
meetings here for abt. 250 years. The U. States tor- 
pedo station is located on an island in Newport har- 
bor. Newport was settled in 1638, and was soon no- 
ted for the enterprise, activity, opulence and refine- 
ment of its inhabitants. During the revolution 8,000 
British and Hessian troops, who were quartered in 
the town, destroyed 480 houses, burned the shipping, 
cut down all the groves for fuel, Ac, and the com- 
mercial interests of Newport have never recovered 
from the injury which they inflicted. Pop. 15,693.

New^ Vork, " the Empire State," is bounded 
N.W. and N. by Lake Erie, Lake Ontario, the St. 
Lawrence R. and the Province of Quebec, E. by Lake 
Champlain, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, 
and the Atlantic Ocean, S. and S.W. by the Atlantic 
Ocean, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is situated 
between lat. 40° 30' and 45° N., Ion. 71° 51' and 79° 
46' W. The extreme length from E. to W. is 412 m., 
and the width from N. to S. 311 m. The State has a 
water boundary of 880 m. (of which the ocean con- 
stitutes 250 m., the rivers 280 and the lakes 350), and 
a land boundary of 540 m.; area, 49,170 (or, water 
surface excluded, 47,620 sq. m.). The surface of the 
State is much diversified. Long Island is flat and 
sandy. On both sides of the Hudson R. are the High- 
lands, some summits of which reach an elevation of 
1,700 ft. North of these are the Catskill Mts., situ- 
ated chiefly in Greene co., of which Round Top and 
High Peak, abt. 3,800 ft. in height, are the mostcon- 
spicuous peaks. Beyond the water-shed which turns 
the drainage toward the N., the country is rolling 
and diversified. Extending over a considerable part of 
the four N.E. cos., Clinton, Franklin, Hamilton, and 
Essex, is the "Adirondack wilderness," which, after 
the White Mts. of N.H., contain the most lofty sum- 
mits of the N. spur of the Appalachian range, Mt. 
Mary being 5,402 ft. and Mt. Mclntyre 5,106 ft. above 
sea level. The principal rivers are the Hudson, Dela- 
ware, Susquehanna, Mohawk, Oswego, Genesee, 
Niagara, Alleghany, and St. Lawrence. Besides the 
frontier Lakes Ontario and Erie, N. Y. has many lakes 
of considerable size, among the principal of which 
are Lakes Champlain, George, Otsego, Oneida, Ska- 
neateles, Cayuga, Seneca, Crooked, Cauandaigua, 
Chautauqua and Cattaraugus. The principal islands 
are Manhattan, Long Island, and Staten Island. — 
There is a wide range of temperature and there are 
great variations in the climate. The mean tempera- 
ture of the State, as determined from observations 
made at 58 meteorological stations, for periods rang- 
ing from 1 to 25 years, is 46.49°. The mean length of 
the season of vegetation, from the first blooming of 
apples to the first killing frost, is 174 days, while on 
Long Island it is 12J days longer, and in St. Law- 
rence CO., 22 days shorter. The mean annual fall of 
rain and snow Is abt. 40.93 inches. Notwithstanding 
the mountainous and broken character of much of its 
surface, the greater part of the soil of N.Y. is arable, 
and some of it very fertile. Most of the mountainous 
districts are fine grazing lands, and yield the best 
milk, butter and cheese. The plains and valleys are 
adapted to the culture of ceieals, and the N. and

N.W. counties to root-crops. Ihe forest trees of the 
State present a great variety, and a few years ago 
nearly one-half its area was covered with forests, but 
the great demand for timber, lumber, and hemlock 
and oak bark, for building ships, houses, railroads, 
and for tanning purposes, has much reduced the 
forest area. N.Y. occupies a foremost place in agri- 
culture. Its principal prod, for the census year 

1880 were 7,792,063 bush, of barley, 4,461,200 of buck- 
wheat, 25,875,480 of corn, 37,575,506 of oats, 2,634,690 
of rye, 11,587,766 of wheat, 32^71,900 of potatoes, 6,- 
572,800 lbs. oftobacco,700,550 tons of hay,and 11,206,- 
730 lbs. of wool. There were on farms 610,358 horses 
(besides abt. 350,000 not in farms), 5,072 mules, 39,- 
633 working oxen, 1,437,855 milch cows, 862,233 
other cattle, 1,715,180 sheep, and 751,907 hogs. — 
Among the minerals of economic value the most im- 
portant is iron. Galena, or lead ore, is found in St. 
Lawrence and other cos. in large quantities. Salt 
springs, from which a vast amount of salt is made, 
occur along the line of the Onondaga salt group, es- 
pecially in Ouondago co., the product of which, in 
1880, was 8,748,203 bis., valued at $1,106,740. The 
State abounds in building material ; its granite, 
white and colored marbles, sandstones, and gray 
and blue limestones, as well as its excellent clay 
and sand for brick, furnish a sufficiency of ma- 
terial for its dwellings. In 1880, there were 78 
iron mines, employing 4,675 hands, produced 
1,239,759 tons of ore, valued at 13,419,132. The State 
has numerous mineral springs of high repute — the 
most famous of which are those at Saratoga, Balston, 
New Lebanon, Avon and Sharon. Petroleum is ob- 
tained in Alleghany co. In Chautauqua, Dutchess, 
Oneida,and Monroe cos. are illuminating gas-springs. 
— According to the census of 1880, almost one-fifth 
of the capital invested in manuf. in the U. States 
was employed in N.Y., and abt. a quarter of the en- 
tire pioducts of the country was the result of N.Y. 
industry. The State had in the census year 42,739 
manuf. establishments, employing 364,549 men, 137,- 
455 females above 15 years, and 29,529 children and 
youth ; capital invested, $514,246,575 ; wages paid 
during the year, $198,63i4,029 ; value of materials, 
$679,612,545 ; value of products, $1,080,696,596. The 
leading industries are agricultural implements, book- 
binding, boots and shoes, carriages, clothing, cotton 
goods, flouring, furniture, iron works of every de- 
scription, leather, liquors (malt), lumber, molasses, 
and sugar (refined), printing and publishing, 
tobacco and cigars, and woolen goods. — N.Y. is 
divided, for commercial purposes, into 10 cus- 
toms districts, viz.: Buffalo Creek, Cape Vincent, 
Champlain (port of entry Plattsburg), Dunkirk, Gene- 
see (Rochester), New York, Niagara (Suspension 
Bridge), Owegatchie (Ogdensburg), Oswego and Sag 
Harbor. The total number of merchant vessels be- 
longing to the State was 4,273 of 962,220 tons.— In 

1881 the total number of miles of railroads in the 
State was 9,186, of which 477 m. were horse-railways. 
This includes the elevated railroads in the city of 
New York. The steam surface-roads have cost $695,- 
525,828, the horse-railways $40,686,946, and the ele- 
vated roads $33,038,332, a total of $770,251,107.24. The 
steam surface-roads carried 47,197,385 pasengers dur- 
ing the year, the horse-roads 244,900,717, and the ele- 
vated roads 60,831,757. The steam surface-roads also 
carried 57,356,128 tons of freight. Their aggregate 
earnings were $108,965,556.04," operating expenses 
$64,996,989.54, leaving as net earnings $43,968,566.50, 
or 6| per cent, on the cost. The earnings of horse- 
railroads amounted to $13,449,121 ; cost of operating, 
$9,1.57,457 ; net earnings, $4,291,664, or lOi per cent, 
of cost. Earnings of elevated roads, $4,612,975 ; ex- 
pense of operating, $2,644,525 ; surplus, $1,968,650, or 
abt. 6 per cent, on the cost. The aggregate of stock 
and debts was $905,507,218 for steam and $42,990,204 



for horse-roads, but of the former only $662 871 488 
represents roads within the limits of the State'— N Y 
has 14 State canals, whose total length is 857 m The 
most important is the Erie Canal (355 m ) which 
connects Lake Erie with the Hudson R., and affords 
a contmuous water channel through which the pro- 
duce of the Western States and Canada may reach 
the port of New York. The tonnage of transporta- 
tion for the year 1880 was 6,462,290 ; tolls, $1,155,257. 
—Free schools are established for all between the 
ages of 5 and 21 years. In 1881, the number of 
persons of school age was 1,662,813, of which 
1,021,282 were attending school ; number of school 
houses, 11,894; number of teachers, 30,826; esti- 
mated value of school houses and sites, 31,091,- 
630 ; total expenditures for school purposes, $10,808,- 
802. Each city, for convenience, has an independent 
school government, district schools being maintained 
in the several wards, and the whole completed by a 
high school, where the academic stHudard is well 
maintained. Private schools are quite numerous in 
the cities, and there are many academies throughout 
the State providing secondary instruction. The city 
of New York has a normal school for the instruction 
of teachers under its separate control, and there are 8 
normal schools in different portions of tlie State un- 
der the joint management of the superintendent of 
public instruction and local boards. The university 
system of the State for the supervision of higher and 
secondary instruction is, in some respects, peculiar 
to New York. Regents of the university are elected 
by the legislature. The university does not exist, but 
the regents are active and influential. The colleges 
of the State, while independent of the regents in the 
absolute sense, are, nevertheless, largely under their 
influence. Institutions of learning, devoted to special 
scientific education, exist in various sections, so that 
the entire field is fully covered. — A general board of 
charities has general supervision over the public in- 
stitutions, with the exception of prisons. N.Y. has 3 
State prisons at Auburn, Clinton, and Sing Sing. 
Their average number of inmates in 1881, was 9,981. 
There are 6 county penitentiaries at New York, Brook- 
lyn, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. For 
the blind there are State institutions at Batavia and 
New York City. In the latter city also is the school 
for the instruction of the deaf and dumb. TheElmlra 
reformatory had 493 inmates in 1880. The house of 
refuge for boys, on Randall's Island will contain 
1,000, and the Western institution, at Rochester 600. 
There is also a new house of refuge for women at 
Hudson. Asylums for the insane have been opened at 
Utica, Poughkeepsie, Buffalo, Middletown,aud Bing- 
hampton, and there are besides several incorporated 
and private asylums. The number of inmates in all the 
State and private asylums is constantly increasing 
and had reached 10,059 in 1881.— N.Y. is divided into 
60 COS., viz.: Albany, Alleghany, Broome, Cattarau- 
gus, Cayuga, Chautauqua, Chemung, Chenango, 
Clinton, Columbia, Cortland, Delaware, Dutchess, 
Erie, Essex, Franklin, Fulton, Genesee, Greene, 
Hamilton, Herkimer, Jefferson, Kings, Lewis, Liv- 
ingston, Madison, Monroe, Montgomery, New York,

Richmond, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Scho- 
harie, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, St. Lawrence. 
Suffolk, Sullivan, Tioga, Tompkins, Ulster, Warren, 
Washington, Wayne, Westchester, Wyoming, Yates. 
The cap. of the State is Albany.— The constitution 
adopted in 1846, as several times amended, is still In 
force The legislature, which meets on the Ist Tues- 
day in January, consists of a senate of 32 members 
elected for 2 years, and an assembly of 128 members 
elected for 1 year. Executive officers are elected lor 
2 vears, with the exception of the governor and lieu- 
tenant-governor, who serve for 3 years. The highest

judicial tribunal of the State is the court of appeals, 
which consists of a chief and six associate judges. 
There are 33 justices of the supreme coiyt, 4 in each 
of the 8 judicial districts, except tlie first, comprising 
the city and co. of New Yorl\, in which the number is 
5. The supreme court has general original jurisdic- 
tion. Every co. has its co. court, surrogate court, 
and sevei-al justices of the peace. The judges of the 
various courts are elected by the people, those of the 
court of appeals and supreme court for 14, of co. 
courts for 6, and justices of the peace for 4 years. 
The State sends 34 representatives to congress, and 
has 36 electoral votes. In 1881 the State funded 
debt was 89.114,054. The receipts into the treasury 
amounted to §14,940,403 ; expenditures, $12,856,760. 
The assessed value of property was $2,681,257,606, of 
which $2,340,335,690 was real estate, and $340,921,916 
personal property. — John De Verrazzano, a Floren- 
tine in command of a French vessel, landed upon 
the soil of N. Y. in 1524. Henry Hudson sailed up the 
river which now bears his name in 1609. A trading 
post and fort were built near Albany in 1614. In Aug. 
1664, the Dutch dominions were surrendered to the 
English. N. Y. is one of the original 13 States ; framed 
a constitution in 1777, and ratified the U. States con- 
stitution July 26, 1788. Pop. in 1790, 340,120 ; in 1830, 
1,918,608; in 1860, 3,880,735; in 1870, 4,382,759; in 
1880, 5,082,871 (of whom 2,505,322 males and 2,577,549 
females ; 3,871,493 natives, and 1,211,379 of foreign 
birth ; 5,016,032 whites, 65,104 colored, 926 Chinese, 
and 819 Indians). 

— the principal city of the above State, the commer- 
cial metropolis of the U. States, the most popular 
city of the Western hemisphere, the third in the civi- 
lized world, and second only to London in commer- 
cial importance. It lies at the mouth of the Hudson 
R., at its confluence with a narrow strait called East 
R., which falls into Long Island Sound, 18 m. from 
the Atlantic Ocean, 143 m. S. of Albany, 90 m. N.E. of 
Philadelphia, 205 m. N.E. Washington, 234 m. S.W. 
Boston, 715 m. E. of Chicago, and 1,370 m. N.E. of 
New Orleans. The city occupies the entire surface of 
Manhattan Island; several islands in the East R., 
and in the Bay ; and a portion of the mainland N. of 
Manhattan Island and separated from it by Harlem 
R. and Spuyten Duyvel Creek. The extreme length 
N. from the battery is 16 m.; greatest width from 
the Hudson to the mouth of Bronx R., 4^ m.; area, 
nearly 41^ sq. m., or 26,500 acres, of which 12,100 
acres are on the mainland. Manhattan Island, on 
which the city proper stands, is 13| m. long, and 
varies in breadth from a few hundred yards to 2J m., 
having an area of nearly 23 sq. ra. The older portion 
of the city below 14th St. is somewhat irregularly 
laid out. The plan of the upper part includes avenues 
running N. to the boundary of the island, and streets 
running across them at right angles from river to 
river. The city is compactly built to Central Park, 
abt. 5 m. from the Battery, and on the E. side for the 
most part to Harlem, 3J m. farther. Distances are 
calculated from the City Hall, which is in lat 40° 42' 
40" N., Ion. 74°1' 8" W. A rocky ridge runs through 
the centre of the city, rising at Washington Heights 
238 ft. above sea-level. The city is connected with 
the mainland of N.Y. by bridges across the Harlem 
R., with Long Island by a magnificent suspension 
bridge across the East R., and with New Jersey, 
Long Island, and Staten Island by 26 steam ferries. 
Ten railroads radiate from the city, while the finest 
passenger steamboats in the world pass up the Hud- 
son, Long Island Sound, and down the narrows, 
through the lower bay. A tunnel under the Hudson 
R. is in process of construction by a company with 
$10,000,000 capital, which is intended to furnish the 
means of extending the railways which now termi- 
■ natc on the New Jersey side of the river to the heart 
of the city of N.Y. Tiie harbor is spacious and safe, 



the inner harbor extending 8 m. from the NaiTows 
to the city, and several miles farther up both the 
North and East Rs., but particularly the latter. It is 
abt. 25 m. in circumference, and the largest vessels 
come to its wharves. Besides this, it has an outer 
harbor, extending from the Narrows to Sandy Hook, 
consisting of Raritan bay. Sandy Hook, ou which is 
a light house, is 18 m. from the city ; and at this 
point, there are 27 ft. of water on the bar at high tide, 
and 21 ft. at low tide. Within Sandy Hook, there is 
a good anchorage. Tie harbor is entered not only 
from the ocean at Sandy Hook and through the Nar- 
rows, but on the N.E. from Long Island Sound, and 
on the S.W. through the Kills and Staten Island 
Sound. Several islands within the inner harbor are 
attached to the city, which are Governor's, Bedloe's 
(the proposed site of the colossal statue of Liberty 
which France is to present to N.Y. ), and Ellis is- 
lands, on all of whicn are strong fortifications ; and 
Blackwell's, Great Bam, and Randall's islands, in the 
East R. After passing the bar at Sandy Hook, the 
chauml to the city has a depth of water of from 35 
to 50 ft. The average tide at the wharves is from 6 
to 7 ft. Steamboats are constantly emploj-ed in tow- 
ing vessels to and from the ocean. The safest and 
best portion of the harbor, and where the vessels 
chiefly lie, is along East R., where there is rarely any 
obstruction from ice. The tide sweeping through 
this part with a strong and rapid current. The ex- 
cellence of its harbor, and other great natural advan- 
tages, have contributed to make N.Y. the second 
commercial city on the globe. — The city co-extensive 
with the CO. of same name, is built of brick, brown 
sandstone, and white marble, and is now rivaling in 
splendor any of the European capitols. It is impossi- 
ble to even enumerate here all the public and busi- 
ness buildings which should command description, 
among which are the city hall, court-house, post- 
olfice, St. Patrick's cathedral. Trinity church, Grace 
church, academy of music. Cooper institute, Drexel, 
Western Union, Park bank. Herald, Tribune, Tem- 
ple court. Masonic temple, academy of design. 
Grand Central depot, young men's christian asso- 
ciation, and the numerous great hotels, several of 
which have accommodations for more than a thou- 
sand persons. There are abt. 500 churches of all 
denominations. The public school system comprises 
113 primary schools and departments and 104 gram- 
mar schools, besides 5 grammar and primary schools 
for colored children ; a normal college for girls, 1 
nautical school, and the college of the city of New 
York. In 1880 there were 264,163 children attending 
public schools, and the teachers numbered 3,288. Be 
sides, there are 35 Roman Catholic schools, and col- 
leges and academies of the religious orders. Colum- 
bia college is one of the oldest in the country ; the 
university of the city of New York has been more 
recently established. Each has departments of law 
and medicine, and there are two other medical col- 
leges, several theological seminaries, and many pri- 
vate academies. The hospitals and institutions of 
charity and benevolence are on a liberal scale, 
and too numerous for notice here. Among them 
are asylums for insane, blind, deaf and dumb, 
magdalens, foundlings, &c. The Astor, mercantile, 
society, apprentices', historical societ}-, eclectic, law 
institute. Cooper union, young men's christian 
association, Lenox, and other libraries not connected 
with institutions of learning, have in aggregate abt. 
600,000 volumes. There were in 1882, 543 newspapers 
and periodicals published in N.Y., of which 28 were 
daily. The academy of music, the house of Italian 
opera, has seats for"4,700 persons, and there are about 
25 other theatres giving nightly entertainments. The 
Central Park, laid out in the best style of landscape- 
gardening, is one of the largest and finest in the world, 
embracing a rectangular area, of 843 acres. A large

portion of it is occupied by the two Croton reservoirs, 
besides which the lakes, 5 iu number, occupy 43J 
acres. Fourteen other small public parks and 
squares are scattered over the city. The Croton 
aqueduct brings a river of pure soft water 40 m. 
which is reserved in reservoirs of a capacity of 9,- 
500,000,000 gallons, and distributed through abt. 400 
m. of pipes with such a head as to supply public foun- 
tains of 60 and 80 feet Jets, and the ujjper stories of 
most buildings. This supply has become scarcely suf- 
ficient for the actual population, and works are to be 
soon undertaken as to obtain alarge increase of supply 
at an estimated cost of $25,000,000. The city govern- 
ment is composed of a mayor, boards of aldermen and 
councilmen, and bureaux of various departments. The 
police force consists of 3,000 men, with salaries of 
|l,000 to $8,000 a year. The commissioners of charity 
and correction have direction of asylums, hospitals, 
and prisons. Commissioners of emigration receive 
and attend to the wants of emigrants. A paid fire de- 
partment exists, with 43 steam rire engines, 2 chemical 
engines, 19 hook and ladder trucks, and 850 men, cost- 
ing abt. .$1,300,000 annually.— In 1880 the valuation 
of real estate was $1,049,340,336, personal property, 
$197,532,075 ; total valuation, $1,246,872,411 ; bonded 
debt, $136,406,733; floating debt, $6,039,966; total 
indebtedness, $142,446,700 ; share of State tax, $2,- 
368,906 ; city tax, $20,935,926; total taxation, exclusive 
of school, $23,304,832 ; school tax, $1,382,155.— N.Y. 
has 25 m. of water-front available for docks. There 
are abt. 70 piers on the EastR. and 80 on the Hudson 
R. The control of the water-front is vested in 3 com- 
missioners of docks. N.Y. has direct communication 
with the principal coastwise and transatlantic ports 
by numerous lines of steamers. Besides the Hudson 
R. and other local boats, there are more than 20 lines 
to various ports on the Atlantic and gulf coasts, 
owning 75 steamers, with an aggregate of 75,000 tons. 
To the West Indies and South America six lines 
despatch 25 steamers with an aggregate tonnage of 
75,600. These include the Pacific Mail line, running 
via the Isthmus of Panama to San Francisco, and a 
line to Rio de Janeiro. There are 12 lines of ocean 
steamers to British ports, with 105 ships of 310,460 
tons, and 7 lines to continental ports, with 69 ships 
of 205,614 tons. —N.Y. is the great centre of American 
finance and commerce. More than half the commerce 
of the U. States is carried on through the customs 
district of which it is the port, and abt. two-thirds 
of the duties are here collected, the whole amount 
for the year 1882 being $216,138,916, of which $149,- 
334,077wascollectedintheN.Y. district. This district 
besides the city, embraces the greater part of Long 
Island, including Brooklyn ; Staten Island ; the New 
Jersey shore N. of Staten Island, including Jersey 
City ;*and the shores of Hudson R. The value of im- 
ports at the port of N.Y. for the year 1882 was $521,- 
375,897 ; domestic exports, $370,497,741 ; of foreign 
exports, $16,162,827. Total value of imports and ex- 
ports, $837,564,666, which represents 56.78 per cent, 
of the entire commerce of the country. During that 
year 1,806 American vessels of 1,075,682 tons, and 
4,719 foreign vessels of 6,285,161 tons entered ; and 
1,374 American vessels of 892,739 tons, and 4,806 
foreign vessels of 6,370,435 tons, cleared in the 
foreign trade. The number of vessels belonging to 
the district in 1882 was 4,002, with an aggregate 
tonnage of 945,646, viz.: 2,444 sailing vessels of 
518,693 tons, 9!54 steamers of 325,427 tons, 172 canal- 
boats of 16,988 tons, and 432 barges of 88,538 tons. 
The number of vessels built in the district in 1882 
was 158, with an aggregate tonnage of 19,729. — The 
domestic trade of N.Y. is immense, by far exceeding 
the foreign, but on this only partial, and not always 
reliable, information is obtainable. It is carried on by 
means of the numerous lines of railroads, the Hudson 
R., the Erie Canal, and the coasting steamers. The 



demand of the whole country for foreign goods and 
most of the products of domestic nuumf is to a 
great extent, supplied by the N.Y. importers, iobbers 
and commission merchants. There are several ijower- 
tul organizations of business men to develop and 
regulate the foreign and domestic trade of the port 
foremost among which are the chamber of commerce 
whose beneficial influence is felt far beyond tiie limits 
of the city, the board of trade and transportation the 
produce exchange, the cotton exchange, etc.— The 
naanuf. of N.Y. are only inferior to lis mercantile 
interests ; they are of considerable impoitanee and 
very varied (see New York State).— The city had 162 
banks and banking houses in 1882 (national 48, State 
24, savings 24, private 66). A clearing-house was 
organized in 1853 to faciliate the transaction of busi- 
ness and the settlement of accounts between its 
members. Its transactions during the year lss2 were 
exchange, $46,552,846,161 ; balances, $1,595,000,245. 
—N.Y. was first settled by a Dutch colony in 1614. 
At the end of that year the future mctrojiolis consisted 
of 4 houses and a small fort on the site ot the 
present Bowling Green, and was known as New 
Amsterdam. In 1644 (pop. 1,000) it was surrendered 
to the British, and passing into the hands of the 
Duke of York,was thenceforward called New York. In 
1696 Trinity church was founded. Pop. iu 1700, 6,000;

Indians of Northern Idaho, belonging to what is 
called the Sahaptin stock, remarkable for certain 
grammatical peculiarities in their languages. They 
occupy a reservation of 1,344,000 acres, to which they 
were removed from Oreg. and Wash. T., and which 
is said to contain the best land in that section. They 
are generally friendly to the whites, but there are 
several hundred who are discontented and refuse 
any favors from white men. The " treaty " Nez Per-

by tributaries of the Clearwater and Salmon Rs. The 
surface is generally rugijed and mountainous. The 
valley of Clearwater contains extensive arable lands, 
and Camas prairie in the N. W. corner is very fertile. 
Gold is mined to some extent. The chief prod, in 1880

I^iag'ara [Indian " thunder of water"]. iV. T.. a 
celebrated river, forming the boundary between the 
State of New York and the province of Ontario, 
Canada, and connecting Lake Erie with Lake On- 
tario, is 36 m. long, and has a total fall of 333 ft. It 
is navigable in its upper course from its issue from 
Lake- Erie to the commencement of the rapids at 
Niao-ara Falls, a distance of 16 m. during which its 
fall "is only 20 ft.; ana in its lower course from Lew- 



NIA 



720 



NIC 



iston to Lake Ontario, a distance of abt. 8 m. during 
which its fall is only 2 ft. Alonsj its middle course, 
which contains the celebrated Niwjnra Falh and is 
crossed by two suspension bridges, on the Canadian 
side is the Welland Canal, through which the navi- 
gation interrupted by the rai)ids and falls of the mid- 
dle course of the river is carried on. On issuing from 
Lake Erie the river is 5 m. broad ; but as it flows on 
it becomes several miles wide, making room for a 
number of islands, the largest of which, Grand Is- 
land, is 12 m. long, and from 2 to 7 broad, which 
reaches within IJ m. of the falls, the river is contrac- 
ted to a breadth of 2i m. and grows narrower as it 
proceeds, and before it makes the great leap it de- 
scends 52 ft. over a series of rapids. At the edge of 
the cataract the width of the river is abt. 4,750 ft., but 
the edge itself does not form one straight line. First, 
it is broken by Goat Island, which, abt. 1,000 ft. wide 
and 2,000 ft. long, rises 40 ft. above the water and ex- 
tends out to the very brink, thus dividing the fall in- 
to two. Next, it forms between Goat Island and the 
Canadian shore a large curve, bent inward, which, 
resembling a horse-shoe, gives this part of the fall 
the name of the Horse-shoe Fall. The height of the 
cataract is 164 ft. on the American side of Goat Is- 
land and 150 on the Canadian. From the foot of the 
fall to Lewiston, a distance of 7 miles after which it 
enters a level region, the river descends 104 ft. run- 
ning through a deep and narrow gorge, whose width 
varies from 200 to 400 ft. and whose sides rise almost 
perpendicularly, so that access to the river can be 
had only by stairways. About one-eighth of a mile be- 
low the falls a suspension bridge is thrown across 
the river, 190 ft. above the water, 1,190 ft. from cliil 
to cliff and 1,2(38 ft. from tower to tower ; it was fin- 
ished in 1869, and presents a magnificent view of the 
falls. In 1855 another suspension bridge was con- 
structed across the river abt. 2 miles below the falls, 
245 ft. above the water and 821 ft. from tower to tow- 
er. Among the great cataracts of the globe, that of 
Niagara stands preeminent for the enormous volume 
of water that is carried over so high a precipice. 
There are many cataracts which descend from greater 
heights, but the sublimity of Niagara is in the vast 
power displayed by a mighty current descending 
down the long rapids, and finally plunging in one 
unbroken sheet into the deep abyss below. In the 
deep chasm below the fall, the current, contracted in 
width to less than 1,000 ft. is tossed tumultuously 
about, and forms great whirlpools and eddies as it is 
borne along its rapidly descending bed. The gorge 
through which the river flows below the falls, bears 
evidence of having been excavated by the river itself. 
In the short period, hardly reaching back into the 
last century, during which observations other than 
those of passing travelers have been made and pre- 
sej'ved, changes have taken place by the falling down 
of masses of rock, the effect of which has been to 
cause a slight recession of the cataract, and extend 
the gorge to the same amount upward toward Lake 
Erie. Thus in 1818 great fragments descended at the 
American fall, in 1828 at the Horse-shoe fall, and since 
1855 several others, which have materially changed 
the aspect of the falls.

North Carolina, a S.E. State, bounded N. 
by Virginia, E. by the Atlantic Ocean, S. by South 
Carolina, and W. by Teimessee. It is included nearly 
between lat. 34° and 36" 30' N., and lat. 75° 30' and 
84° 30' W. Its extreme length from E. to W. is 503^ 
m.; average breadth 100 m.; extreme breadth 187i 
m.; area, 48,580 m. Its topography may be described 
as a vast declivity, sloping down from the summits 
of the Smoky Mts., an altitude of nearly 7,000 ft., to 
the level of the ocean. The Smoky Mts. constitute 
a part of the great Appalachian chain, which here 
attains its greatest height. This slope is made up of 
3 wide extended terraces ; the 1st a high mountain 
plateau, distinguished as the Western or Mountain 
section ; the 2d, a submontane plateau, distinguished 
as the Middle section, of which the Western half is 
further distinguished as the Piedmont section ; the 
3d, the Atlantic plain, distinguished as the Low 
Country or Eastern section, and that i)art from the 
head of the tides downward as the Tide-water section. 
The State is traversed by two ranges of mountains. 
The 1st is the Blue Ridge, a grand and lofty chain, 
Avhich runs in a direction N.E. and S.W. entirely 
across the State. The principal summits are Cling- 
man's Peak (6,941 ft. hish), Buckley's Peak (6,775 
ft.), Mt. Mitchell (6,732 ft.), and Roan Mt. (6,306 ft.). 
The 2d, the Occoneeche and Uwharrie Mts., a range 
of much inferior elevation, crosses the State in a 
parallel direction near its centre. The principal rivers 
are the Chowan, Roanoke. Tar, Neuse, Cape Fear, 
and Yadkin. — The temperature of the lowlands is 
hot and humid, with a tendency to bilious diseases, 
but in the interior, particularly in the Piedmont and 
mountain section, the air is singularly pure, dry, 
and elastic. The heat of the summer daj' is suc- 
ceeded by cool, refreshing evenings and nights ; the 
winters, except at rare intervals, are mild and genial. 
The average rainfall throughout the State is 53 inches. 
Sandy and barren islands stretch along the 400 m. of 
coast, and shoals extend far out to sea, making the 
N.C. coast a terror to all mariners. Cape Hatteras is 
the extreme headland. Cape Lookout and Cape Fear 
are less extended ; but their names do no injustice to 
their dangerous character. Back of the sanely islands 
are extensive sounds and deep bays, the i)rinci])al of 
which are Pandico, Albemarle, and Currituck Sounds. 
More than two millions of acres of swamj) land in 
the east are covered with a growth of cedar and 
cypress, very valuable for timber. The" i)iney woods" 
extend across the State in a belt from 30 to 80 m. 
wide. Here grows to its perfection the long-leaved 
yellow pine, or turpentine tree. Hard woods jiredomi- 
iiate in the western section. — The swamp lands, when 
drained, produce very abundant crops. Much worn- 
out land is seen in the great midland district; but 
with suf^■cient fertilization it can be profitably culti- 
vated. The mountain region is well adu])ted for 
grazing. A semi-tropical climate is indicateil in the 
vegetation of the S.E. Palmetto trees are found as 
far N. as Cape Hatteras. The fig and pomegranate 
attain the dimensions of large trees. According to the 
census of 1880 there were in N.C. 6,481,191 acres of 
improved and 15,882,367 of unimproved land. The 
principal i)rod. lor the year 1880 were 27,959,894 Inish. 
of corn, 3,385,670 of wheat, 3,830,622 of barley, 284,993

of rye, 45,209 of buckwheat, 26,986,217 lbs. of tobacco, 
5,609,191 lbs. of rice, and 389,616 bales of cotton. In 
1880 the number of live stock on farms were 133,686 
horses, 81,871 mules, 50,188 workmg oxen, 232,133 
milch cows, 375,105 other cattle, 461,638 sheep, and 
1,453,541 hogs. The culture of the vine is now an es- 
tablished industry, and is being prosecuted with ex- 
cellent results. — The mineral resources of N.C. are 
very great, but thus far have not been fully developed. 
Gold occurs in numerous localities of the Middle and 
Piedmont countries, and has been rained for the last 
30 years with increasing success. The Gold Hill mines, 
in Rowan co., have yielded abt. $2,000,000 since they 
were first opened, 20 years ago. In 1803 a piece of gold 
weighing 28 lbs. was found in the Red Mine of Cabar- 
rus CO. Far more important than the precious metals, 
however, are iron and coal, which abound in the val- 
leys of the Deep and Dan Rs. Coal measures, exceed- 
ing 30 m. in length, have been discovered in Chat- 
ham and Moore cos., and others in Stokes and Rock- 
ingham cos. The coal is bituminous and of good 
quality. Graphite is found in Wake co. Copper ore 
is largely mined in Guilford co. Extensive mica mines 
are worked with great profit. In Davidson co. is an 
important zinc mine, containing also gold and silver 
quartz. — The total number of manuf. establishments 
in 1880 were 3,802, employing 18,109 hands ; capital 
invested, $13,045,639 ; wages paid during the year, 
$2,740,768 ; value of materials, $13,090,937; of pro- 
ducts, $20,095,037. Cotton manuf. has been long an 
established business in N.C. There were in 1883 64 
mills operating 2,858 looms and 156,030 spindles. The 
State stands second in the manufacture of smoking 
tobacco and fourth in manufacture of plug tobacco. 
In 1881 it manufactured 4,379,565 pounds of the 
former and 6,405,585 of the latter. There are 4 paper- 
mills, all water power, with a daily capacity of 8 tons 
of paper. There are also factories for the manuf. 
of agricultural implements, furniture and wood- 
work, sewing machines, &c. For a long period N.C. 
has been the principal source of supply for tar, pitch 
and turpentine. The products for the year 1880 were 
663,907 barrels of rosin, and 6,179,200 galls, of spirits 
of turpentine. The imports, exports, and shipping of 
the State are given under the names of the 4 custom 
districts, Albemarle, Beaufort, Pamlico, and Wil- 
mington. There were in 1882 1,619 m. of railroad in 
operation. — In 1880, the number of children of school 
age was 426,189 of whom 154,841 were colored ; the 
average attendance were 1.50,788, of whom 56,837 col- 
ored. The number of public schools were 3,342 ; of 
teachers 3,371. The total expenditure was $337,541. 
The principal higher institution is the N.C. uni- 
versity, at Chapel Hill (founded in 1795). The 
cities are Charlotte, Fayetteville, New Berne, 
Raleigh (the cap.), and Wilmington (the chief sea- 
port and largest city). — The legislature consists of a 
senate of 50 members and a house of representatives 
of 120 members, elected for 2 years ; sessions are held 
biennially. The governor (salary $4,000) and other 
executive officers are chosen for 4 years. Appellate 
jurisdiction is exercised by the supreme court, which 
consists of 5 judges. All judges are elected for 8 
years. N. C. sends'9 representatives to congress and 
has 11 electoral votes. In 1881 the State debt was $5,- 
006,616; the receipts into the treasury were $553,029; 
disbursements, $496,720; assessed value of I'eal estate, 
$101,799,424; of personal property, $54,468,817.— In 
1584 Queen Elizabeth granted letters patent to Sir 
Walter Raleigh " for the discovering and planting of 
new lands and countries." The first explorers landed 
on Roanoke Island July 4 (O. S.) of that year. The 
division between N. and S.C. was made in 1697. War 
was waged with the Tuscaroras until 1713. "The 
first blood for liberty" was shed at Alamance, May, 
1771. The battle of Guilford Court-House, March 15, 
1781, drove the invading British army under Corn- 



wallis from N.C. In 1789 the constitution of the U 
States, which had been rejected in 1788, was adopted' 
An ordmanee of secession was passed, and the con- 
stitution of the Confederate States was adopted Mav 
21, 1861. Hostilities were closed by the surrender of 
Gen. Johnston's army April 26, 1865. The present 
constitution was ratified in 1868. Pop. in 1790 393 -

Ohio, a river which from the extent of the area 
drained by its waters, the large facilities which it af- 
fords to internal commerce, and its relative position 
in the heart of the country, connecting the largest 
maritime States with the west, is second in import- 
ance only to the Mississippi. It is the great N.E. trib- 
utary of the " Father of Waters." Physically consid- 
ered, the River Alleghany, which rises in Potter co., 
Pa., on the W. slope of the Alleghany Mts., and 
which is navigable for boats of 100 tons for 270 m. 
above Pittsburgh, is one river with the Ohio, although 
it does not receive this name until it forms a junction 
with the Monongahela, another large tributary of the 
Ohio, coming down from the Alleghanies in the op- 
posite direction. This river, though a less important 
stream than the Alleghany, is about equal to it in 
width at their confluence, and is navigable at a good 
stage of water, for boats of a large size for abt. 100 
m. from its mouth. The Ohio proper is formed by the 
confluence of these two rivers at Pittsburgh, where 
the elevation is 680 ft. above tide water, and 380 ft. 
above the point of junction with the Mississippi. Its 
average descent is not quite Ave inches to the mile. 
Imnfediately below the junction the Ohio is 600 yards 
wide, and is a placid and beautiful stream. The 
French called it La Belle Riviere, the beautiful river. 
Its name, however, according to Heckeweldei', is an 
abbreviation of the Indian word OhiopekJiatuie, mean- 
ing a very white stream and alluding probably to 



the white caps with ^y1l,ch its gentle surface is cov- 
ered m a high wind. The total length of the Ohio is 
9<5 m ; but Irom Pittsburgh to the mouth of the river 
in a straight hue it is less than thrce-lifths of ihut 

?' xT^xT^'^i.-^i^ ''t?"''^'' ^'^^ ** P^^'^^^s ""t of Peiiusylvauia 
IS N.N.W. to Beaver, and thence W.S.W to the line 
of the State of Ohio. It then flows S. and S W be- 
tween Ohio and West Virginia, passing Wheeling, b6 
"• w*^o'w^"^','''"'S'^- The general course of the river 
IS W.S.W. After passing between Ohio and West 
Virginia, it borders the whole length of Kentuckv 
separating that State from Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois 
on the north. The width of the upper third of tlie 
river, between Pittsburgh and Point Pleasant, is 1 - 
000 ft. at low water and 1,200 ft. at high water 
thence gradually increasing till near the mouth, 
where, it is 3,000 ft. Its depth at different seasons is 
very fluctuating, the range between high and low wat- 
er being often 50 and sometimes 60 ft. and the usual 
range throughout the entire river is 45 ft. During 
portions of the summer and in the autumn, when the 
water is low, the larger steamboats ascend no further 
than Wheeling, and even below this point they pass 
with difficulty, or are arrested by the sand burs, wbich. 
with the low sandy islands, called towheads, badly 
obstruct the navigation. At the lowest stage, gener- 
ally in August and September, the river may be ford- 
ed at several places above Cincinnati. In the winter 
it is often frozen over, and for several weeks floating 
ice prevents its navigation. The rate of its current 
varies with the stage of the water from 1 to 3 m. an 
hour. The only rapids are at Louisville, and these are 
not insurmountable to all the steamboats, in 2J m. 
the fall is abt. 27 ft. A canal was long since construct- 
ed past these rapids at Louisville, through which 
steamers of 3,000 tons may pass. The country hor- 
deriug the Ohio is for the most part a thriving agri- 
cultural region, and many prosperous towns and 
cities have grown up within the present century on 
its banks. Manufactures are encouraged by the mines 
of coal and iron ore that abound. in the country 
traversed by this river and its tributaries, and tlie 
prod, of these add largely to the immense transpor- 
tation carried on by the boats. The tributaries of the 
Ohio from both sides are numerous, and many of 
them are important rivers, as the Muskinguni aad 
Miami of Ohio, the Wabash of Indiana and Illinois, 
and the Sandy, Licking, Kentucky, Cuniberlaud. 
Green, and Tennessee of Kentucky. The Ohio was 
discovered in 1680 by the French under La Salle. 
— a central State, bounded N. by Mich, and Lake 
Erie, E. by Pa. and W.Va., S. by W.Va. and Ky., 
and W. by Indiana. It is situated" between lal. ;S8° 
27' and 41° and 57' N., and Ion. 80° 34' and 84° 49' W.. 
extreme length 228 m., breadth 220 m.; area, 40,760 
sq. m. This State comprises about one-third of the 
region sloping from the Alleghanies in Pennsylvania 
down to the Mississippi. It possesses no very eleva- 
ted hill ranges, but consists alnio.<t wholly of a tal)le 
land elevated from 600 to 1,000 ft. aliove sea-level; 
the central position of the State being the highest. 
This, also, which is its least fertile portion, is in parts 
interspersed with swamps and marshes. The decliviUr 
toward Lake Erie is much more abrupt tliau ilie 8. 
slope of the State, and the country is here also iu 
parts marshy ; that portion of the surface which de- 
clines towards the Ohio and is the most extensive, is 
diversified with hills and valleys, and, on the whole, 
fully nine-tenths of the surface are susceptible of 
cultivation, nearly three-fourths being pre-emiuenily 
fertile. The Ohio R. which gives name to the State, 
washes half of its E. and its entire S. border. The 
Muskingum, the largest river which flows entirely iu 
this State, is formed by the junction of the Tusca- 
rawas and Walhonding Ks., and enters the Ohio at 
Marietta. It is navigable for boats 100 ni. The Sci- 
oto, the second R. in magnitude, flowing entirely

witliin the State, is abt. '200 in. long, and enters the 
Ohio at Portsmouth. Its largest branch is the Whet- 
stone, or Olentangy, which joins it immediately 
above Columbus. It is navigable for boats 130 m. 
The Great Miami, a rapid river In the W. part of the 
State, is 100 m. long, and enters the Ohio in the S. W. 
corner of the State. The Little Miami has a course 
of 70 m. and enters the Ohio 7 m. above Cincinnati. 
The Maumee, 100 m. long, rises in Indiana, runs 
through the N.W. part of the State, and enters Lake 
Erie at Maumee Bay. It is navigable for steamboats 
to Perrysburg, 18 m. from the lake, and above the 
rapids is beatable for a considerable distance. The 
Sandusky rises in the N. part of the State, and, after 
a course of abt. 80 m., enters Sandusky Bay, and 
thence into Lake Erie. The Cuyahoga rises in the 
N. part of the State, and after a curved course of 60 
m. enters Lake Erie at Cleveland. It has a number 
of falls, which furnish valuable mill-seats. Besides 
these, there are Huron, Vermilion, Black, Grand, 
and Ashtabula Rs., which enter Lake Erie. The geo- 
logical formations are nearly all secondary, compris- 
ing limestone, lias, saliferous and ferriferous rocks, 
sandstone, gray wacke, etc., in horizontal strata. The 
great bituminous coal-field of Pennsylvania and Vir- 
ginia projects into the E. and S.E. parts of the State, 
among the W. foot-hills proper of the Alleghany 
mountain system, its W. boundary extending from 
the N.E. corner of Trumbull co., through the cos. of 
Portage, Wayne, Knox, Licking, and Fairfield, to the 
mouth of the Scioto. The coal-fields cover, in the ag- 
gregate, an estimated superficies of 12,000 sq. m. ex- 
tending through 20 cos., and embrace nearly one- 
third of the area of the entire State. The quantity of 
stove coal mined during the year 1882 were 148,903,- 
635 bush, valued at $0,998,832. Salt springs are 
numerous within the carboniferous limits, and large 
quantities of this mineral are manufactured for 
market. The prod, for 1882 was 1,976,169 bushels 
valued at $201,143. Iron is found in abundance be- 
tween the Licking and Muskingum Rs., near Zanes- 
ville, and in theOhio K. near the S.W. comer of 
Adams co., and more particularly in the cos. of Law- 
rence, Gallia, Jackson, Meigs, Vinton, Athens, Hock- 
ing, Perry, and Licking. The ore obtained in some 
of these countries is of very superior qualitj^ being 
suited to the finer class of castings ; it covers an 
area of abt. 1,200 sq. m., and has created a very ex- 
tensive iron interest in the S. part of the State. The 
ores chiefly used in the extensive iron manufacture 
of the N. are chiefly obtained from the Lake Super- 
ior region. In 1882 588,644 tons of iron were mined 
in Oiiio, and 237,774 tons were received from other 
States. Petroleum also forms a somewhat important 
mineral product of the S.E. section of the State ; 
1,161,303 gallons were produced in 1882. Clay, in all 
its forms, is found in vast quantities, as also carbon- 
ate of lime. Hydraulic cement, in large deposits, is 
known to exist, though it has, as yet, not been made 
developable. Large quantities of building stone and 
grindstones are quarried in the N. part of the State, 
and contribute pretty largely to the industrial econo- 
my of the commonwealth. -^The climate of N. Ohio 
is of course colder in winter than <lie S. and central 
divisions, yet even here severe weather is not usual. 
Though the changes In temperature are great and 
rapid, the constantly varying winds prevent long- 
continued extremes. The extremes of temperature 
at ^Marietta during 23 years were 32° below zero and 
99° above. During a series of years the mean tempera- 
ture at Cleveland was 49.77°; at Marietta, 51.86°; at 
Cincinnati, 54.67°. The annual rainfall is 33.38 inches 
at Cincinnati, and 38.43 inches at Cleveland.— The 
soil of this State is, generally speaking, of the high- 
est fertility, free from rock or stone, and readily 
cultivated. There is but a small proportion of the 
surface unavailable for agricultural production of 



some sort, or absolutely unfitted for tillage. The. 
valleys of the rivers, and, particularly, of the two 
Miamis, the Scioto, the Maumee, and their feeders, 
contain the most fertile and valuable soils. Indeed, 
it might be difllicult to find anywhere lands equalling 
these in extent, surpassing them in the elements of 
fertility, or in agricultural capacity. The Scioto .uid 
Miami bottoms contain each an area of abt. 3.300,000 
acres, and together comprise more than one-fourth 
of the superficies of the whole State. The basin of 
the Muskingum, though less in extent, has much 
excellent laud, while the Maumee bottoms in the N. 
W., when once thoroughly drained, will be found 
equal to any in fecundity, being for the most part 
deep, black mould, with just sufficient sand inter- 
mixed to constitute soils of the very highest fertility. 
Of such a character is the " Black Swamp," in the 
N.W. of the State, tracts of which have of late years 
become sufficiently dry for cultivation, and, it is 
claimed, are the best corn and grass lands. The lake 
shores of Erie are of superior adaptation to the 
growth of fruits, on account of their exemption 
from pernicious frosts. The peach, so liable to fail 
in most of the N. States, finds here a congenial at- 
mosphere, while the culture of the grape is, perhaps, 
more successful than in any other part of the State ; 
in fact, some of the islands of the lake are celebrated 
for their vinous products. The following table, 
taken from the report of the Seeretai-y of State, shows

Ohio for the year 1881 : —

Ohio ranks fifth among the States in respect of 
manufacturing industry. It had in 1880, according 
to the census of that year, 20,699 manuf. estab- 
lishments, employing 183,609 hands ; capital in- 
vested, $188,939,614 ; wages paid during the year, 
$62,103,800 ; value of materials, $215,334,258 ; value

are the principal items. Timber, grain, flour, fibre, 
cattle, tobacco, cured meats, and spirits form the 
leading articles of exportation. The bulk of the 
great commercial and manufacturing interests cen- 
tres in Cincinnati. There are in the State 8 customs 
districts, Miami, Sandusky, and Cuyahoga, whose 
ports of entry are Toledo, "Sandusky, and Cleveland 
(which see for imports, exports, and maritime statis- 
tics). The four great trunk lines of raih-oad from the 
Atlantic cities to the Mississippi cross this State. In 
1842 the first mile of railroad was completed ; in 1882 
the statistics were : Miles of railroad, 6,663 ; total 
cost, $361,932,992; total stock and debt, $490,361,079; 
gross earnings, $46,759,399 ; net earnings, $14,695,745. 
Of navigable canals the State has 796 m., including 
feeders and side-cuts. These were constructed be- 
tween the years 1825 and 1844, at a total cost of $14,- 
688,667. The Ohio and Erie canal, connecting the 
river at Portsmouth with the lake at Cleveland, is 
309 m. in length and cost $4,695,204. The Miami and 
Erie, connecting Toledo with Cincinnati, extends 
for 250 m. and was constructed at a cost (with im- 
provements and repairs) of $7,4(33,694. The State al- 
so contains more than 6,000 m. of turnpikes and 
plank roads. — " Ohio has made and now maintains 
magnificeut provision for universal education. The 
State commissioner of schools reports the expendi- 
tures for the public schools of Ohio for 1881 to be 
$8,335,475. The high schools of townships, villages 
and cities carry forward a liberal education, while 
universities, colleges, and professional schools, sev- 
eral of which are practically free, supplement and 
crown the system. Ohio agricultural and mechani- 
cal college, at Columbus, possesses property valued 
at $1,000,000. It confers the degrees of bachelor 
of arts, bachelor of sciences, and civil engineer. Ohio 
has no State normal school ; but several institutions 
not receiving public funds are maintained for the 
training of teachers. Chief among them are the 
National normal school, in Lebanon, the Northwest- 
ern Ohio, the Ada, the Northwestern in Fostoria, 
the Ohio Central in Washington, the Western re- 
serve in Milan, the McNeelej' in Hopedale, the Or- 
well normal institute in Orwell, and the normal 
school in Cincinnati. The State penitentiary, erected 
in 1813, contained 1,356 prisoners in 1882. The deaf 
and dumb asylum, opened in 1869, was constructed 
at a cost of $625,000. Both the above institutions, to- 
gether with the asylums for the deaf and dumb, 
the blind and the idiotic, and the Central Ohio lu- 
natic asylum, are located at Columbus. Other asy- 
lums for the insane have been ojjened at Newburg, 
Dayton, Athens, Longview and Toledo, of which the 
first three are wholly and the last two partially sup- 
ported by the State. Upwards of 1,100 patients were 
sent to these hospitals for the insane during the year 
1882. An industrial school for girls has been estab- 
lished at White Sulphur Springs, and a reform school 
for boys was opened near Lancaster in 1857. The 
latter institution has a farm of 1,170 acres. — The State 
is divided into 88 cos., viz.: Adams, Allen, Ashland, 
Ashtabula, Athens, Auglaize, Belmont, Brown, But- 
ler, Carroll, Champaign, Clarke, Clermont, Clinton, 
Columbiana, Coshocton, Crawford,Cuyahoga, Darke,

Warren, Wooster, Xenia, Youugstown, and Zanes- 
ville. — The present constitution was adojjted in 1851. 
The legislative authority is vested in a general as- 
sembly, consisting of 36 senators and 105 representa- 
tives. Biennial sessions are held. Tlie governor 
(salary $4,000) and most of the executive ofiicers are 
elected for 2 years. The supreme court consists of 5 
judges, who receive $3,000 salary each. Courts of 
common pleas and also pr«bate courts are held in 
each of the 88 counties. All judges are elected by 
the people. The general elections are held annually 
on the 2d Tuesday of October. Ohio sends 21 repre- 
sentatives to congress, and has 23 electoral votes. 
The funded public debt of the State in 1882 was 
$5,201,665 ; the receipts into the treasury during 
the year were $5,768,975 ; disbursements, $o,630,219. 
The valuation of taxable prop, were $1,634,910,734( real 
$1,116,681,655; personal $518,229,079).— The countiy 
was first explored by the French, the discoveries of 
La Salle along the Ohio R. dating from abt. 1680. 
Long before that time the greater part of what now 
constitutes the State of Ohio was inhabited by tribes 
of Indians, superior in intelligence and civilization, 
and probably also in religious knowledge and in 
military skill, to the aborigines found here by the 
French, and later by English settlers. Their mounds 
and fortifications, whether intended for defence or 
for burial places, were constructed with an artistic 
skill, to which the Indians of the last two or three 
centuries can lay no claim. When the French sol- 
diers passed through the country, they found there 
tribes of Indians differing in no respect from those of 
New York or Pennsylvania, though perhaps they 
were not so warlike or revengeful as their neighbors 
in the adjacent States. There do not seem to have 
been any white settlers within the limits of the State 
previous to April, 1788, when a colony from New 
England founded Marietta. Ohio was admitted into 
the'Union as the 17th State on Feb. 19th, 1803. Pop.

Oregon, a N.W. State, bounded N. by Wash., 
E. by Idaho, S. by Nev. and Cal. and W. by the 
Pacific Ocean. It is situated between lat. 42° and 46° 
20' N. and Ion. 116° 40' and 124° 35' W. The length 
from E. to W. is 360 m. the breadth from N. to S. 
275 m.; area, 94,560 sq. m. The Cascade Mts. stretch 
across the State N. and S., at a distance of abt. 110 
m. from the Pacific. Numerous barren snow-capped 
peaks, of volcanic origin, rise from them to great 
heights, of which the most elevated are Mount Hood 
(11,025 ft.), Mts. Jefferson, Thielsen, Scott, Pitt, and 
the Three Sisters. The Cascade Range divides Oreg., 
into two distinct sections, known as E. and W. Oreg., 
Of these the former contains by far the most ter- 
ritory, but the latter is far more advanced in civili- 
zation, and contains abt. nine-tenths of the present 
pop. of the State. Another chain of mountains, the 
Coast Range, extends, alsoN. and S., over W. Oreg., 
at a distance varying from 40 to 70 m. from the Cas- 
cade Mts., and proportionately nearer to the Pacific 
coast. Its highest points are not more than 5,000 ft., 
and its average height abt. 2,500 ft. above sea level. E. 
Oreg., is subdivided, so to speak, into Middle Oreg. 
and E. Oreg. proper, by the Blue Mts. , a range with a 
general N. and S. direction, at a distance of abt. 150 
m. E. of the Cascade Mts. The Cascade Mts. and 
the Coast Range divide the surface of W. Oreg. into 
uumerous valleys of varying extent, traversed by 
more or less important water-courses. Its largest 
rivers are the Columbia, which separates it on the 
N. from Wash.; the Willamette, the largest tributary 
of the Columbia ; Young and Lewis and Clark Rs., 
also flow into the Columbia ; the Rogue, Coquille, 
Umpqua, Siuslaw, Alseya, Siletz, and Nehalem, 
emptjring into the Pacific ; and the Tualatin, Clack- 
amas, Yamhill, Mollala, Santiam, Luckimute, Mary, 
and Long Tom Rs., all tributaries of the Willamette, 
which itself is formed by three separate streams 
known as McKenzie's, Middle and Coast Forks. The 
principal watercourses of Middle Oreg. are the Des 
Chutes, John Day's, and Umatilla Rs., and their 
tributaries, the waters of which unite with the Co- 
lumbia. The principal river of E. Oreg. proper is the 
Snake R., which separates Oregon from Idaho, and 
its main tributaries, the Grande Ronde, Powder, 
Burnt, Malheur, and Owyhee Rs. There are numer- 
ous lakes in S.E. Oreg., the principal of which are 
Klamath, Goose, and Warner's iakes, and Lake 
Harney. Oreg. is not surpassed by any other part of 
the U. States in attractiveness and variety of scenery. 



Among its distinctive features are the numerous val- 
leys formed, as already stated, by the several 
mountain chains, and the minor ranges issuing from 
them. The principal ones in W. Oreg. are the Willa- 
mette, Umpqua, and Rogue R. valleys. The Willa- 
mette valley is by far the largest and most attractive 
in every respect. It has been apparently named 
" the garden of the Northwest." It is abt. 150 m. 
in length, from 30 to 60 m. in width, and contains 
abt. five millions of acres, nearly the whole of which 
is of unusual productiveness, while only abt. one- 
tenth is now under cultivation. Within it are the 
most important towns of the State. The Umpqua 
valley lies to the S. of the Callaporia Mts., and con- 
tains abt. 25,000 acres. The valley of the Rogue R., 
containing abt. 2,400,000 acres, is bounded on the S. 
by the Siskiyou Mt., which separates it from Cal. 
"These several valleys do not consist of wide plains, 
but partake more of a gentle undulating character. 
Hill and dale follow in succession, except in the 
central part of the Willamette Valley, where there 
is a perfectly level prairie of extraordinary fertility, 
abt. 40 m. long and 30 m. wide. There are no great 
agricultural valleys, like those of the W. part of the 
State, in Middle Oreg. The country S. of the Colum- 
bia, and between the Cascade and Blue Mts., for a 
distance of 200 m. consists of a high rolling plain. 
In E. Oreg. proper the valleys of the Grande Ronde 
Powder, and Burnt Rs., resemble those of W. Oreg. 
The Grande Ronde Valley is said to contain abt. 
275,000 acres of tillable land.— The climate of W. 
Oreg. is peculiarly mild and equable. The tempera- 
ture is moderated in the hot as well as in the cold 
seasons by the trade-winds of the Pacific, which 
blow from the N.W. in summer, and from the S.W. 
in winter. To the proximity of the Pacific Gulf 
Stream to the Oreg. coast, much of the uniform 
mildness and evenness of the temperature is also due. 
As ascertained by observations made at the U. States 
signal-service office in the State, the average tem- 
perature in W. Oreg. is in spring 52°, in summer 67°, 
in autumn 53°, and in winter 39°. The thermometer 
seldom rises above 90° in the hottest days of summer 
and rarely falls below 20° in the winter. The differ- 
ences of temperature marking the seasons in other 
parts of the world being unknown ; it may be said, 
indeed, that there are but two seasons in Oreg., 
namely, a wet and a dry one. The wet or rainy sea- 
son usually begins abt. the middle of Nov. and 
lasts until early in May, with many intermissions of 
fine weather for days, and even for weeks. The cli- 
mate of Middle and E. Oreg. differs in this from 
the W. part of the State, that there is much less 
rainfall in the winter, and consequently more cold- 
ness in the latter, and more dryness in the summer. 
The mountains and a large part of the valleys of W. 
Oreg. are covered with mighty forests, affording an 
inexhaustible supply of hard and soft timber. — The 
chief agricultural products for the year 1830 were as

at the proper seasons ; Other varieties of fish are the 
cod, halibut, sturgeon, herring, smelt, etc. Lobsters, 
oysters, clams, and other shell fish are also common 
The salmon alone is caught to any considerable ex- 
tent. According to the censes of 1880 there were on 
the Columbia R., 29 canneries, having a capital of 
$1,100,000; product,539,587 cases,and 25,900,176 lbs., in 
one-pound tins, value at $2,697,930 ; hands employed 
6,500. — The mineral wealth of Oreg. is very great, but 
as yet very imperfectly developed, mainly owing to 
the want of capital. Gold was first discovered in 1851, 
in the cos. of Jackson and Josephine, and gold- 
mines have since opened in several other parts of the 
State, but their distance from railroads, and the want 
of machinery for working them, has, until now, 
prevented their development on a scale commen- 
surate with their richness. The gold product for the 
year 1881 was $1,100,000. Large deposits of rich iron 
ore and coal exist in nearly every part of the State. 
— In 1880 there was in Oreg. 1080 manuf. estab- 
lishments, employing 3,473 hands ; capital invested 
$6,312,056 ; wages paid during the year $1,667,046 ; 
value of products, $70,931,232. Oreg. is divided into 
3 customs districts, South Oreg. (port of entry Coos- 
bury), Oreg. (port of entry Astoria), and Willamette 
(port of entry, Portland). The value of all exports 
in 1881 was $5,324,503 of imports $859,534. The entire 
shipments from the Columbia R., for the year 
amounted in value to fully $14,000,000. Adding to for- 
eign exports shipments to San Francisco, consisting 
of wheat, flour, wool, salmon, and other products, 
the value of which at a moderate estimate would be 
$6,000,000, we have the total above indicated. Salmon 
alone shipped to San Francisco reached a total of 
222,000 cases, valued at $1,100,000. Wheat shipments 
to that city were about 400,000 centals, valued at 
$600,000 ; and flour shipments, 330,000 sacks, valued 
at about $400,000. Of wool,26,762 bales were shipped, 
having a value of about $1,400,000. Oats, flaxseed, 
potatoes, hides, hops, etc., would make up another 
half million of value. Of the vessels belonging in the 
State 43 tonnage 8,386 were sailing vessels ; 106 ton- 
nage 39,380 steamers ; and 7 tonnage 4,801 barges. 
Twenty vessels, tonnage 2,135, were built in the 
State during the year. Oreg. had in 1882, 689 m. of 
railroad in operation. — The school statistics for 1880 
were as follows : Public schools, 790 ; teachers, 999 ; 
value of school property, $520,963 ; receipts for school 
purposes, $351,673 ; numberof children of school age 
(4 to 20 years), 56,464 ; enrolled in public schools, 
32,818. The institutions for higher education are : 
Christian college, at Monmouth, which has classic, 
scientific and preparatory departments ; Corvallis 
college, connected with which is the State agricul- 
tural school, having a property valued at $239,000 ; 
McMinnville college ; Pacific university, having 
classical, scientific and normal departments ; Willa- 
mette university, which embraces a school of medi- 
cine and a school of science ; and the university of 
Oregon, at Eugene City. The penitentary established 
in 1854, 178 prisoners in 1882. An hospital for the 
insane, and institutions for the blind and the deaf 
and dumb are in successful operation. — The State is 
divided into 23 cos., viz.: Baker, Benton, Clackamas, 
Clatsep, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Grant, 
Jackson, Josephine, Lake, Lane, Linn, Marion, Mult- 
nomah, Polk, Tilamook, Umatilla Union, Wasco, 
Washington, Yam Hill. The principal towns and 
cities are Salem (the cap.). Baker City, Corvallid, 
Oregon City, Astoria, Eugeue, Albany, Portland, 
East Portland and Dalles. — The constitution adopted 
in 1857, provides that any male citizen of the U^. 
States, 21 years old, and six months a resident of 
the State, may be a voter. The goverment is exercised 
by a governor (salary $1,500), a secretary of State 
($1,500), and treasurer of State ($800), who are chosen 
lor 4 years. The legislature is composed of a senate 



of 30 members elected for 4 years and a house of 
representatives elected for two years. Re<nilar sesfiion 
of the legislative are held biennialh^ S iudfcM 
power IS vested in a supreme court, circuit courts 
county courts, and justices of the peace. Ores: sends 
1 representative to congress, and has 3 electoral 
IZ%^7^' T^' 'i^bt %the State in 1882 ^^s 
$304,019,78. The equalized value of real and per- 
f?''''^ Ji"2P^':ty was $59,256,175, and the total taxa- 
tion $325,917.— On May 7th, 1792, Capt. R. Grav 
of Boston entered the Columbia R. In 1805 Lewis 
and Clarke visited this region. In 1810 John Jacob 
Astor organized the Pacific fur company. A party 
sent out by his company reached the Columbia 
on the 24th of March, 1811, and founded Astoria. 
The Hudson's Bay company claimed jurisdiction 
over the whole country. In 1846 the 49th parallel 
of lat. was made the boundary between British 
America and the U. States. Immigrants began to 
to enter Oreg. by the overland route as early as 1833. 
From 3 to 5 months were consumed in the journey 
from the Missouri R. The passage around Cape Horn 
required six months. Oreg. was organized as a terri- 
tory Aug. 14, 1848, and was admitted in to the Union 
on Feb. 4th, 1859. Pop. in 1850, 13,294 ; in 1860, 52,-

OsAvego, N.T., a river which furnishes the 
final outlet of the small lakes in the interior of the 
State into Lake Ontario, into which it flows at the 
city of Oswego, on the S. shore. The Oswego R. 
flows directly from the outlet of the Oneida Lake, 
and receives the waters of the other small lakes by 
the Seneca R. into which their several outlets are 



discharged, and which unites with it about ^ m. 
from its mouth. Its course is about N.W. The lakes 
with which it is connected are, besides the Oneida. 
Fish, Cross, Otsego, Onondaga, Owasco, Skeueate- 
les, Canandaigua, Crooked, Cayuga, and Seneca 
Lakes. This river, for the greater part of its course, 
serves the purpose of the Oswego Canal, connecting 
the Erie Canal at Syracuse with Lake Ontario, the 
falls of about 100 ft., 12 m. from its mouth, being 
overcome by lockage. From the foot of these falls, 
the canal is carried along upon the E. bank of the 
river to its mouth, where it descends by locks to the 
level of the lake. An immense water-power is fur- 
nished at Oswego by this canal. 
— a CO., bounded N.W. by Lake Ontario, intersected 
by Oswego R., and drained by a number of streams 
falling into the lake ; area, 1,038 sq. m. It has a level 
or undulating surface, and the soil, though generally 
fertile, varies greatly in different jjarts. The chief 
prod, in 1880 were 37,109 bush, of barley, 86,313 of 
buckwheat, 615,105 of corn, 702,706 of oats, 35,771 of 
rye, and 88,691 of wheat ; butter, cheese, potatoes,

company of the U. S. army. The new harbor, situ- 
ated at the mouth of the Oswego R., is protected 
from the action of the lake water by extensive piers, 
and has a depth of 20 ft. and is one of the safest aud 
most commodious harbors upon the chain of great 
lakes. Oswego has a mineral spring, whose water is 
sold under the name of the Deep Rock Spring water.

Pawnees, a warlike tribe of Indians, formerly 
residing chiefly in Central Nebraska. Physically, they 
are superior to most of the Indians of the Plains. 
They are divided into four bands, Tsawe,Tsitkakish, 
Skeres, and Tapahowerats. They have always been 
friendly to the U. States, and numbered at one time 
2 000 warriors, but have been much reduced by con- 
stant wars with the Sioux. In 1875 they removed to 
the Ind. Ter. Where they are under the charge of the 
Friends.

Pennsylvania, one of the Middle States of 



the Atlantic slope, and the second in wealth, manu- 
factures and pop. It is bounded N. by Lake Erie 
and New York, E. by Chautauqua co'., N.Y., and 
by Delaware R., which separates it from Delaware 
CO., N.Y^., and from the State of New Jersey, S. 
by Delaware, Maryland and West Virginia, and 
W. by West Virginia and Ohio. It lies between 
lat. 39' 43' and 42° 15' N.. and Ion. 74° 42' and 
80° 36' W. Its greatest length from E. to W. is 
302.34 m., and its greatest breadth from M. to S. 
175.6 m. Its mean length is 280.39 m., mean breadth 
158.05 m.; area, 44,985 sq. m. The surface of Pa. is 
greatl}' diversified. There are few large tracts of 
level land in the State. The S.E. cos., though they 
can scarcely be denominated hilly, have an undulat- 
ing and variable surface. South Mt. extends from 
the Delaware below Easton in a S.W. direction 
through the State, to the borders of Maryland in 
Adams co. Next to this, Kittatiny, or Blue Mt., ex- 
tends from the Delaware Water Gap, and proceeds 
S.W. with a regular elevation of from 700 to 1,200 ft. 
above the level of the streams at its base, and termi- 
nates at Parnell's knob, an elevated and picturesque 
summit in Franklin co., near the S. border of the 
State. N. of the Blue Mt., and between the Lehigh 
and Susquehanna, is a wild, mountainous region, 
where the anthracite coal is found. The valley of 
Wyoming is enclosed by a chain of lofty mountains, 
known by many local names. Between Kittatinj-, or 
Blue Mt., and the Alleghany, is what has been called 
the Appalachian chain, which consists of high and 
nearly parallel ridges, sometimes approaching near to 
each other, and at other times with valleys between 
them of 30 m. in breadth, frequently divided by 
smaller ridges. The Delaware R. washes the E. 
border of the State, and is navigable for the 
largest ships to Philadelphia. The Lehigh, after a 
course of 75 m., enters it at Easton. The Schuylkill 
is abt. 130 m. long, and unites with the Delaware, 6 
m. below Philadelphia. The Susquehanna R. rises in 
the State of New York, and flows S. through this 
State, and enters Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. It is 
much obstructed by rapids and falls, but furnishes 
a decending navigation for boats and rafts, in time 
of high water. The Juniata rises among the Alle- 
ghany Mts., and, after a course of 180 m., enters the 
Susquehanna, 11 m. above Harrisburg. The Alle- 
ghany R. ,400 m. long,fromtheN.W.,andthe Monon- 
gahela, 300 m. long, from the S. unite at Pitts- 
burg to form Ohio R", which latter flows a short dis- 
tance in this State. Large tracts of mountain land 
are covered with a dense growth of timber. Around 
the headwaters of the W. branch of the Susquehanna 
are primeval forests from which immense quantities 
of lumber are cut every j-ear. The white pine forest of 
the Alleghany Mts. has been a source of great wealth 
to the middle N. cos. Williamsport is the emporium 
of this trade. — The climate of Pa., though healthy 
and temperate, is variable and inconstant. The ex- 
tremes of temperature are from 20° below zero to 98° 
above; but such extremes are of short continuance. 
The mean temperature is from 44 to 52 degrees. 
The soil of the State is generally good, and much 
of it is of a superior quality; the richest tract is on the 
S.E., on both sides of Susquehanna R. This part 
of the State has been long settled, and is under ex- 
cellent cultivation. InthecouutryW. of the Alleghany 
Mts. there is much fertile land. For some distance 
from the mountains, the country is hilly and rough. 
Although the State, as a whole, is better adapted 
to grain than to grazing, yet in many parts there 
are large dairies, and tine horses and cattle are 
raised. The most important dairy cos. are Berks, 
Bradford, Bucks, Chester, Crawford, Erie, Lancaster, 
Montgomery, Susquehanna, and Y'^ork, in all of 
which the number of milch cows ranks from 20,- 
000 to 35,000, and the amount of butter produced

The mineral wealth of Pa. is very great, con- 
sisting chiefly of coal, iron, and petroleum. Bitu- 
minous coal of an excellent quality and in exhausti- 
ble in quantity, is almost everywhere found W. 
of the Alleghany Mts., and in all the S. part of 
the State, to the E. of them. In Pittsburg and 
the vicinity, it is extensively used for manuf. pur- 
poses. The anthracite coal region, with some few ex- 
ceptions, is bounded on the N.W. by the N. branch 
of Susquehanna R., extending in a N.E. direction 
for over 60 m., and divided into the southern, mid- 
dle, and northern coal-fields. The S. coal-field is div- 
ided into four mining districts : the Lehigh, Schuyl- 
kill, Swatara, and Susquehanna. The middle coal- 
field includes the Beaver, Meadow, Hazelton, Ma- 
hanoy, and Shamokin districts. Towards the E. part 
both the S. and middle coal-fields afford a hard, 
shining, and very compact coal, difficult of ignition, 
but affording an intense heat, while further W., the 
coal is less dense and more easy of ignition, and 
yielding both white and red ashes. The N. coal-field 
is, like the others, abt. 65 m. long, and 5 or 6 broad, 
and from 1 to 30 ft. in thickness, and includes the 
Wyoming and Lackawanna coal, which is lighter 
than most of the other kinds of anthracite coal, and 
more easy of ignition, and yields a good heat, though 
less intense than the Lehigh, and some others. The 
three great deposits of anthracite coal have been 
calculated to contain 975 sq. m., or 624,000 acres, in 
some places 50 or 60 ft. deep, and as each cubic yard 
in the ground is calculated to yield a ton of coal, it 
is easy to conceive that the quantity must be im- 
mensely great. In the prodnction of iron and steel in 
blast-furnaces, rolling-mills, steel works, forges and 
bloomeries. Pa. takes the first rank. The capital in- 
vested in these industries in the U. States in 1880 
amounted to $230,971,884, of which Pa. furnished 46 
per cent. The total product was 7,265,140 tons, of 
which Pa. produced 3,616,668, or nearly 50 per cent. 
The following cos. are the principal centres of pro- 
duction of iron and steel : Alleghany, 848,146 tons; 
Lehigh, 324,875 ; Northampton, 322,882 ; Cambria, 
269,140; Dauphin, 223,676; Berks, 213,580; Mercer, 
182,881, Montgomery, 168,628, Lackawanna, 151,273. 
Of 3,781,021 tons of pig iron and direct eastings pro- 
duced in 1880, in 22 States, Pa. made 1,930.314 tons, 
or 51 per cent. Of 2,353,248 tons of rolled iron of all 
kinds produced in 29 States and Territories in 1880

tons, of which Pa. produced more than any other 
State, viz., 2,173,415 tons, or 27.09 per cent The 
principal ore-producing cos. are, Lehigli, 331 322 
tons, Lebanon, 285,629, Berks, 252,940, Blair, l.W - 
914, Northampton, 104,788. The State produced in 
1880, 28,640,819 tons of anthracite, being the entire 
product of the country except 6,176 tons. It also pro- 
duces more bituminous coal than any other State 
viz., 18,425,163 tons in 1880, out of a total of 42,420,- 
581 tons for the U. States. The principal oil fields 
until the past 5 years were comprised in the W. cos. 
N, of the Ohio and bordering on the Alleghany R. 
Recently the richest and most regular flowing wells 
are situated in the so-called Bradford region in Mc- 
Kean co., contiguous to the New York State line. 
Fields which were productive 15 years ago have be- 
come exhausted, but it was the waste of the ma- 
terial which brought ruin to those districts. The new 
machinery which regulates as it preserves the pro- 
duce of oil, has caused a more steady supi)ly and 
yield. At the present time nearly .fl,000,000,0(XJ is in- 
vested in the petroleum trade, and the average yield 
is abt. 70,000 barrels per week. In the days of the 
great oil excitement there were times when this 
was the daily produce. (See page 40). — Apart from 
the production of iron, in every co. of the State 
are industrial establishments of various kinds. Ac- 
cording to the Federal census of 1880 there was in Pa. 
31,232 manuf. establishments, employing 387,009 
hands, capital invested $471,510,993, wages paid dur- 
ing the year $134,055,904, value of materials, $465,- 
020,563, value of products .^744,818,44.5. Numerous as 
are the manuf. of iron, glass, cotton, woolen and 
other goods, the resources of the county are so im- 
mense that no better locality in the Union is offered 
for investments. — Pa. is favorably situated for com- 
merce, being connected with the three great systems 
of water communication of the Atlantic Ocean, the 
Missis.sippi and the lakes, through the ports of Phila- 
delphia, Pittsburg, and Erie (whicli see). In 18B2, 
according to Poor's Manual, the whole number of 
railroad corporations whose lines are wholly or partly 
in the State was 166 ; length of miles operated in Pa. 
6,690. Prominent among them is the Pennsylvania, 
probably the most powerful railroad in the world ; 
nearly 2,500 m. of railroad in Pa. are operated by it, 
and its investments in this State are estimated at not 
less than $150,000,000 ; besides which it owns or 
leases a large extent of road outside of the State.— 
The canal system of Pa. comprises 12 distinct lines, 
with a total length of 920 m., of wliieli 507 are with- 
in the limits of the State. The Schuylkill Canal is 108 
m. long; the Pennsvlvania Canal (360m.), has 169 
locks, '536 bridges, and 68 aqueducts : of the Dela- 
ware & Hudson Canal (108 m. long), but 25 m. are 
in Pa., and the Erie & Pittsburgh Canal intersects 
the N.W. tier of cos.— By the new constitution the 
leo-islature is required to provide for the niaintenaiice 
and support of an efficient system of public schools, 
and to appropriate at least one million dollars every 
year for that purpose. The following educational 
statistics are taken from the report of the superi"- 
tendent of public instruction for the year lii»Z : 
Number of schools 19,183, of graded schools <,812,of 
normal schools 12, number of teachers 21.819 (males

vate and select schools, but the high standiug of the 
public schools in the larger towns and cities, and the 
number of excellent normal schools, are lessening the 
number of academies and seminaries. The number 
of colleges in the State is 28, the more prominent of 
■which are the university of Pennsylvania, at Phila- 
delphia; Lafayette college, at Easton; Lehigh uni- 
versity, at Bethlehem; Dickinson college, at Carlisle; 
Pennsylvania college, at Gettysburg; Jefferson col- 
lege, at Cannonsburg; Alleghany college, at Mead- 
vi'lle; with others of not less importance and promi- 
nence. Of theological seminaries under the control 
of the various religious denominations, the State is 
prolific, while in medicine and forensic lore the city 
of Philadelphia has been the seat for over a century. 
The medical department of the university of Penn- 
sylvania, and Jefferson medical college, are the most 
influential and reputable institutions of the kind in 
the U. States.— There are in Pa. 2 penitentiaries, of 
which the Eastern, at Philadelphia, is conducted on 
" the separate system," and the Western, at Pitts- 
burg, upon " the combined " system. Abt. 1,000 
prisoners are confined in the two institutions. The 
house of refuge at Philadelphia will accommodate 
820 inmates, and the reform school at Pittsburg pro- 
vides for 228 pupils. Abt. 50 almshouses have been 
established, with real estate valued at abt. .S6,000,- 
000, in which abt. 13,500 paupers can be cared for. 
There are 4 State hospitals for the insane, located at 
Harrisburg, Dixmont, Danville and Warren. A de- 
partment for the insane is connected with the Phila- 
delphia almshouse, and the Pennsylvania hospital for 
the insane (Kirkbride's) and the Friends' asylum are 
in the same city. The Pa. institution for the deaf 
and dumb and for the blind are schools rather than 
asylums.— The State is divided into 67 cos. Harrisburg 
is the cap. ; Philadelphia and Pittsburg are the largest 
cities. The other cities are Alleghany, Allentown, 
Carbondale, Chester, Columbia, Corry, Erie, Frank- 
lin, Lancaster, Lock Haven, Meadville, Pottsville, 
Reading, Scranton, Titusville, Wilkesbarre, and Wil- 
liamsport. — Under the amended constitution of Dec. 
16th, 1873, the legislature consists of 50 senators, 
chosen for 4 years, and 200 representatives, chosen 
for 2 years. Biennial sessions are held, beginning on 
the first Tuesday of Jan. The governor holds oflBce 
for 4 years, and is not eligible for re-election at the 
term next succeeding that for which he was first 
chosen. The supreme court consists of 7 judges, elect- 
ed by the people for a term of 21 3-ears and not eli- 
gible to re-election. Each co. containing 40,000 in- 
habitants constitutes a separate judicial district. 
A separate orphans' court is established in every city 
and CO. having a pop. of 1.50,000. The State election 
is held on the Tuesday after the first Monday of 
November. Pa. sends 28 representatives to congress, 
and has, therefore, 30 electoral votes. The public 
debt in 1882 was $20,225,083.28. The receipts at the 
Stat tereasury for the year ending Nov. 30th, 1882, 
were $16,428,650.11; expenditures, $14,850,871.18; val- 
uation of personal property (real estate is not taxed 
for State property) .$97,92"l,651.— William Penn re- 
ceived from the English crown a grant of " all that 
tract of land bounded E. by the river Delaware, ex- 
tending W. five degrees, and N. and S. between the 
40th and 42d parallels, except an area around New 
Castle (Delaware) circumscribed by a radius of 
twelve miles." In October, 1682, Penn, accompanied 
by 2,000 settlers, arrived at New Castle, and in 1683 
Philadelphia was chosen as the site for the new col- 
ony. Very amicable relations were established with 
the Indians, and Penn's peoi)le were exempt from 
the horrors of savage warfare which v.'ere inflicted 
upon almost every other colony. The part which 
Pennsylvania took in the American Revolution is 
mentioned in this work under Philadelphia. Pop.

of Western New York, and has a brisk and growing 
trade; its manufacturing interests are also of consid- 
erable importance. Two steamers ply daily during 
the season of navigation to Hammondsport at the 
head of Keuka lake. The principal depot and store-

Penobscot, J/e., a large and important river, 
which, with its numerous branches waters a great 
portion of the State. It is formed by the junction in 
Penobscot co., of two chief branches. The western 
and larger rises near the Canada border. The eastern 
branch, also called Seboois R., proceeds from sev- 
eral small lakes in the N. part of Penobscot co. 
The main stream pursues a course a little W. 
of S., receiving among its most important affluents 
the Piscataquis on the W. and the Mattawamkeag 
and Passadumkeag on the E. and falls into Penobs- 
cot bay. Its total length, from the source of the W. 
branch is about 275 m. and from the junction abt. 
135 m. To Bangor, 55 m. from its mouth, it is navi- 
gable for large vessels. Above this point small 
steamers run for many miles. Along its course it has 
numerous falls, affording considerable water-power 
which is only in small parts utilized. It is the most 
importont salmon-stream in the U.S., its product 
excelling in value and quality of fish, though not in 
quantity, that of the Columbia R. — Penobscot Bat 
extends from Owl's Head on the W. to Coast Island 
on the E., a distance of 30 m. At its mouth are Fox 
Islands, Deer Isle, Isle of Haut, and several smaller 
ones. It extends inland to Belfast Bay at the mouth of 
Penobscot R., a distance of 20 m. N. from Owl's 
Head. This bay contains many good harbors. 
— a central co., intersected by Penobscot R. ; area,2,900 
sq. m. It has a diversified surface and a generally 
fertile soil. Formerly it comprised a very large terri- 
tory, which has been gradually cut up to form other 
COS., and its outlines are very eccentric, it being 
composed of three parallelograms irregularlv dispos- 
ed. The chief prod, in 1880 were 320,174 bush, of 
oats, 107,351 of wheat, 71,137 of corn, 29,367 of bar-

and covered with pines. It has an excellent harbor, 
with 21 ft. of water on the bar, and was a place of 
considerable importance during the Spanish and En- 
glish government of Florida. It has a navy-yard and 
forts, and was the scene of important military and 
naval operations during the civil war. Pensacola has 
2 semi-wkly papers, several schools, a custom-house, 
and a considerable trade in lumber. The climate is 
usually healthy, but subject to occasional visitations 
of yellow fever. Pensacola was settled bj' the French

half this distance from the sea it separates itself into 
two divisions, Escambia Bay on the W. and on the E. 
the bay of Santa Maria de Galvez with its subsidiaries, 
East and Black Water Bays. The former receives the 
waters of the Escambia R., the latter, those of the 
Black Water and Yellow Water. The entrance of the 
bay, between Santa Rosa Island on the E. and the 
mainland on the W. is little more than 1 m. wide, but 
within it expands into a capacious harbor, from 4 to 
8 m. in width, and entirely land-locked. There is a

Philadelphia, Pa., a port of entry, the prin- 
cipal city of the State, and the second in pop. in the 
U. States, is situated between the Delaware and 
Schuylkill Rs., abt. 6 m. above their junction, and 
96 m. from the Atlantic by following the course of 
Delaware R. and bav ; 138 m. N.E. of Washington, 
and 90 m. S.W. of New York city, by rail ; lat. 39° 57' 
N., and Ion. 75° 10' W. The surface of the city is 
generally level, the ground, however, making a grad- 
ual ascent towards the N. The co. of Philadelphia 
being inclosed within the municipal limits of the 
city, gives the latter a greater superficies of jurisdic- 
tion than is found to belong to any other city of 
the Union. West Philadelphia, Germantown, Mana- 
yunk, and Frankford form its most important sub- 
urbs ; they are thickly populated, and adorned with 
handsome private residences. The city was originally 
built in the form of a parallelogram, with main 
streets running E. to W., or from river to river, with 
others intersecting them at right angles. Market St. 
and Broad St., the former running E. and W., and 
the latter (on the highest ground between the rivers) 
N. and S. divided the city, as first founded, into 4 
nearly equal divisions, of which the most populous 
lies E. of Broad St. The plan of the city as originally 
laid out, has been followed in the construction of 



PHI

PHI 



the new portions N., S., and W., but with consider- 
able and improved variations. The principal streets 
average from 50 to 80 ft. in width, excepting how- 
ever, Market St., which has a breadth of 100 ft., and 
Broad St., one of the most spacious avenues in the 
U. States, with a space of 120 ft. across. The city is 
well provided with large and handsomely arranged 
public parks and squares, of which the principal are 
Fairmont and Hunting Parks, the latter containing 
45 acres, and Franklin, Penn., Rittenhouse, Wash- 
ington, Logan, and Independence Squares ; the lat- 
ter in the rear of the State house. These squares 
vary in their several extents from 5 to 7 acres, and 
are well laid out with a profusion of noble trees, 
and several handsome fountains. Fairmount Park in 
the N.W. outskirts of the city, in point of natural 
beauty of location and extent, is excelled by none in 
either hemisphere. It is picturesquely situated on 
both sides of the Schuylkill K., extending upward 
along that river abt. 5 m. and thence abt. 6 m. more up 
the Wissahickon, — a spot of peculiar scenic beauty, 
— and containing altogether a tract of 2,740 acres. 
P. possesses many fine, and some imposing public 
buildings. Foremost among these is Girard college, 
located abt. 2 m. N.W. of the State house. The cus- 
tom house and sub-treasury is a specimen of Doric 
architecture. The new city hall (Penn. square), of 
marble, to cost over $10,000,000, is said to exceed in 
size the U. States capitol. The new post-office, of 
granite, will be the peer of any post-office edifice in 
the world. The U. States mint, has a frontage of 
122 ft., with a central portico 62 ft. long, and an 
inner court ; forming, altogether, a fine and commo- 
dious building, which was begun in 1829 and com- 
pleted in the foUowina; year, at a cost of $200,000. 
The merchant's exchange, built on the triangle 
forming the intersection of Walnut, Third, and Dock 
Sts., erected at a cost of abt. $300,000, presents an 
external appearance commensurate with the com- 
mercial wealth and importance of the city. The 
chamber of commerce, lately rebuilt on 2d St., is a 
fine building. The State house, — "the cradle of 
American liberty" — a plain brick edifice of antique 
aspect, is situated on the Chesnut St. front of Inde- 
pendence square, and consists of a central building 
surmounted by a spire furnished with a clock and 
bell, and two wings, in which are ensconced the city 
and county officers. On the first floor of the main 
building is Independence Hall, — a large apartment 
■decorated with quaint carvings, and with its wain- 
seotted walls serving as a picture gallery of great 
American worthies, — derives its distinctive appella- 
tion from having been the place of assembly of the 
congress which, in 1776, issued the memorable 
declaration of American independence. Among other 
notable buildings are the young men's christian as- 
sociation hall, Presbyterian board of publication, 
liorticultural hall (Broad St.), the university build- 
ing, the academy of fine arts, academy of natural 
sciences, zoological society buildings, Ridgway 
library, masonic hall, erected at a cost of $1,300,000 
Wagner institute, memorial hall, occupied by the 
Pennsylvania museum and school of industrial art, 
horticultural building, besides many other buildings 
of lesser note. P. is liberally supplied with theatres 
and places of public amusement. Of these the P. 
academy of music is one of the first edifices of the 
kind in thelJ. States. Many of the private and public 
edifices are very elegant, such as the union league 
club house, those of the mutual life insurance com- 
pany, the Public Ledger, The Times, the farmer's and 
mechanics' bank, Philadelphia, first national, guar- 
antee, fidelity, Girard building, and other banking 
institutions. The ecclesiastical architecture of P. ))re- 
sents many fine examples of divers styles, such as the 
Roman Catholic cathedral, the Jewish synagogue, 
St. Mark's (Epis.), &c. At the corner of Broad and 



Spruce St. stood the superb Beth-Eden Baptist 
church, which was burned in 1881 . The city is replete 
with religious edifices : there being altogether abt. 
550 places of worship. The euviroirs of the city com- 
prise many handsome cemeteries, such as Laurel 
Hill, Woodland, Mount Vernon, Mount Moriah 
Glenwood, &c. Of the buildings connected with the 
social wants of the community are the gas and 
water-works, prisons, alms-houses, houses of refuge, 
house of correction, &c. The institutions devoted to 
benevolent purposes include the Peimsylvania, Epis- 
copal, German, St. Joseph's, City, Philadelphia, Uni- 
versity, Jefferson, Jewish, Presbyterian, German- 
town, Orthopsedie, woman's hospitals, and Will's 
hospital forthe treatment of the eye, Preston retreat, 
or lying-in hospital, houses of industry, several dis- 
pensaries, asylums forthe insane and feeble-minded,

house of employment, newsboys' home, humane so- 
ciety, eye and ear infirmary, Magdalen asylum, house 
of the Good Shepherd, and numerous others, in all 
256 various charitable and philanthro])ie institutions. 
The public establishments applying to the intellec- 
tual and artistic requirements of tlie Pliila(l('li)liian8 
are on a corresponding scale of magnitude and effic- 
iency. The university of Pennsylvania, possessing 
the oldest medical college in the U. States, founded 
in 1765, has long been celebrated for the superior ad- 
vantages it offers to students from all quarters of the 
Union. The Jefferson medical college, a younger but 
equally flourishing school, the female medical col- 
lege, Wistar and Horner anatomical museum, Wood's 
pathological museum, &c. The Philadelphia college 
of pharmacy, and two dental colleges, with the ec- 
lectic and homoeopathic medical colleges, are all 
flourishing institutions. The scholastic provision in- 
stituted for the commoner demands of education, 
finds active employment for 2 high schools, 62 gram- 
mar, 27 consolidated, 132 secondary, and 225 primary 
schools — total, 448 — which have ah aggregate atten- 
dance of abt. 100,000 scholars, controlled by a staff 
of 1,950 teachers. The expenditures for the support 
of schools in 1880 was $1,844,260. The literary re- 
sources of this city are embodied in the Philadelphia 
library, founded by Benj. Franklin, and incorjiorated 
in 1742, and its new branch— the Ridgway library 
contains abt. 150,000 volumes. The mercantile librar\', 
established in 1821, housed in a handsome and com- 
modious building erected in 1869, contains i:35,000 
volumes, the Athenaeum library 20,000. and the ap- 
pientices', founded in 1820, with '25,000 volumes. 
The library of the university contains 10,000. The 
Friends have a collection of abt, 25,000 volumes, and 
taking colleges, associations, and public and private 
libraries into account, it will be found that the 
amount of literarv pabulum furnished the citizens 
makes a total of oVer .500,000 volumes. The academy 
of natural sciences, established in 1812, besides a 
valuable library of 28,000 volumes, upon natural his- 
tory and kindred subjects, possesses the largest 
museum of natural history in the U. States, includ- 
ing choice and extensive ornithological, zoological, 
herbarian, and mineralogical collections. The Frank- 
lin institute, founded in 182i for the promotinu of 
the mechanical arts, has a collection of abt. 30,000 
volumes, of scientific works, in conjunction with 
valuable cabinets of mineral specimens, mechanical 



odels, &c. The historical society and philosophical 
iciety have each valuable collections of books. 1 he 
ninsVlvania ucademy of fine arts possesses a good 
collection of paintings of the modern school. The 
U. States navy yard, at League Islan.l, o" /he Dela- 
ware was purchased in 1862 for the sum of $.n0,000, 
and presented by the citizens to the^ national gover- 
ment as a naval station for the construction of ships

of war, and embraces an aieii of 923 acres. The U. 
States arsenal, founded in 1800, is located below tlie 
naval asylum, on the Schuylkill, and is used jjrinci- 
pally as a magazine and depot of clothing. A large 
arsenal located near the Delaware K., near Frank- 
ford, covers several ac-rcs in extent. Cramp's dry 
dock, built at a co?t of $450,000, is capable of accom- 
modating vessels of 450 ft. in length. The U. States 
naval asylum, a fine white marble building, with a 
frontage of 880 ft. and the naval hospital, can accom- 
modate nearly 580 persons. — The commercial impor- 
tance of ]'. has steadily increased since the opening 
of the Pennsylvania KK. to Pittsburg, whereby it has 
effected direct communication with the Mississipi)i 
Valley and the far West. The coal, petroleum, and 
grain trades are very extensive; several large eleva- 
tors have been erected, oik; at Girard Point has a 
capacity for storing 800,000 bush, of grain. The city 
is in direct intercourse with tiie chief Atlantic and 
Gulf ports, Liverpool and Ant\v(;rp, Ity lines of steam- 
ships and coasters. — The manuf. arc extcTisive and 
greater in the variety of articles made, the number 
of persons employed, and the; value of materials 
used than in any other city in the Union. Tiie i)lcn- 
tifulness of water, j^roxinnty to coal fields, together 
with the breadth of the space available for large 
manuf. establishments, and the comfort wliich me- 
chanics may enjoy with their families, havecontribn- 
ted to this result. In 1880, ac'cordingto the U. States 
census, there werein P. y,050nianuf. est:il)lisliin(nits, 
employing 197,064 hands ; capital investcul .iilsOjtWt;,- 
934 ; wages i)aid during the year $03,027,832 ; value 
of materials, $202,506,044 ; value of jjroducts, $322,- 
984,461. The maimf. comprise textile fabrics, ma- 
chinery, hardware;, tools, boots and shoes, chemicals, 
&c. Some of the largest and most cxtcTisive iron 
works are to be found in this city. One locomotive 
works alone employs 3,000 hands, with facilities for 
constructing 700 engines j)er annum. Extensive busi- 
ness is carried on in car wheels, heavy machine tools, 
castings, &c. P. is justly celebrated for manuf. of 
gas tubing and gas fixtures. Of certain grades of 
carpeting and small woolenware, P. has almost a 
monopoly. Large i>aper mills al)ouiid in the vicinity 
of the city, and tencl to make P. an economical em- 
porium of book and pai)er trade. Ship building is 
largely carried on, and the iron vessels constructed 
upon "the Delaware have attained a great celebrity. — 
The commerce of the port has been for several years 
steadily increasing, the increase being chiedy on 
breadstufTs and i)roduce. For the year 1882 tlie value 
of exjjorts to foreign countries was $138,131,258; im- 
ports, $34,136,579. Total imports and exports, $72,- 
267,837, Which was 4.90 per cent of the general com- 
merce of the U. States. The vessels wliich entered 
the port in the foreign trade were 426 American, of 
274,444 tons, and 1,313 foreign, of l,055,f«)l tons. 
There were 940 vessels of 211,653 tons belonging to 
the port, of wliich 587 sailing vessels of 125,179 tons, 
279 steam vess(!ls of 75,208 tons, 45 canal boats of 
5,990 tons, and 29 barges of 5,216 tons. The vessels 
built during the year were 55 of 28,991 tons, of 
which 38 of 24,470 tons were steamers.— The rail 
roads which have their depots in the city arc; the C.& 
A., the C'.,G.&M.E., the Penn., the P.,^f,&N.Y., the 
P.&A.C, the P.,W.&B., the P.&B.C, the P.&R., 
the W.C.&P., andthe W.J.— In 1882 there were 32 
nat. banks with an aggregate capital of $l(i,530,000; 
20 State and savings banks, and 207 newspapers and 
periodicals (of wliich 20 were daily). The i)rincipal 
theatres are the academy of music (3,000 seats), the 
Walnut street (1,500 seats), the Arch street (1,800 
seats), the Chestnut street (2,500seats), the American 
(2,800 seats), the Grand Central, and the museum. 1*. 
has a large number of markets, some of which arc of 
large size and superior character. — P. is divided into 
31 wards. The mayor is elected for 3 years. The 



legislative authority is vested in a select council of 
31 members elected for 3 years, and a common 
council of 68 members elected for 2 years. The U. 
States courts for the eastern district of Pa., meet 
here, and terms of the State supreme court are lield 
here. There are 4 courts of common pleas, each con- 
sisting of 3 judges, which have coordinate jurisdic- 
tion in civil matters within the city. P. sends 8 
senators and 38 representatives to the State legisla- 
ture. The jiolice force is under command of a chief, 
assisted by 4 captains, and consists of 1,200 men. 
There is a paid fire department, under the control 
of a board of 7 commissioners. The force consists of 
a chief engineer, 5 assistant engineers, and abt. 400 
men, organized into 27 steam engine conii)anies and 
5 hook and ladder comjianies. The city is sui)plied 
with water from the Schuylkill and Delaware Rs., 
chiefly from the formei-. There are 7 works ; the 
Fairmount, on the Schuylkill, at the lower extremity 
of the jiark, the Schuylkill, the Spring Garden, the 
Delaware, the Belmont, the lioxborough, and the 
Fraiikford. These workspump in average abt. 45,- 
000,000 gallons per day. The water dejiartmcnt is in 
charge of a chief engineer. The debt of the city in 
in 1882, was: gross, $72,264,596; net, $54,223,844. 

The assessed val. of taxable prop, in 1880 was 
$623,711,085. P. was founded by William Penn, 
who came over from England in 1682, accompanied 
by a colony of Quakers, and purchased the site from 
the Indians. The emigration thither was very rapid, 
and in 1684 the pop. was estimated at 2,500. Penn 
presented the city with a charter in 1701. It pros- 
jiered greatly, and was the most im])ortant city in 
the country during the colonial jjcriod and for more 
than a quarter of a century after tlie revolution. 
The first continental congress assembled here (in 
1774), as did also the subsequent congresses during 
the war. The declaration of independence was made 
and issued here, July 4, 1776. The convention which 
formed the constitution of the republic assembled 
herein May, 1787. Here resided the first president of 
the U. States, and here congress continued to meet 
until 1797. Until 1797 it was the capital of the colony 
and State of Pa., aiidfrom 1790 to 1800 Avas the seat 
of the government of the U. States. The city was in 
possession of the British fiom September, 1777, to 
June, 1778, a result of the unfortunate battles of 
Brandywine and Germantown. Since the revolution 
the city has grown steadily and rapidly. Pop. in 
1778 (census bv General CorJiwullis), 31,767; in 1800,

W. of Tucson and S. of the Gila valley is uninhabited 
except by the Papago Indians, who occupy a reser- 
vation near the Mexican border. This region consists 
of plains interspersed with broken or detached chains 
of mountains, and is covered with grass a part of the 
year, and considerable portions of it with mezquite, 
but it is deficient in water. The valley of the Gila, 
with irrigation, is very productive, and portions of it 
in this CO., are from 5 to 10 m. wide. Tlie Maricopa 
and Pima Indians occupy a reservation 25 m. long in 
this valley, W. of the centre of the co., E. of Tucson 
the surface consists of plains, valleys, and broken 
chains of mountains. The greater part is covered 
with nutritious grasses, and live oak and mezquite 
abound. The valleys with irrigation produce two 
crops a year. Gold, silver, copper, and lead are found 
in the mountains. The greater portion of this co. has 
been subject to the incursions of the Apaches. Min- 
ing and cattle and wool-raising are the leading pur- 
suits. Cap., Tucson. Val. of taxable prop. al3t. $3,-

Pinias, a family of Indians, formerly extending 
over Arizona, and in Mexico over Sonora and part of 
Sinaloa, and including the Pimas people, the Opatas, 
Eudeves, and Joves. They have always been an agri- 
cultural people, they embraced Christianity at an 
early day and faithfully adhered to it. The Pimas 
now within the limits of the U. States in Arizona, oc- 
cupy along with the Maricopas, a reservation of 64,- 
000 acres on both sides of the Gila R. from Maricopa 
Wells to Sacaton, in Pima and Maricopa cos., set 
apart for them in accordance with the act of Feb. 28, 
1859. They are tall, bony, and well-formed, are fond 
of athletic games, wear cotton blankets of their own 
manufacture, live in villages of dome-shaped huts, and 
wage a perpetual warfare against the Apaches. They 
cultivate the soil by meansof irrigation, are skillful 
in weaving, in basket and boat making, and have a 
rude kind of pottery. They have much degenerated 
since the whites from the north entered their coun- 
try, the men being thieves and the women corrupt. 
They now number abt. 4,000, and are under the re- 
ligious influence of the Retormed (German) Church.

Pittsburg, Pa., the cap. of Alleghany co., the 
2d city of the State in pop. and importance, the 12th 
in pop. and one of the chief manuf. cities in the 
Union, is situated at the confluence of the rivers 
Alleghany and Monongahela, which by their union, 
here forms the Ohio, which is at this place a quarter 
of a mile wide, and navigable by steamboats to the 
Gulf of Mexico through the Mississippi R.; 466 m. 
above Cincinnati, and by rail, 354 m. W. by N. from 
Philadelphia. It is built on a beautiful plain between 
the two rivers of a triangular form. Abt. a mile back 
of the the point it is surrounded by Grant's, Ayer's, 
and Quarry hills. It is substantially and compactly 
built, with many handsome residences, to which, 
however, a dingy appearance is given by the dust of 
the bituminous coal, so extensively used in its 
manuf. and otherwise, whence it is styled " Smoky 
City," while it owes its appellation of " Iron City " to 
the extent of its iron manuf. Five bridges span the 
Monongahela R. and 7 the Alleghany, 5 of which con- 
nect Pittsburg with*the city of Alleghany. The hills 
with which the city is surrounded are filled with bi- 
tuminous coal, which can easily be brought to the 
city, and afEords unequalled facilities for manuf. 
Among the public buildings are the municipal hall, 
the court-house, the custom-house and post-olfice, 
the U. States arsenal, and the mercantile library, a 
spacious and handsome building, containing 15,000 
volumes and reading rooms. Of the 150 churches of 
the city, the most noteworthy are the Roman Cath- 
olic cathedral of St. Paul, and Trinity church 
(Episcopalian). There are in Pittsburg 2 theatres, an 
opera house, an academy of music, and several pub- 
lic halls. The railroads which centre here, affording 
direct connection with all parts of the country, are 
the A.V., the C.&P., the Penn., the P.,C.&St.L., the 
P.,F.W.&C., the B.&O., the P.&C.P., the P.&L.E., 
the P.S., and the P.&W. Additional facilities for 
trsL&c are afforded by the 8 rivers. Lumber and oil 
are transported to a considerable extent on the 
Monongahela R., nearly all the lumber from the W. 
COS. of the State finding its way to market in rafts 
by this stream. Coal and coke are produced in large 
quantities on the Monongahela, and are floated in 
barges to Cincinnati, Louisville, and New Orleans 
when the rivers are in flood. The consumption, quan- 
tities shipped, and production of coal and coke at 
Pittsburg for the year 1881, was as follows : quantity 
consumed, coal 40,000,000 bis., coke 30,000,000 ; quan- 
tities shipped by river, coal 75,000,000 bis., coke 3,- 
780,700 ; quantities shipped by rail, coal 88,471,755, 
coke 104,221,140 ; total production, coal 203,471,755 
bis., coke 138,001,840 bis. Pittsburg is a port of de- 
livery. The number of vessels belonging to the port 
in 1881 was 214 of 52,711 tons in aggregate, of which 
169 of 36,467 tons were steamers, and 45 of 16,244 
tons were barges. The number built during the same 
year was 27 steamers of 6,424 tons. A new and prom- 
ising industry is the building for exportation steam 
and other boats of iron, steel, and wood fitted and 
put together here, then taken apart and sent by rail 



Hn? 7*°vy^'*^"ff^'PP^'^*° ^^^ P^'-tof destina- 
tion, and there put together complete for sea or river 
service. The statement of the industries of Fittsbure- 
given by the U. States census of 1880, being limited 
to Pittsburg proper, does not show what is truly 
the business of the city, which should include that 
of Its sister city of Alleghany, or in fact of AUegbanv 
CO. The twin cities of Pittsburg and Alleghany are 
so directly and intimately associated and connected 
in business that it would be very difticult, in fact 
almost impossible, go separate them, Pittsburg and 
Alleghany capital, brains and industry, being em- 
ployed in the mills, factories, warehouses, and offices 
of either city. The following statement, showing the 
business of Pittsburg, Alleghany, and immediate 
vicinity (exclusive of the retail industries), was pre- 
pared by Mr. G. Follansbee, superintendent of the 
chamber of commerce of Pittsburg.

Platte River, is formed in Lincoln co.. Neb.. 
by the union of the N. and S. forks. The former rises 
in the North Park, Col., receiving the Sweetwater, 
the Laramie, and other streams. The South Platte 
flows from the South Park of Col., and in its upper 
course is extensively utilized in irrigation and as a 
source of water-power. The united stream flows E. 
and reaches the Missouri near Plattsmouth, Cass co.. 
Neb. It is the widest, but neither the largest in vol- 
ume nor the longest aflBuent of the Missouri. Its 
mouth is over 1,000 j^ards wide, but it is so very shal- 
low that it can nowhere be navigated with much suc- 
cess. Its valley is generally very fertile. The drain- 
age area is estimated at 7,500 sq. m. The Loup fork 
and Elkhorn are the chief tributary streams. Estima-

Borgne on the E. by the Rigolets, a narrow winding

to a large number of lumber and shingle mills. There 
are also 3 ship-yards and 2 dry docks. The trade in 
fish is important. Port Huron is the port of entry of 
the customs district of Huron, which embraces all 
the coast of fhe State bordering on Lake Huron, and 
has a large domestic and foreign commerce. The 
traffic by rail with Canada is extensive. The city has a

Portland, Me., a city^, 

Portland, Me., the commercial metropolis of 
the State, port of entry, and cap. of Cumberland co., 
is very pleasantly situated on a peninsula at 
the W. extremity of Casco Bay, between Casco 
R. on the S. and Back Cove on the N., 68 m. 
S.S.W. of Augusta, 108 m. N.N.E. of Boston, 
and 290 m. S.E. of Montreal, by rail. Lat. 43° 
39' N., Ion. 70° 15' W. The length of the penin- 
sula, from E. to W. , is 3 m. , and its average width abt. 
f m., containing abt. 2,200 acres of land. The ground 
on which the city is built rises, towards both its E. 
and W. extremities, into considerable elevations, 
which gives a beautiful appearance to the general 
outline of the place, as it is approached from the sea. 
The city is regularly laid out, especially the more 
modern portions of it, and several of the streets are 
among the handsomest in any of our cities. It is 
built mostly with brick ; and the dwellings, always 
neat, are, many of them, spacious and elegant. Beau- 
tiful elms and other shade trees adorn several of the 
more retired avenues. For a city of its size, Portland 
has exceptionally fine public buildings. The city hall 
is one of the largest and finest municipal structures 
in the country. It is surmounted with a graceful 
dome 160 ft. liigh. The post-office is a beautiful build- 
ing of white Vermont marble, in the mediaeval Ital- 
ian style. The custom-house, erected at a cost of 
.$485,000, is a handsome granite structure, with elab- 
orate ornamentation within. The society of natural 
history has a fine collection of birds,, fishes, reptiles, 
shells and minerals. The libraiy, incorporated in 
1867, contains 15,000 volumes. The Marine hospital, 
erected in 1855, at a cost of $80,000, is an imposing 
edifice. On a promontorj' at the E. end of the city, 
rising abt. 100 ft. above the water, stands a tower, 
70 ft. high, erected in 1807, bj' the merchants of Port- 
land, for the purpose of observing vessels at sea. It 
is furnished with a large telescope, and with signals 
to be raised on the approach of vessels making this 
port. This position commands a most extensive and 
beautiful prospect in all directions, embracing the 
Atlantic Ocean as far as the eye can reach ; Casco 
Bay, to the mouth of the Kennebec, with the numer- 
ous verdant and beautiful islands reposing upon its 
bosom ; the Agamenticus hills in York, and the 
whole range of mountains on the borders of N.H., 
from Ossipee, near Lake Winnipiseogee, to the White 
Mts., which constitute the crowning feature of the 
landscape. The serene, majestic form of Mount Wash- 
ington, as it stands in clear relief against the distant 
heavens, is here a most impressive object ; while be- 
low, " in the immediate vicinity," as one has said of 
it, " lie the citv and adjacent country, as a gem in its 
emerald setting." The principal lines of railroads 
which have here their E. terminus, are the E., the M.

C, the P.&O., the B.&M., the P.&R., and the G.T. 
Portland is the winter port of the ocean steamers 
connecting with G.T.RR. at Montreal in summer, and 
plying to Liverpool and Glasgow. There are 2 lines 
of steamers daily to New York, daily boats to Boston, 
and lines to Bangor, St. John and Halifax. The har- 
bor is one of the best in the U. States, being near the 
ocean, easy of access, safe and ample, with sufficient 
depth of water for the largest vessels. It is not ob- 
structed with ice, except occasionally in the most ex- 
treme cold weather. This city, from its relative posi- 
tion, enjoys fine advantages for trade and commerce. 
The foreign trade is chiefly carried on with the West 
Indies, South America and Europe, the exports 
being for the most part provisions, lumber, ice, and 
fish, and the imports molasses, sugar, crockery, salt 
and iron. The value of imports for the year 1882 was 
$2,650,000 (of which $336,432 were foreign exports); 
of exports $2,453,39i. The number of entrances from 
foreign ports in 1882 was 338, tonnage 176,789; clear- 
ances 478, tonnage 235,773; entrances in the coast- 
wise trade and fisheries, 728 of 610,064 tons, clear- 
ances 597 of 550,240 tons. There were, belonging to 
the district, 351 sailing vessels of 108,915 tons, 23 
steamers of 7,985 tons, and 2 barges of 718 tons ; 
built during the year, 5 sailing vessels of 3,256 tons, 
and 2 steamers of 165 tons. The vessels employed in 
the cod and mackerel fisheries in 1882 were 135 of 
6,824 tons. Portland has 19 public schools, numerous 
charitable associations, 25 churches, 3 lines of street 
cars, 6 nat. banks, besides private banking houses, 
28 newspapers and periodicals (of which 5 daily), a 
safe deposit company, 2 iron rolling-mills, manuf. of 
locomotives and marine engines, a dry dock deeper 
than any other in the U. States, and manuf. of car- 
riages, furniture, varnishes, etc. The canning of 
corn and lobsters is extensively carried on. The city 
is divided into 7 wards, and is governed by a mayor 
and a board of aldermen of one member, and a com- 
mon council of 3 members, for each ward ; it has an 
organized police force, an efficient fire department, 
and is abundantly supplied with good and clean 
water from Sebago Lake, 17 m. distant. Portland 
was settled in 1632, and has had a steady growth ; but 
on the night of July 4, 1866, a great fire swept away 
half the business portion, destroying $10,000,000 
worth of property. The entire district destroyed by 
the fire has since been rebuilt. Pop. in 1800,

gation, and is built on a plateau rising gradually from 
the river, a range of fir-covered hills surrounding it 
in a semi-circle on the west, and commanding fine 
views of the Willamette valley with the Cascade Mts. 
in the distance. The streets are regularly laid out, 
well paved, lighted with gas, and except in the busi- 
ness portion shaded with maples. There are many 



Pnrtt^nH "• ""tt^^^jT ^"*^ ^^^^^^ 1^"''!''^ buildings. 

Portland is the N. termmus of the O.C.RR and is 
connected by two ferries with East Portland on the 
opposite bank of the Willamette, the N. terminus of 
the 0.&C.RR. A semi-wkly line of steamers run to 
Victoria, British Columbia, a tri-monthly line to San 
Francisco, and a monthly line to Victoria and Sitka 
Alaska. There are also frequent lines to various 
points on the Columbia and Willamette Rs. A daily 
line to Kalama, Wash., 50 m. distant, connects with 
the Pacific div. of the N.P.RR. for points on Puget 
Sound. The trade and commerce of Portland are in- 
creasing rapidly, the chief articles of shipment being 
wheat, flour, salmon, and lumber. The greater part 
of the wheat is exported to the British Isles, while 
the flour is shipped to San Francisco, New York, 
Liverpool, China, and Japan. The total exports for 
the year 1880 amounted to $3,105,290. During the 
same year 125 vessels of 203,193 tons in aggregate en- 
tered and 102 vessels of 187,746 tons cleared the port 
in the coastwise trade. In 1881 there were belonging 
to the port 10 sailing vessels of 2,346 tons, and 57 
steamers of 27,079 tons in aggregate. The U. States 
courts for Oregon are held here. There are good

Portsmoutli, N.IL, a city^, port of entry, 
and semi-cap of Rockingham co., the only seaport in 
the State, is built on a beautiful peninsula, on the S. 
side of the Piscataqua R., abt. 3 m. from the ocean, 
and on B.,L.&C. and E.RRs., 54 m. N. by E. from 
Boston. The ground rises gradually from the harbor, 
affording to the city a peculiarly pleasant and health- 
ful situation. It is supplied with excellent water, 
brought by an aqueduct from a fountain 3 m. dis- 
tant, and has a good fire department. The Piscataqua 
is from i to j m. wide where it passes the town, and 
although the current has so much rapidity as to pre- 
vent the river from freezing, it forms one of the most 
secure and commodious harbors in the U. States, in- 
to which ships of any size may enter with perfect 
safety. It is well protected, by its islands, from the 
N.E. storms, which are the most to be dreaded on 
this coast, and can be easily defended, and rendered 
perfectly impregnable, in time of war. The main 
channel passes on the E. side of Great Island, on the 



N.W. point of which is Fort Constitution, and oppo- 
site, in Kittery, is Fort McCIary. On two other islands 
are Forts Washington and Sullivan. There is another 
entrance on the S. side of New Castle, called Little 
Harbor, where the water is shoal and the bottom 
sandy. The L^. States navy yard, situated on the har- 
bor of Portsmouth, is admirably located for its ob- 
jects on an island called Continental, or Badger's 
Island, on the E. side of the river, within the limits 
of Kittery tp.. Me. Here is every convenience for 
the construction and repair of vessels of the largest 
class, among which a balance drj' dock, 350 ft. long, 
121 ft. wide, and 72 ft. high. The value of the for- 
eign commerce of Portsmouth is unimportant. In the 
coastwise trade 1,067 vessels of 119,355 tons entered, 
and 1,083 vessels of 120,527 tons cleared the port in 
1880. In 1880 there were belonging to the port 71 
sailing vessels of 10,505 tons and 6 steamers of 317 
tons in aggregate. The mauuf. are of considerable 
extent, and include cotton fabrics (Kearsarge mills, 
with 26,000 spindles), hoisery, ale and beer, boots 
and shoes, carriages, medicinal cod-liver oil, copper 
and brass foundry products, sleighs, soap, leather, 
&c. Ship-building is also carried on. There are high . 
and graded schools, a commercial college and a 
young ladies' seminary, the Portsmouth Athenceum 
with a reading room, a library of abt. 12,000 vol- 
umes, and cabinets of minerals and natural his- 
tory, 4 nat., 2 savings, and 1 other bank, 2 daily and 4 
wkly papers, and abt. 12 churches. Portsmouth was 
settled in 1623, and incorporated as a city in 1849.

Po'tomac, a river forming the S. boundary of 
Md. through its whole course, dividing it from Va. 
and W.Va. It rises by two main branches in the Al- 
leghany Mts., called the N. branch and the S. branch ; 
and also receives numerous other streams from tlie 
same elevated regions, which are among its more dis- 
tant sources. The course of the two main branches 
is N.E. at first, until the N. branch passes Cumber- 
land, where it is inflected to the S.E. and breaks 
through several ridges of elevated lands into the val- 
ley of the S. branch, and forms a junction with it. 
From the junction, which isal)t. 20 m. S.E. Cumber- 
land, its course forms an irregular curve, first N.E. 
and then generally S.E. until it reaches the city of 
Washington. Thence flowing S. and S.W. it expands 
into an estuary from 6 to 8 m. broad, and after a 
course of 40 m. again changes to S.E. for abt. 70 m. 
and enters Chesapeake bay, 75 m. from the Atlantic, 
the entire length being nearly 400 m. Its principal 
tributary is the Shenandoah, which enters it just W. 
of the Blue Ridge. Several other streams, but none 
of considerable size, also contribute to its volume. 
Of these the principal are the Savage and Monocacy 
Rs., and the Conegocheague, Patterson, Occoquan, 
and Aquia Creeks, all of which are navigable for short 
distances. The tide extends to GeorgetowTi, 125 m. 
from its mouth, and it is navigable for ships of tlie 
line to the city of Washington. From its source y) 
tide water the river has a great descetit. There arc a 
number of falls, including Houre's, the Shenandoah, 
Seneca,Great, and Little ; and from Westjiort toWash- 
ington, abt. 220 m. the difference in its altitude isl,- 
160 ft. It abounds in beautiful scenerj-, and its pas- 
sage through the Blue Ridge at the junction of the 
Shenandoah at Harper's Ferry ranks among the finest 
natural curiosities of the country.

Prairie O^m'j-z), [French, a ineadow], is a tract 
of countiy in its natural state, covered with grass. In 
this countrj' the name has been applied by the early 
French explorers to the great fertile, treeless plains 
which lie between O. and Mich, on the E. and the 
arid plains on the W. The region over which they 
mainly extend is the W. part of O., nearly the whole 
of Ind., 111., and Iowa, the S. part of Mich., the N. 
part of Mo., and portions of Wis., Kan., and Neb. 
On the head waters of the Illinois and Wabash, and 
S. and W. of Lake Michigan, the prairies are veiy 
level and smooth, and are termed flat. Those of 
other regions, where the surface is undulating and 
broken by the depressions of the streams, are known 
as rolling prairies. Trees are met with upon the prair- 
ies under peculiar circumstances of moisture and 
soil, in scattered groups, called groves, or along the 
larger streams, or occasionally on low rocky ridges. 
West of the Mississippi they become less frequent, 
and near Ion. 98° W. they disappear altogether. The 
soil of the prairies is generally free from stones. In 
the swales and in some of the bottom lands the rich 
black vegetable mould is very deep, but on the up- 
per prairies its depth is usually from one to two ft. 
The subsoil is almost invariably an argillaceous loam, 
more or less mixed in its lower portions with sand 
and occasional pebbles. The vast plains lying be- 
tween the 99th and 104th meridians, and reaching 
from the Big Horn Mts. on the N. to the Llano Es- 
tacado on the S., differ from the prairies in being 
arid and partly desert, although irrigation generally 
renders them very fertile. The mound prairies near 
Puget Sound, and in other parts of the Pacific coast, 
are so called because they are thickly studded with 
earth mounds, generally 3 or 4 ft. high and 30 to 40 
ft. in diameter at the base.

:Provideiice, R.I., a N. co., bordered N. and 
E. by Mass. and W. by Conn., and drained by the 
Blaekstone R., which runs partly along the E. bor- 
der, and the Pawtuxet, which forms a portion of the 
S. boundary ; area, 390 sq. m. It has an uneven sur- 
face and generally fertile soil. Market garden pro- 
ducts, potatoes and hay are extensively raised. The 
manuf. interests are of very considerable magnitude.

— the largest city in the State, port of entry, cap. of 
Providence co., and semi cap. of the State, is the 3d 
city of New England in wealth and pop. It is situated 
at the head of navigation on Providence R. (an arm 
of Narraganset Bay), and on the B.&P., the N.Y.& 
N.E.,the P.&S., the P.&W., the N.Y.,P.&B., and 
the P.,W.&B.RRs., 35 m. from the sea, 30 m. N.N.W. 
Newport, 40 m. S.W. Boston, and 169 m. N.E. New 
York. The river extends to the centre of the city 
when it expands into a cove nearly a mile in circum- 
ference, surrounded by an elm shaded park, which, 
in its situation and capability, is one of the most at- 
tractive features of any city in the country. The land 
on the E. side of the river is hilly, attaining, at its 
greatest height, 304 ft. above tide water. The soil is 
rich and heavy. On the W. side of the river the land 
is more level, and the soil light and sandy, its great- 
est height above tide water being only 78 ft. The 
harbor of Providence is safe and commodious, but it 
is not safely approached by large vessels without a 
pilot. Commerce was the favorite pursuit of the citi- 
zens of Providence at an early period of its history. 
The East India business, before 1813, was pursued 
with great success for many years. Since that period, 
this and all foreign commerce has gradually declin- 
ed. The value of imports from foreign countries for 
the year 1883 was $134,094 ; exports, $1,314. There 
is still a large amount of coasting business done in 
Providence. There were belonging to the port in 1883 
115 sailing vessels of 15,104 tons, and 39 steam vessels 
of 33,440 tons. But for years the attention of the 
money-making part of the community has been with- 
drawn from commerce and fixed on manuf. Much 
of the capital and enterprise of Providence men is 
invested in the manuf. establishments in and near 
its borders. The water power is occupied to its full 
extent, besides which there are in operation a large 
number of steam engines. They are employed in 
grinding grain, sawing and polishing marble, print- 
ing, bleaching, calendering, and dyeing cloths, saw- 
ing and planing lumber, driving bellows in furnaces 
and foundries, manuf. machinery, screws, nails, rub- 
ber shoes, small wares, furniture, power loom pick- 
ers, carriages, iron, gold and silver wares, fire-arms, 
cotton and woolen goods, refining gold and silver, 
&c. The most prominent industry is the manuf. of 
gold jewelry, in which are engaged abt. 150 estab- 
lishments of all sizes. There are abt. 35 establishments 
engaged in the manuf. of woolen cloths, yarns, Ac, 
and worsted goods, and abt. 50, with 150,000 spindles, 
in the manuf. of printing cloths, yarns, battings, 
thread, spool cotton, lacings, braids, &c. Provi- 
dence is the leading market for the trade in cloth 
printing, and has the largest manuf. of solid silver 
ware and of "small wares" in the world. There are 
35 nat. banks having an aggregate capital of !t?r2.000,- 
000 ; 9 State banks ; 7 savings banks ; and 6 i)rivate 
bankers. The city is noted for its elegant and spa- 
cious private residences, surrounded by beautiful and 
expensive grounds. The most noteworthy buildings 
are the arcade, the largest of the kind in the U. 
States, the city hall, the State house, the county 
court-house, the opera house, the Butler exchange, 
the Union depot, and the Narragansett hotel. There 
are also several handsome churches. Westminster 
street is the main business thoroughfare. On the 



heights m the E section of the city are the spacious 
grounds and substantial buildings of Brown univer- 
sity, an old and important institution of learning 
founded in 1764. Its library numbers, over 50 00(') 
volumes and is housed in a handsome fire-proof 
building. Ihe museum of natural history is rich in 
specimens, and the art collection includes some good 
portraits. The grounds comprise 16 acres, and arc 
shaded with grand old elms. The Rhode Island his- 
torical society has a fine brick and granite build- 
ing opposite the University grounds, in which are 
a valuable library and some interesting historical 
relics. The Athenaeum is a substantial granite build- 
ing, containing a reading-room, a library of 38,000 
volumes, and some valuable paintings. The Butler 
hospital for the insane occupies large and imposing 
buildings on the W. bank of Seekonk R., surrounded 
by extensive grounds and commanding broad views. 
The Dexter asylum for the poor is a fine edifice of 
brick, situated on elevated land in the N.E. part 
of the city. The Rhode Island hospital has stately 
buildings surrounded by pleasant grounds in the S. 
part of the city, fronting on the harbor. The reform 
school is in the S.E. section of the city, and near by 
is the home for aged women. The State farm, in 
Cranston, comprises 500 acres, and contains the 
State prison, work-house, house of correction, alms- 
house, and State hospital for the insane. The city 
has always been noted for the number and effective- 
ness of its public schools and higher institutions of 
learning, among the latter of which, besides Brown 
university are the yearly meeting boarding school, 
under the control of the society of Friends, 3 flourish- 
ing Roman Catholic academies, and the female 
academy of the sacred heart of Jesus. There are 5 
daily and 15 weekly and monthly papers and periodi- 
cals. The city is divided into 10 wards, and is govern- 
ed by a mayor, a board of aldermen of 10, and a 
common council of 40 members, elected animally. It 
is liberally, since 1871, supplied with excellent water 
from Pawtuxet R.,6 m.distant,the waterworks costing 
abt. $4,500,000. The police force numbers abt. 300 
men, and there is an efficient paid fire department, 
consisting of 150 oflacers and men, divided into 5 
steam-engines, 6 hose, and 3 hook and ladder com- 
panies. Providence was settled by Roger Williami in 
1636, received its first patent in 1643, suffered much 
in the war of King Philip in 1675, and was incor- 
porated as a city in 1833. Pop. in 1800, 7,614 ; in

l*iig-et SoMiicl, Wash., an inland sea, perhaps 
the finest body of water in the world. It extends S. 
from the E. end of the Strait of Fuca, through which 
it communicates with the Pacific Ocean, into the 
N.W. portion of the territory, for a distance in a di- 
rect line of about 80 m. Its principal constituents 
are Admiralty Inlet, Puget Sound proper, the S. ter- 
mination of this inlet, and Hood's Canal. Admiralty 
inlet extends from Strait of Fuca a little E. of S., 
with an average breadth of nearlj' 6 m., for 70 m., 
and communicates with the sound proper through 
the " Narrows, " 1 m. wide and 4 m. long. The 
sound extends S.W. from the Narrows, ramifying 
into numerous bays and inlets, and containing many 
islets. Hood's Canal branches off from Admiralty 
Inlet 18 m. S. of the Strait of Fuca, and extends 
S.W., with an average breadth of 2 m., for 50 m., 
when it bends abruptly and extends N.E. for 15 m., 
nearly connecting with the waters of the sound. 
Hood's Canal on the one hand and Admiralty Inlet 
and the sound on the other, enclose a peninsula of 
which Kitsap co. forms the greater part. "Nothing 
can exceed" says Admiral Wilks, in a report to the 
Navy Department," the beauty of these waters and 
their safety. Not a shoal exists within the Straits of 
Juan de Fuca, Admiralty Inlet or Hood's Canal that 
can in any way interrupt their navigation by a 74- 
gun ship. I venture nothing in saying there is no 
country in the world that possesses waters equal to 
these. They cover an area of abt. 2,000 sq. m. The 
shores of all these inlets and bays are remarkably 
bold ; so much so that in many places a ship's side 
would strike the shore before her kneel would touch 
the ground. The country by which these waters are 
surrounded is remarkably salubrious and offers every 
advantage for the accommodation of a vast commer- 
cial and military marine, with convenience for docks 
and a great many sites for towns and cities, at all 
times well supplied with water and capable of being 
well provided with everything by the surrounding 
country, which is well adapted for agriculture. The 
Straits of Juan de Fuca are 95 m. in length and have 
an average width of 11 m. At the entrance (S m. in 
width) no danger exists and it may be safely navigat- 
ed throughout. No part of the world affords finer 
inland sounds or a greater number of harbors than 
are found within the Straits of Juan de Fuca, capa- 



PUL 



i 



ble of receiving the largest class of vessels, and 
without a danger in them which is not visible. From 
the rise and fall of the tides (IS feet) every facility 
is offered for the erection of works for a great mari- 
time nation. The country also affords as many sites 
for water-power as any other." There is a slight error 
in the report as to the length of the straits, but it is 
eon-ect in everything else. The whole length of the 
shore line of Puget Sound, as shown by the Coast 
Survey, is as follows : —

The statistics of the Puget Sound trade are very

leaves the sound in coasting vessels, and no record 
is kept of the quantity they ship.

Red River, the first large river which enters 
the Mississippi above its mouth, coming down from 
the far S.W. It rises in the Llano Estacado or great 
Stake Plain in the Pan-Handle of Texas, in lat. 34° 
40' N., Ion. 103° 2' W. It flows E. to the 100th meri- 
dian, then S. and E. by S., separating Texas from 
Indian T. and Arkansas, and entering the latter State, 
bends to the S. , passes into Louisiana, and afterwards 
flows S.E. until it falls into the Mississippi, 341 m. 
below its mouth. Its length is abt. 1,200 m. , and its 
basin is abt. 97,000 sq. m. in extent. Its remotest 
drainage-slope is on an elevated and barren plain, 2,- 
450 ft. above sea-level, marked by no channels or 
hills, but by a few isolated water-holes, which from 
time immemorial have been designated by stakes to 
guide even the Indian traveler. The imperceptible 
slopes converge at abt. Ion. 102° on the same lat., 
and then enter a canyon of more than 100 m. in 
length amid broken mountains, and of such depth 
(500 to 1,000 ft.) and. such steepness as to be inacces- 
sible, so far as known, except at the two extremities. 
This remarkable chasm has a varying breadth of 5 to 
20 m., said to have a soil of great fertility. It is owned 
and held by Comauches and Stake Plain Indians, who 
effectually guard it against white intrusion. On emerg- 
ing from the canyon, the river flows over a broad bed 
of light shifting sands through an arid prairie country 
to the " cross timbers " a belt of woodland between 
the 98th and 97th meridians. Below this the river 
flqws through rich and densely wooded alluvial bot- 
toms. Here the borders contract, and the water for 
a great portion of the year washes both banks, carry- 
ing the loose alluvium from one side and depositing it 
on the other, in such a manner as to produce constant 
changes in the channel, and to render navigation 
difficult. This character continues throughout the 
rest of its course ; and in this section it is subject to 
heavy inundations, which often flood the bottoms to 
such a degree as to destroy the crops, and occasion- 
ally leave a deposit of white sand, rendering the soil 
barren and worthless. Its depth greatly varies, be- 
ing only 6 or 8 ft., even in floods, throughout the des- 
ert, while it is some 50 ft. in the fertile region. In 
extreme low water a depth of 3 ft. may be depended 
upon below Alexandria, about 4 ft. thence to the 
head of the raft, and 1 ft. thence to Fort Towson 
(Ind. Ten). Steamers of 4 ft. draught can ascend to 
Shreveport, La. (330 m. above its mouth), at any 
time except in extreme low water, but to Fort Tow- 
son or even Fulton for only about three months in 
the year, and frequently only run in one direction 
during a single rise. The raft, an immense collection 
of trees and'drift wood, extending abt. 15 m. from 
Shreveport above, has long obstructed the navigation 
but in 1873 a navigable channel was opened through 
its whole length. Red R. receives its name from its 
peculiar color, supposed to be derived from the red 
clay of the gypseous formation through which its up- 
per course lies. The chief tributaries on the left bank 
are the North fork (a little W. of the 99th meridian) 
and theWashita, in Indian Ter., Little R. in Arkansas, 
and Black R., formed by the Washita and Tensas, 
which enters in Louisiana not far from theMississippi. 
On the right bank the chief tributaries are tlie 
Pease and Big Wichita Rs., which enter from W. 
Texas. In Louisiana, RedR. sends off numerous bay- 
ous, which find their way back again to the main 
stream, forming frequent lakes.

Rhode Island, a New England State, the 
smallest in the Union, bounded N. and E. by Massa- 
chusetts, S. by the Atlantic Ocean, and W. by Con- 
necticut. It is situated between lat. 41° 8' and 42° 3' 
N., Ion. 71° 8' and 71° 53' W. The greatest length is 48 
m., the breadth 39 m.,and the area, (including water 
surface) 1,250 sq. m. 'The natural features of the State 
are somewhat peculiar. About one-tenth part of it is 
water, and of the residue, a very considerable portion 
is made up of islands. The interior, with the ex- 
ception of the intervales along the streams, is generally 
rough and hilly, better adapted to grazing than to 
the mising of grain. The most con.siderable hills in 
the State are Mount Hope in Bristol, Pine in Exeter, 
Easchahoague and Hopkins in West Greenwich, 
Chopmist in Scituate, Neutaconkanet in Johnston, 
Woonsocket in Smithfield, and Diamond in Cum- 
berland. Narragansett Bay, which divides the State 
into two unequal parts, leaving far the greater 
portion on the West, extends N. from the Atlantic 
Ocean a distance of 28 m. It is from 3 to 12 m. wide, 
and holds in its embrace the islands of Aquidneek, 
or Rhode Island, Canonicut, and several smallerones. 
The first named, which has been called the " Eden 
of America," is 15 m. long, from 3 to 3J m. wide, and 
contains abt. 50 sq. m. It^comprises the city of New- 
port, the town of Middletown, and the greater part 
of Portsmouth. Newport near its S. end, is a cele- 
brated watering place. Newport harbor, which lies 
between Canonicut and Rhode Island, is one of the 
finest in the world, and has a depth of water sulli- 
cient forthe largest ships. Canonicut is 7ni. long and 
about 1 m. wide, and forms tlie town of Jamestown. 
Projecting southward from the mainlainl on the E. 
is a peninsula which divides Narragansett Bay and 
forms Mt. Hope Bay, at the head of which Taunton 
R , enters. In the Atlantic, abt. 10 m. S. by \N . of 
Point Judith fat the W. entrance of Narragansett 
Bay) is Block Island. R.I. has 3 considerable rivers, 
which, though none of them navigable for any great 
distance, afford valuable water-power; these are— 
the Paweatuck, called above the town of tliat name 
theBlackstone, the Pawtuxet, which flows fe.E.. and 
the Paweatuck, which flows through the W portmu 
of the State and forms a part of the boundary be- 
tween Rhode Island and Connecticut.-The W . half 
of the State and a small tract along the E. shore 
of Narragansett Bay are Eozoic,but a tract Ci.vcring 
all the islands of Karragansett Bay and part of it.s 
western shore belonffs to the Carboniferous era and 
forms the easternmost bed of anthracite in the L . 
States The coal has not been esteemed as equal to 
the Pennsylvania anthracite in quality, though per- 
haps even more extensive in quantity, but it improves

ia quality as lower strata are reached. About 10,000 
to 15,000 tons are annually mined. Excellent iron ore 
is found in various parts of the State, and lime of 
the best quality is burned from the limestones at Lime 
Rock, which belong to the coal measures and 
abound in fossil plants. S.andstone, serpentine and 
marble abound in several parts of the State, and 
excellent brick are made from the clay of Providence 
CO. — The soil of the State is for the most part moder- 
ately fertile, though the gravelly and pebbly soil of 
the W. part, and the sand-dunes and salt marshes of 
the S.W., are exceptions ; but much of it is broken, 
rocky and difficult of cultivation. The islands of 
Narragansett Bay and the region drained by Pawtuck- 
et and Pawtuxet Rs., is the most arable. — The vege- 
tation does not differ materially from that of Mas- 
sachusetts and Connecticut, though, from the pre- 
sence of a large body of landlocked water like 
Narragansett Bay, the temperature is somewhat 
milder than that of either of the adjacent States. 
About one-fourth of the surface is in woodland. The 
flora and fauna also of the State are almost without 
exception those of Massachusetts and Connecticut. 
Narragansett Bay is a favorite resort for the duck, 
brant and teal families, and the swamps and marshes 
adjacent for snipe, woodcock and grouse. — The cli- 
mate, though modified to some extent by the influ- 
ence of the bay, is not materially different from that 
of the adjacent States. The summer climate of New- 
port is delightful ; the E. winds are tempered by the 
breadth of land over which they come, and the S. 
winds become mild by the influence of the Gulf 
Stream. Careful observations upon meteorologj^ were 
made by Professor Caswell, of Brown university, at 
Providence, during a period of 29 j'ears. The mean 
of Feb. (the coldest month) for the whole period 
was 26.7.3°, and the mean of July (the warmest month), 
70.69°. The highest annual mean was 49.86°, and the 
lowest, 44.62°; mean for the 29 years, 48.19°. Fifteen 
degrees below zero was the lowest temperature re- 
corded, and 94 degrees above the highest, giving a 
range of 109 degrees. The largest annual rainfall was 
53.27 inches, and the smallest, 30.96 inches ; mean 
for the whole period, 40.38 inches. — R.I. is not an 
agricultural State. Her pop. is too dense, and her 
best lands too valuable for town-sites, to make farm- 
ing, except in the way of market gardening, largely 
profitable. The area of farming-lands in the State, 
as in Massachusetts and Connecticut, has been gradu- 
ally diminishing, mainly because the lauds were be- 
coming too valuable tobe cultivated as farms. The 
crops of cereals are never large enough for home con- 
sumption. The principal products in the census year 
1880 were 17,783 bush, of barley, 327,967 of corn, and 
159,339 of oats. The live-stock in farms consisted of 9,- 
661 horses, 3,523 workingoxen, 21,460 milch cows, 10,- 
601 other cattle, 17,211 sheep, and 14,121 hogs.— R.I. 
is essentially a manuf. State. It stands 8th among 
the States of the Union in the amount of capital en- 
gaged, and 14th in the value of products ; but in 
proportion to area or pop. it is unrivaled. In 1880 
the State had 2,205 manuf. establishments, employ- 
ing 62,878 hands ; capital invested, .$75,575,943 ; wages 
paid during the year, $21,355,619 : value of materials, 
$58,103,443 : value of products, $104,163,621. The first 
cotton-mill in the U. States was erected in R.I., which 
now stands next to Mass. in this branch of indus- 
try. In 1880 there were 115 cotton-mills working 29,- 
660 looms and 1,764,.569 spindles employing 21,474 
hands; capital invested, $28,047,331; wages paid 
during the year, $5,320,.303 ; l)ales of cotton consumed 
177,480 ; value of materials, $12,291,437 ; value of pro- 
ducts, $22,875,111. The other leading indu.?tries are 
printing, cotton and woolen goods, bleaching and 
dyeing, woolen goods, machinery, cotton and woolens, 
jewelry, worsted goods, screws, India-nibber and 
elastic goods. The State is divided into 3 customs 



districts whose ports of entry are Bristol, Newport, 
and Providence (which see). In 1882 there were 212 
m. of railroad in operation in the State. — The public 
schools are free, and are supported by State, town 
and district taxes. In 1882 the number of children in 
the State between the ages of 5 and 15 years Mas 52,- 
273 ; children attending public schools, 33,504 ; num- 
ber of schools, 824 ; number of teachers, 889 ; expen- 
ditures for school purposes, $544,200. Brown univer- 
sity is the only college. An agricultural and scientific 
department has been added to it. The boarding school 
of Friends at Providence has a property valued at 
$850,000. The newly estabhshed school for the deaf, 
which has been established only four years, is on a suc- 
cessful basis, and has 25 pupils. The permanent school 
fund of the State is $266,950. The penal, correctional, 
and charitable institutions on the State farm at Crans- 
ton cost $147,190 for support during the year 1881. 
A new reform school, with separate departments for 
boys and girls, has been added, for which the build- 
ings are not yet complete. In 1882 the work-house 
and house of correction contained 180 men and 57 
women ; the asylum for the incurable insane, 113 
men and 132 women. — R.I. is divided into 8 cos., viz.: 
Bristol, Kent, Newport, Providence and Washington. 
Providence and Newport are the capitals ; the other 
cities are Lincoln, Pawtucket, Warwick, and Woon- 
socket. The legislature consists of a senate of 36 
members, and a house of representatives of 72 mem- 
bers. They hold two sessions annually, the principal 
one at Newport, and an adjourned one at Providence 
in Oct. The executive power is vested in a governor 
and lieutenant-governor, both annually elected by 
the people. The secretary of State, attorney general, 
general treasurer, and State auditor, are also chosen 
by the people. The commissioner of public schools 
was for many years appointed by the governor and 
senate, but is now chosen by the board of education. 
The judicial power is vested in a supreme court, 
consisting of 1 chief -justice and 4 associate justices, 
which holds its sessions twice a year in each co., 
and has both appellate and original jurisdiction ; 
of courts of common pleas, presided over by one of 
the associate justices of the supreme court, also 
holding sessions twice a year in each co.; of justices' 
courts ; and of probate courts, the judges of which 
in Providence, Pawtucket, and East Providence, 
are elected by the general assembly. The State 
sends 2 members to congress, and has 4 electoral 
votes. The State debt in 1882 was .$2,521,500. The 
receipts into the treasury for the vear 1881 amounted 
to $919,792; expenditures, $794,685. The val. of tax- 
able prop. was$328,530,.559 (real estate, $243,658,190; 
personal, $84,872,369).— The oflicial designation of 
the State is "the State of R.I. and Providence Plan- 
tation." It was first settled by Roger Williams, who 
fled from religious persecution in Mass., in June, 
1636. He received a grant of territory from the Nar- 
ragansett Indians, March 24, 1638, and obtained a 
charter in 1644, which was renewed by Charles II. in 
1663, and remained in force till 1842 when— after an 
insurrection, in which a number of the people took 
up arms under Wilson Dorr, who was made prisoner, 
— a new constitution was agreed to, and became into 
force in 1843. R.I. suffered much from the Indian 
wars, until the defeat and death of Philip, king of 
the Wampanoags. It was seized by the English, Dec. 
8, 1776 ; attacke^d by the French and Americans with- 
out effect, Aug. 8, 1778 ; abandoned by the EngHsh 
in 1779 ; and occupied by the French, July 11, 1780. 
R.I. was the last of the States that gave in their 
adherence to the federal constitution, which was 
done in May, 1790. Vop. in 1790, 68,825 ; in 1830, 97,- 
199 ; in 1860, 174,620 ; in 1870, 217.353; in 1880, 276,- 
531 (of whom 133.030 males and 143,501 females ; 202,- 
538 natives and 73,993 of foreign birth ; 269,939 
whites, 6,488 colored, 27 Chinese, and 77 Indians).

Richmond, Va., a port of entry, the cap. and 
largest city of the State, also cap. of Henrico co., 
is pleasantly situated on the N. side of James R. here 
crossed by 5 bridges, immediately below the falls, at 
the head of tide-water, and 150 m. from its mouth, 
on the R.&P., the R.,F.&P., the C.&O., R.&D., 
and R.,Y.R.&C.RRs., 116 m. S.S.W. of Wash- 
ington by rail. Directly opposite to Richmond, 
and connected to it by two bridges, is Manches- 
ter, which may be regarded as a suburb of the 
city. From its peculiarly favorable situation, be- 
tween the upper and the lower country, Rich- 
mond is one of the most healthy cities in the 
U. States. Seldom, if ever, has it been visited with 
yellow fever, or any desolating epidemic. The city is 
divided into two unequal parts by a valley, through 
which passes the Shockoe Creek, to enter James R. 
It is chiefly built upon the more elevated grounds on 
either side of this depression, which present a beauti- 
ful variety of surface, and afford in many parts highly 
picturesque situations for dwellings and for public 
edifices, Shockoe Hill, on the W. part of the city, 
and Richmond Hill stand opposite to each other, 
with the creek between them ; and near the E. limit 
is Church Hill, which is also a commanding emi- 
nence. Over these elevated grounds, and the valley 
between them, declining towards the river, the 



streets and buildings of the city are spread. The 

streets mostly cross each other at right angles, and 
are most commonly 65 ft. iu width. Near the brow 
of Shockoe Hill which is an elevated plain, and a 
favorite place of residence, is Capitol Square, a 
beautiful public ground, containing abt. 9 acres, 
surrounded by a handsome iron railing, ornamented 
with gravel walks, and shaded with a variety of 
trees. In the centre stands the State house, which is 
remarkable for its commanding position, and its 
chaste yet beautiful proportions. It is a Graeco-Com- 
posite building, adorned with a portico of Ionic 
columns, the plan having been furnished by Thomas 
Jefferson after that of the Maison Carree at Nimes, 
in France. The view from the platform on the roof 
is extensive and beautiful. In an open hall, in the 
centre of the building within, is placed the celebrated 
marble statue of Washington, by Houdon, which 
was erected in 1788, during the lifetime of Washing- 
ton. On the E. Capitol Square are also the governors 
mansion, a bronze equestrian statue of Washington, 
a marble statue of Henry Clay, and Foley's statue of 
Gen. " Stonewall" Jackson. Richmond has a fine 
system of public free schools, including a high school. 
Private schools for both sexes are also numerous, in- 
cluding Richmond college for males and Richmond 
female institute for girls and young ladies. The 
medical college of Va. was established in 1851. The 
Roman Catholics have several excellent schools under 
their control, and for the higher education of the 
colored people there are the Richmo^id normal school 
and the Colver theological institute. The city has 52 
churches. Besides the State central lunatic asylum 
(for colored insane), and the city almshouse, there 
are a number of orphan asylums, homes, etc., sus- 
tained by the various denominations and private 
charity. The State penitentiary is also here. The city 
has an excellent police, and its efficient fire depart- 
ment has 5 steam engines. The city owns and oper- 
ates its own gas and water-works. The water power 
afforded by the falls is immense and easily utilized, 
but comparatively little of it has yet been taken ad- 
vantage of. The falls of James R. afford immense 
water power. Vessels drawing 16 ft. can ascend to 
within a mile of the centre of the city, at a place 
called Rockets, and those of 18 ft. draught to War- 
wick, 3 m. below. A canal has been built around the 
falls, and above them there is navigation for over 300 
m. Improvements are in progress in the river, which 
are expected to render the docks accessible by 
vessels drawing 19 ft. The James R. and Kanawha 
canal extend to Buchanan, 195 m. Regiilar lines of 
steamers run to Norfolk, Baltimore, Philadelphia, 
and New York. Richmond had in 1880 703 mauuf . es- 
tablishments, employing 16,932 hands ; and the sale 
of their products amounted to $24,705,083. The 
manuf. included iron-works, machine shops, foun- 
dries, sugar refineries, cigar factories, coach and 
wagon factories, furniture, sheetings and shirtings, 
and stoneware. The value of its foreign commerce 
for the year 1882 was as follows : imports, $125,607 ; 
exports, $1,685,311. The number of entrances was 28 
of 8,378 tons ; clearances, 81 of 37,651 tons. Number 
of vessels belonging to the district, 59 of 6,468. In 
1882 there were 4 nat., 5 State and 8 private banks, 40 
newspapers and periodicals, of which 5 were daily.— 
Richmond was founded in 1737, was incorporated in 
1742, and became the State cap. in 1779, at which 
period it was a small village. In 1861 it was made 
the capital of the Southern confederacy ; and one of ' 
the great aims of the federal authorities, throughout 
the war, was to reduce it into their possession. The 
obstinacy with which the confederates defended 
it was a proof of the great importance they at- 
tached to its retention. When General Lee evacu- 
ated Petersburg, April 3, 1865, the troops defend- 
ine; Richmond on the E. were withdrawn, and

to prevent the tobacco warehouses and public 
stores from falling into the hands of the federal 
forces, the buildings— together with the bridges 
over James R.— were fired. This resulted in the 
destruction of a large part of the business sec- 
tion of the city, the number of buildings destroyed 
having been estimated at 1,000, and the loss at $8,000,- 
000. With the cessation of hostilities, Richmond set 
to work to rebuild her blackened quarters, which she 
has now almost wholly accomplished, and the city is 
rapidly surpassing its former prosperity. Pop. in

L.E.&W., the R.&L.O., and the R.&P.RRs., 250 m. 
W.N.W. of Albany and 69 m. K by N. of Buffalo, 
by rail. The Erie Canal crosses the Genesee by an 
aqueduct of cut stone, built at an expense of S600,- 
000, and the Genesee Valley Canal, a tributary to the 
Erie, has its N. terminus here. The city is regularly laid 
out with wide and handsome streets, of which many 
are lined with shade trees. Within the city limits 
the Genesee undergoes a descent of 268 ft., falling in 
3 distinct cataracts within the distance of 2 ra. These 
cataracts evidently formed at one time a single cas- 
cade, but the different degrees of hardness of the 
several rocks have caused an unequal retrograde 
movement of the falls, until they have assumed their 
present position. At the Upper Falls, the water de- 
scends 96 ft. over the perpendicular face of Niagara 
limestone, underlaid by shale. Below it, the river 
flows between nearly perpendicular walls abt. \\ m. 
to the Middle Falls, where it has a descent of 25 ft. 
One hundred rods below, it descends 84 ft. at the 
Lower Falls, over a ledge of Medina sandstone to 
the level of Lake Ontario. The magnificent water- 
power thus afforded, located in the midst of one of 
the finest wheat growing regions in the world, in con- 
nection with the facilities of transportation afforded 
by the Erie Canal, Lake Ontario, and the railways, 
have given a powerful impulse to the prosperity of 
the place, and it has become one of the most impor- 
tant manuf. cities in the State. In earlier years, flour 
was the chief prod., and although now dwarfed by 
other branches, it is still of great importance, there 
being 18 mills, grinding annually, with 75 run of 
stone, 2,500,000 bush, of wheat. The manuf. interests 
of Rochester are both immense and diversified. 
Ready-made clothing is by far the largest manuf.; 
boots and shoes rank next. The other leading 
branches of industry are India rubber goods, iron 
bridges, flour barrels, breweries, tobacco factories, 
cigar making, carriages, furniture, optical instru- 
ments, perfumery, steam-engines, blast-furnaces, 
fruit-canning, glassware, bank locks, agricultural 
machinery, &c. The greatest nurseries of America 
are here. Thousands of acres, within five mile of the 
city, are devoted to the culture of fruit trees, and 
millions of trees are annually sent abroad to other 
States and foreign lands. The annual product of these 
nurseries is $2,000,000. The direct foreign commerce 
of Rochester is with Canada. The exports at the port 
of Genesee for the j'ear 1882, were valued at $362,- 
531 ; imports, $7.53,236. The city is becoming a great 
distributing centre for coal, which is loaded from 
railroads on the banks of the river directly into ves- 
sels, which convey it to all points on the lakes in 
yearly increasing quantities. The business centre of 
the fertile Genesee Valley, Rochester, exhibits a 
steady growth in business and wealth, which 
has never been seriously checked since its founda- 
tion. A magnificent sj'stem of water-works has 
recently been constructed at a cost of $3,250,000, 
with two sources of supply — one from the river, the 
water being forced through 8 m. of raains in the busi- 
ness centre by the Holly system, and is used for sup-

pressing fires and runnina: light machinery ; the other 
is from Hemlock Lake, 29 m. S. and 400 ft. above the 
city. There is a receiving reservoir of 83,000,000 gal- 
lons capacity, and a distributing reservoir of 45,000,000 
gallons, sending water through 60 m. of mains. The 
two systems can be connected in case of accident to 
either, and thus a certain supply is guaranteed. The 
pressure on the mains is such as to throw from the 
h^'drants a stream 130 ft. perpendiculai ly, and no city 
is more perfectly guarded from fire. At the corner of 
W. Main and State sts. are the Powers buildings, a 
tubular block of stores, built of stone, glass and iron, 
7 stories high. In the upper halls is a fine collection 
of paintings, and on the top is a tower from which 
may be obtained a fine view of the city and its sur- 
roundings. Near it is the Arcade, roofed over with 
glass, and containing numerous shops. Nearly oppo- 
site is the county court-house, in which is the athen- 
aeum with a library of 20,000 volumes. Back of the 
•court-house is the city hall, a handsome building of 
gray limestone, 138 by 80 ft., with a tower 175 ft. high. 
The most ornate business block in the city is the 
Rochester savings bank, cor. W. Main and Fitzhugh 
«ts. The finest church edifices are the First Baptist, 
the First Presbyterian, and St. Patrick's Cathedral 
(Roman Catholic). There are twelve spacious parks, 
and four elegant bridges over the Genesee. The uni- 
versity of the city of Rochester is located on a tract 
of twelve acres, just E. of the city limits. It was 
founded by the Baptists in 1850, and has a valuable 
library, and fine mineralogical cabinet. Connected 
with it is the Baptist theological seminary. This has 
a German department,and a library of 15,000 volumes. 
The Western house of refuge, a State reform school 
for vicious boys, is a large and imposing edifice, abt. 

1 m. N. of the centre of the city, containing usually 
abt. 400 inmates. There are two large hospitals, St. 
Mary's, under the management of the Sisters of 
Charity, the other a city institution. Mount Hope 
cemetery is located in Brighton, near the S. line of 
the city, on Mount Hope, a beautiful eminence over- 
looking the city. It is laid out in excellent taste, and 
is one of the finest rural cemeteries in llie country. 
In 1882, the city had 3 nat., 2 State, and 4 savings 
banks, 34 newspapers and periodicals, of which 6 
were daily. Rochester was first settled in 1810, and 
was incorporated as a city in 1834. Pop. in 1820,

Rocky mountains. Alongthe whole of the 
Western side of North America, from near the mouth 
jf the Mackenzie in the Arctic Ocean, and from Alas- 
ka on the Pacific shore, to the Isthmus of Nicaragua 
and Panama, that is, across 60° of lat. from N. to S., 
extends with a grand double curve the continuous 
length of the Rocky Mts., and others which prolong 
the line, having a position in North America similar 
to that of the Andes in South America, and shutting 
ofE, in some parts, a comparatively narrow portion of 
the continent, with the Pacific shore, from the gi'eat 



central plain. But several minor ranges, branching 
off or confronting the principal mountain ridge or 
backbone of North America, enclose large spaces of 
a table-land, traversed by the Columbia, the Fraser, 
and the Colorado Rs., with those which join them, 
and holding the Great Salt Lake of Utah in its cen- 
tral basin. The Cascade Mts. of Washington and 
Oregon, the Sierra Nevada of California, and the 
Coast Range prolonged through the Californian 
peninsula, have a general direction from N. to S. ; 
while the Wahsatch, the Humboldt, the Blue Mts., 
the Salmon R., and other ranges, stand rather across 
the table-land, or obliquely, from W. to E. It may 
be convenient to speak of the former series, regarded 
altogether, as the general Pacific Coast Range, which 
we also observe to be continued northward, with 
some intervals, beyond lat. 60° N., to the peninsula 
of Alaska, presenting summits of increased height, 
that of Mount St. Elias being above 17,000 ft., and 
Mount Fairweather nearly 15,000 ft. In the Cascade 
Range are Mount St. Helens, N, of the Columbia R., 
attaining an elevation of 15,750 ft.; Mount Hood and 
Mount Jefferson, abt. 15,500 ft. The Sierra Nevada, 
at its northern extremity^ where it forms an acute 
angle with the Coast Range, displays the lofty termi- 
nal peak of Mount Shasta, having an altitude of 14,- 
400 ft. The minor California Coast range nowhere 
rises to 4,000 ft. The main Cordillera or spine of 
Western North America, which in the British Domin- 
ion and in the U. States territory is called the Rocky 
Mts., but which takes the name of the Sierra Madre 
in Mexico, and in the isthmus, farther S., is split 
into two lower groups of a volcanic character, attains 
the height of 16,000 ft. in Mount Brown, and 15,700 
ft. in Mount Hooker, both near the 54th degree of 
lat., above the source of the Saskatchewan R.; but 
Fremont, in the Wind R. group, between Oregon 
and Nebraska, is 13,560 ft. high, and there are peaks 
of 10,000 ft. or 12,000 ft. in Utah and New Mexico. 
The highest mountains, however, in North America, 
excelling even Mount St. Elias, belong to a volcanic 
series which crosses the table-land of Southern Mexi- 
co from W. to E., and of which the culminating 
points are Popocateptl, 17,884 ft., and Orizaba, 17,373 
ft.; while Agua, in Guatemala, rises to 13,000 ft. 
Thus we may remark, at each extremity of the Cor- 
dillei'a, at its N. end, towards Alaska, and at its S. 
end, in Central America, it is encountered by a clus- 
ter of volcanoes. Mount St. Elias being one of this 
description, which exceed the height of the Rocky 
Mts. The spaces enclosed between the main trunk 
and branches of this immense system of mountains 
are several hundred miles wide, and their surface is 
elevated 5,000 ft. or 6,000 ft. above the sea-level, as 
in the Utah Lake basin, the Nevada territory, and 
the plateau of Anahuac, or Southern Mexico, which 
last has an elevation of 6,000 ft. to 8,000 ft., and has 
therefore, a temperate climate within the tropics. — 
In the U. States, the Pacific slope is drained by rivers 
which flow into the Pacific Ocean. It embraces the 
greater part of California, all of Oregon, and a part 
of Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyo- 
ming, New Mexico and Arizona. It forms three sep- 
arate divisions, the Northern, Southern and Western. 
The Northern division embraces the section N. of 
the great inland basin, between the Rocky Mts. and 
the Cascade Range. This entiie region is a table-land 
with an average elevation of from 2,500 to 3,000 ft. 
above the sea, and it is traversed by many broken 
mountain ridges. It is a region of general sterility, 
with the exception of some valleys where the soil is 
better constituted for fertility and the rains are more 
abundant ; but even these oases are better adapted 
for grazing than for agriculture. The Southern divis- 
ion includes the country lying between the Wahsatch 
and Rocky Mts., which is drained by rivers flowing 
into the Gulf of California. It is in general a table- 



ROC

land, with an average elevation of abt. 4,000 ft. above 
sea level, and it is traversed, like the northern divis- 
ion, by many broken mountain ranges. The Western 
division embraces the country between this chain 
and the Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada. This is a 
region 1,200 m. in length by 120 m. in breadth, con- 
taining an area of 144,000 sq. m. It is well watered 
and exceedingly fertile. In the S. part of this divis- 
ion, so extraordinary are the prolific influences of 
the soil and climate, that the grasses, trees, fruit, 
and grains attain a very remarkable development. 
The principal rivers of the Pacific slope are the Colo- 
rado, the Columbia, and the Sacramento. The Colo- 
rado is one of the most remarkable rivers in the 
world. Rising from numerous sources teu or twelve 
thousand feet above the level of the sea; on the W. 
side of the Rocky Mts., this great river descends into 
the plateau of the same name, through which it has 
worn its present wondrous channel, the walls of 
which sink down perpendicularly from the edge of 
the table-land for a distance of more 'than 300 m. 
The distance from the top of the bank to the surface 
of the river varies from 1,000 to 6,000 ft. The most 
remarkable part of its course is the Big Canon, 
which is in the N.W. corner of Arizona, and begins 
at the mouth of the Diamond R., abt. 35 m. from 
Yamais Village. At this point its walls have an alti- 
tude of 3,000 ft., but a few miles farther eastward 
the table-land rises to the altitude of more than 7,000 
ft. above the sea, and the vast clifEs of the caiion 
tower to the height of more than a mile above the 
stream. The Columbia has its soui'ce in the Rocky 
Mts., and plunging from these lofty ranges in cata- 
racts and rapids through caiions more than 1,000 ft. 
in height enters the Pacific after a course of 1,200 
m. The passage of the Columbia R. through the 
Cascade Mts., which is known as " The Cascades," 
is a scene of great grandeur and beauty. The Sacra- 
mento and its tributary, the San Joaquin, drain one 
of the richest countries in the world, viz., the famous 
gold-producing valleys of California. The high ranges 
of Colorado extend N. into Wyoming, but they are 
all of much less altitude than in Colorado. The Lara- 
mie Range has an elevation of abt. 9,000 ft. It is 
crossed by the U.P.RR. at Sherman, 8,269 ft. The 
Medicine Bow Range, which is an offshoot from the 
Front Range, has abt. the same elevation as the Lara- 
mie Range. Between them lie the beautiful Plains of 
Laramie. The Park Range is the third and last of the 
series. Beyond these, the country consists of a series 
of high, cold, desert plateaux. The first swell in this 
plateau, beyond the North Platte, separates the waters 
of the Atlantic from those of the Pacific, the Platte 
R. from the Green. Thence the country descends to 
the Green R. basin, the arid valley upon which that 
fugitive name " Great American Desert" has finally 
been bestowed, and where it will probably remain. A 
second rise of the plateau separates the waters of the 
Pacific from those of the Great Basin, the Green R. 
from the Bear. These divides are broad and flat, the 
water partings are ill defined, and thej' contain 
numerous salt lakes without outlets, and streams 
which flow nowhere. The great system of ranges 
known as the Rocky Mts. is composed of two sections, 
separated by this great extent of plateaux, stretching 
N.W. and S.E. for 200 m. The trans-continental 
traveler on the U.P.RR., crosses this great depres- 
sion between the ranges, and sees little or nothing 
of the Rocky Mts. Toward the N. part of Wyoming, 
the mountain system suddenly starts again into being, 
with a great breadth of alternate mountain and val- 
ley. On the E., the Big Horn Range rises from the 
plains to a height of 12,000 ft. above the sea-level. 
Then follow the Big Horn basin and the valley of 
Wind R., upon which frown the lofty, snow-capped 
peaks of the Wind R. Range, with their glaciers and 
eternal snow, and the rugged, volcanic peaks of the 



Yellowstone Range. W. of the former lies the upper 
part of the Green R. basin, at whose head are the 
Gros Ventre and other mountains and hills abt. the 
head of the Snake R. Here the country is all on edge. 
There is but little valley country. Excepting Jack- 
son's Hole, a valley at the base of the Tetons, the 
valleys are mere gorges and canons. Beyond the 
Yellowstone Range, which marks roughly the eastern 
boundary of the Yellowstone Park (which see), the 
country is mainly a high plateau, abt. 8,000 ft. above 
sea-level, densely timbered and abundantly watered. 
— The Great Inland basin, sometimes called " Fre- 
mont's Basin," embraces nearly all of Nevada and 
parts of Oregon, California, Idaho and Utah. This 
singular region is a plateau with an average elevation 
of 5,000 ft. above the level of the sea, surrounded by 
rugged mountains. It is a dreary, desolate country, 
abounding in salt lakes and alkaline springs, and it 
has a system of lakes and rivers of its own, having 
no connection with the ocean. Great Salt Lake is 
almost saturated with salt, the amount of saline mat- 
ter being so large that no living thing can exist in it. 
Utah Lake, a beautiful sheet of pure fresh water, 
communicates with Great Salt Lake through the 
river Jordan. The longest river in the Great Inland 
Basin is the Humboldt R., which empties into Hum- 
boldt Lake, called its "sink," because there is no 
outlet. This river is 350 m. long, but is in no place 
larger than a mill-stream. — The basin of the Red R. 
of the N. embraces a part of Minnesota and Dakota. 
The Missouri R. cuts Dakota into nearly equal parts. 
E. of the river the country consists mainly of ele- 
vated table-lands, the Coteaus du Missouri et des 
Prairies. The former, which is the most western, 
comes down in a longue tongue from the British pos- 
sessions, occupying the space between the Missouri 
and the James Rs. On the N., it is slightly above 2,000 
ft. above the sea, with a gradual descent southward. 
Its surface is somewhat uneven and broken, with 
numerous "sinks" and ponds of alkaline water. 
Vegetation is scanty ; and of timber there is practi- 
callj' none. The other plateau lies E. of the James 
R., extending over into Western Minnesota. Its ele- 
vation is slightly less than that of the Missouri 
Coteau ; but its surface resembles very closely that 
of the latter in Its sinks and alkaline lakes. In 
general, these coteaus are limited sharply by lines of 
bluffs. In the N.E., the Coteau des Prairies breaks 
down to the valley of the Red R. of the North, so 
called to distinguish it from the Red R. of Louisiana. 
This valley has become, of late, one of the greatest 
wheat-producing regions of the N.W. Southward 
the coteau sinks gradually to the fertile country near 
the Missouri. W. of that river, the country as a whole 
assumes a more forbidding aspect. On the lower 
course of the Little Missouri and the Lower Yellow- 
stone, much of the country is what is known as " Bad 
Lands." This is the worst section. Aside from it, the 
whole region resembles the rest of the Great Plains, of 
which it forms a part. The surface is level or gently 
rolling. The vegetation is mainly bunch grass. As 
we progress southeastward, however, beyond the 
Cheyenne, we detect a marked amelioration in the 
vegetation, consequent upon reaching a less arid 
climate. The Niobrara has considerable large timber 
along its course ; and the grasses grow much more 
luxuriantly in this neighborhood. The Black Hills, 
the only group of mountains in Dakota, lie within, 
and closely embraced by the two forks of the 
Cheyenne R. This group has an elUptic shape, its 
longer axis lying N.W. and S.E. Its highest peaks 
range between "6,000 and 7,000 ft. above sea-level. 
Its core is of granite, around which the sedimentary 
formations are arranged in concentric ellipses, form- 
ing long and beautifully curved "hogbacks," be- 
tween which are beautiful valleys carpeted with lux- 
uriant grasses and gay with flowers. For many years

it had been a current tradition that there was gold 
in the Black Hills ; but this report did not assume 
tangible form until 1874, when some miners con- 
nected with Gen. Custer's expedition found gold in 
placers, in paying quantities. The U. States army 
attempted to stop the rush that ensued, upon the 
ground that the hills were a part of the Sioux reser- 
vation ; and for a time they succeeded in keeping 
the miners off. This attempt was soon abandoned, 
and the hills given over to the miners. The first dis- 
coveries of gold wei'e in placers, which were speedily 
worked out. Then followed, in due course, the dis- 
covery of the sources of the placers, which are now 
yielding largely and steadily. The mines of the Black 
Hills produce gold only. In form the deposits are 
true fissure veins. The ore is native gold, in quartz, 
and is, in most mines, of a very low grade. This is 
compensated for by the great breadth of the veins 
and the fact that the ore can be worked in stamp 
mills, and does not require smelting. Mining the ore 
is very cheap thus far, as few mines have got to any 
great depth below the surface, and it is simply a 
question of quarrying. The total production of this 
section in 1880 was $4,123,081.

Saconda's'a River, A. Y., rises ni several 
small lakes in Hamilton co., of which the largest are 
Piseco, Round, and Pleasant Lakes. The river then 
flows in a winding E. direction through the N.E. cor-

the V. of Luzerne, Saratoga co. 

Saco Rivei', J^.B. and 3Ie., is one of the larg- 
est in New England, yet, being much broken in its 
course by falls,' is not navigable to any considerable 
extent. It rises in the White Mts., in Coos co., N.H., 
and formed by the junction of 3 principal branches 
at Bartlett, Carroll co. It flows S.E. until it enters 
Me., then makes an abrupt turn N. and again pur- 
sues a S.E. direction through that State to the ocean 
below Saco. Total length, abt. 160 m. The main 
branch passes through the noted Notch of the White 
Mts. Its falls afford valuable water-power. The prin- 
cipal of them are the Great Falls, at Hiram, 72 ft.; 
Steep Falls, at Limingtou,20 ft.; Salmon Falls, at Hol- 
lis and Buxton, 30 ft.; and Saco Palls, 42 ft. This last 
fall is abt. 4 m. from the mouth of the river, and is at 
the head of tide water. The rivei has an ordinary rise 
in the spring of from 6 to 15 ft., but it has frequently

Sacrainen'to, Cal., a river rises in Lassen co., 
flows W., then S., and empties into Saisun Bay on the 
line between Contra Costa and Solano cos., after a 
total course of abt. 500 m. Its upper portion is called 
Pitt R., the name Sacramento being often given to a 
comparatively small branch which rises S. of Mount 
Shasta. The principal branches are Feather, Ameri- 
can and Mokelumne Rs. Its broad and fertile valley 
is a northward continuation of that of the San Joa- 
quin. The stream is navigable from its mouth some 
50 m. and by small vessels to Red Bluflfs, 330 m. in 
good stages of water. 

— a central co., bordering N. on American R., S. on 
Calaveras and San Joaquin Rs., and W. on the Sacra- 
mento, and intersected by the Mokelumne and Cos- 
umnes Rs.; area, 1,000 sq. m. It has a diversified sur- 
face, nearly level in the W. and hilly toward the E., 
and the soil is generally fertile. The E. portion con- 
tains deposits of gold. The chief prod, in 1880 were 
804,631 bush, of wheat, 650,448 of barley, 149,550 of 
corn, and 22,745 of oats ; wool, butter, hops, pota- 
toes, wiue, and cheese are also largely produced.

— a city<$>, cap. of the State, and also of the above co., 
the second city in the State in pop. and importance, 
on C.P. andS.&P.RRs.,90 m. E.N.E. San Francisco. 
It is situated in an extensive and lovely plain on the 
E. bank of the Sacramento R., here spanned by a flue 
bridge, immediately S. of the mouth of the American 
R., and is one of the handsomest cities W. of the 
Rocky Mts. The streets are wide and straight, and 
cross each other at right angles. Those running E. 
and W. are named by the letters of the alphabet ; 
those crossing them N. and S. are numbered. The 
shops and stores are mostly of brick, the dwellings 
mostly of wood and surrounded by gardens. Shade 
trees are abundant. The streets in the business por- 
tion are paved with Nicolson pavement and cobble- 
stones. The city is supplied with gas, and water is 
pumped up from the Sacramento R. and distiibuted 
through the streets in pipes. The climate is semi- 
tropical, and a luxuriant growth of flowers and shrubs 
may be seen in the open air at all times of the year. 
The only important public building is the State capi- 
tol, one of the finest structures of the kind in the 
U. States. It is situated almost in the heart of the 
city, and the grounds cover 18 blocks, beautifully 
laid out with trees, shrubs, and flowers. Steamers run 
to San Francisco, Marysville, and various points on 
the Sacramento R. There are various factories. The 
machine, repair and car shops of the C.P.RR. employ 
from 1,000 to 1,500 hands. Sacramento has 1 nat. and 
3 other banks, 3 daily and 6 wkly papers, 17 public 
schools, a female college, a normal school, a Roman 
Catholic college, a conventual school, under the

vate schools. The State library in the capitol has more 
than 35,000 volumes, and the Sacramento library, in 
a fine building belonging to the association, abt. 7,- 
000. The State agricultural society has ample accom- 
modations for the exhibition of stock and one of the 
finest race courses in the world. It holds a fair an- 
nually about the middle of September. Sacramento 
was first settled in 1839, and was then called New 
Helvetia ; it became cap. of the State in 1854, and 
was incorporated as a city in 1863. Pop. 21,420.

of entry, on the Atlantic coast, and cap. of St. John's 
CO., on St.J.&L.E.RR,, 33 m. S.S.E. Janesville. The 
city stands back abt. 3 m. from the coast on the side 
of a peninsula, and is shielded from the force of the 
main ocean by Anastasia Island, which lies before it, 
but is so low and narrow as not to intercept the sea 
breezes. Ou the N. end of that island is a revolving 
light, lat. 39° 53' N., Ion. 91° 16' W. The site of St. 
Augustine is itself low, being not over 12 ft. above 
thelevelof the ocean ; and the soil is rich in calcar- 
eous and vegetable deposits. The climate here is reck- 
oned equally mild and grateful with that of Italy or 
the S. of France. There are only one or two months 
in the year when frosts are ever experienced, and the 
winters are sometimes passed entirely without them. 
In the summer, too, the alternation of sea and laud 
breezes both tempers the heats by day and renders 
the nights generally cool and pleasant. This is, there- 
fore a favorite resort for invalids seeking to avoid the 
more variable and rugged climate of the north. The 
city lies in the form of a parallelogram, 1 m. long and 
I m. wide, fronting E. on Matanzas Sound, which 
spreads J m. before it, forming a harbor, protected by 
Anastasia Island, of large capacity and of perfect se- 
curity. Not more than oue-half the extent of the city 
is compactly built, and much of this has yet an anti- 
quated appearance. St. Augustine, indeed, is the 
oldest city in the U. States, having been settled by 
the Spaniards 43 years earlier than Jamestown, in 
Virginia, by the English. The streets are generally 
very narrow, some not more than 10 ft. wide, and the 
principal ones not more than 15 to 18 ft. in width, 
and sometimes very crooked. The houses in the com- 
pact part of the city, are ou a line with the street, and 
are generally two stories high, with the second story 
projecting over the first. Until within a few years the 
only material used iu building was the coquina rock, 
a conglomerate of small sea shells, quarried ou An- 
astasia Island and dried hard in the sun. In the E. 
part is a tine large square, opening from the sound, 
on three sides of which are the court-house, a splen- 
did Roman Catholic Church, an Episcopal Church, a 
neat Gothic edifice, and several elegant residences. 
The barracks are among the finest and most complete 
in the couutr}\ The old Spanish Castle of St. Mark, 
now Fort Marion, is quite an object of curiosity. It 
is of coquina, is well preserved, aud will accomodate 
a garrison of 1,000 men. The city is embosomed iu 
orange, lemon, olive, aud palm trees, which grow 
here in great perfection, and which give to the place 
a rural rather than a commercial appearance. The 
chief business is the manuf. of " palmetto straw" 
work, which is largely shipped to the north. Two 
lines of sailing packets run to New York. Pop.2,393.

St. John, Me., a river, which rises, under the 
name of the S.W. branch, in the highlands that sepa- 
rate Me. from Quebec, Canada, at the Metjarmette 
portage. It is for nearly 40 m. the boundary between 
the U. States and Canada. It then traverses for 112 
m. the wilds of Northern Me. and is known as the 
56 



Walloostook Main, or St. John. Some 150 m. below 
its or^in it joins with the St. Francis, and changes 
its N.E to a more E. course. Below the mouth of the 
St. Francis it is the N. boundary of Me. for abt. 75 
m. Below this part of its course it is wholly in Cana- 
dian territory; shortly after entering which its Grand 
Falls occur, 225 m. above its mouth. The river here 
falls 75 ft. perpendicularly. From its mouth at St. 
John, New Brunswick, it is navigable by large steam- 
ers for 80 m. to Fredericton, and at high water to 
Woodstock, 145 m. and by small steamboats, at good 
stages of water, even as high as the Grand Falls, 
above which it is again navigable some 40 m. The 
total length of the river is 5.50 m. Its navigation is 
free to U. States citizens by the Ashburton. Treaty.

St. Hja^vreBiee, a great river forming the out-

the U. States and Canada. It may be considei-ed as 
descending from Lake Superior, and passing through 
Lakes Huron, Erie, and Ontario, to tlie Gulf of St. 
Lawrence, a distance of 2,000 m.; draining an area, 
of over 500,000 sq. m. in extent. Its course through 
the centre of these lakes and below, until it crosses 



ST. L 



883 



ST. L 



45° N. lat., forms the boundary between the U. States 
and Canada. After crossing 45° lat., the course of this 
majestic river is wholly within the territory of Can- 
ada. In the upper part of its course it loses its char- 
acter as a river, when passing through the lakes ; and 
even when it passes from lake to lake, connecting 
and bearing along their waters, it is known by differ ■ 
ent names in different sections ; as the St. Mary's be- 
tween Superior and Huron ; the St. Clair and the De- 
troit between Huron and Erie, having the small lake 
St. Clair in the intermediate course ; and the Niagara 
between Erie and Ontario. From Lake Ontario to 
Montreal it is sometimes called the Iroquois, though 
it is more commonly known as the St. Lawrence 
proper, from the outlet of Lake Ontario to its mouth. 
Below Montreal the river varies in breadth from J m. 
to 3 m. and it passes through the Lake St. Peter, 50 
m. below Montreal, which is from 13 to 15 m. wide. 
Below Quebec the river increases rapidly in width, 
until it enters the gulf by a mouth nearly 100 m. 
across. Its average fall is about six inches to the 
mile, although this is very unequally distributed, on 
account of the numerous rapids, and one stupendous 
cataract in its course. It receives many tributaries, 
the most important of which, on the S. side, is the 
Richelieu, which is the outlet of Lake Champlain, 
entering at the head of Lake St. Peter ; and, on the 
N. the Saguenay, 140 m. below Quebec ; and the Ot- 
tawa, or Grand R. which enters it a little above Mon- 
treal. The St. Lawrence, with the chain of lakes 
which empty their waters through its channel into 
the N. Atlantic, constitutes one of the great commer- 
cial thoroughfares of the North American continent. 
It is navigable by sea-going vessels to Montreal. 
Above that city its navigation is impeded by rapids, 
of which the Cedar and Lachine are the most consid- 
erable. The inclination of these rapids is so regular, 
that steamboats drawing 7 ft. of water can descend 
the river safely ; and for the purpose of obviating 
the difliculty of ascent (Lake Ontario being 231 ft. 
above the ocean level according to former measure- 
ments, and according to J. T. Gardner's recent calcu- 
lations several feet higher), seven different canals 
have been constructed, of an aggregate length of 41 
m. which will admit the passage of vessels of 1,000 
tons. A canal has also been constructed from Lake 
Ontario to Lake Erie, called the Welland Canal, 28 
m. in length, and having capacity to pass a vessel of 
500 tons burden. There is also a ship canal of large 
size around the falls of St. Mary, between Lake Hu- 
ron and Lake Superior. A vessel of 500 tons may load 
from the mouth of the St. Louis liver at Duluth, 
Minn., or from Chicago, and, without breaking bulk, 
pass down the St. Lawrence to any port in the world.

court-house, the new custom house and post-office, 
the marine hospital, insane asylum, mercantile library 
hall, polytechnic institute, St. Louis life insurance 
company's building, and others. The chamber of 
commerce in 8d street, is the great commercial mart 
of the city, and is claimed to be the finest edifice of 
the kind in the country. Christ church (Episcopal), 
and the Cathedral (Roman Catholic), are the most 
remarkable church edifices in the city. The public 
squares and parks embrace in the aggregate an area 
of abt. 2,000 acres. Shaw's garden, the largest of the 
parks, is 330 acres in area, and includes an herb and 
flower garden of 10 acres, a fruit garden of 6 acres, 
and an arboretum of 25 acres. The citv of East St.

Louis, on the opposite bank of the river, is connected 
with St. Louis by the great St. Louis Bridge, which 
was completed in 1874 and is regarded as one of the 
greatest triumphs of American engineering. It con- 
sists of three spans resting on 4 piers. The centre 
span is .520 ft. and the side ones are each 500 ft. in 
the clear. The rise of the arches is 60. ft. The bridge 
is built in 2 stories ; the lower one containing a double 
railroad car track. It passes over a viaduct of 5 arches 
into Washington ave. where the lower roadway 
runs into a tunnel 4,800 ft. long, which passes under 
a large part of the city, terminating near 11th street. 
The total cost of bridge and tunnel was over 
$10,000,000. There are 16 railroads centering in St. 
Louis, and the city has also water communications 
with a vast extent of country. Prior to 1850 St. 
Louis had no railways and was dependent on the 
rivers solely for her trade with the outside world. 
And whilst the number of steamers on the Mississippi 
and principal tributaries has gradually been decreas- 
ing, it must not be concluded that the river transpor- 
tation business has had its day. The changes which 
time has wrought may have lessened the number of 
mammoth steamers, but commerce finds herself 
greatly benefited with the more modern methods of 
handling and transporting grain, by means of the 
great barge system, so successfully introduced a few 
years ago. Indeed, the barge system promises at no 
distant date to revolutionize the grain trade of the 
West. The river route not only furnishes remarkably 
low rates, but it must act as a check on the railways, 
and prevent exorbitant freight rates to the eastern 
seaboard. For the year 1882, 2,537 steamboats and 
1,310 barges arrived with 802,080 tons of freight, and 
769,905 tons of freight were shipped in 2,487 steam- 
boats. Besides 271,490 tons of lumber and logs were 
received by rafts from the Upper Mississippi and 
Missouri Rs. The freight received by rail during the 
same year was 6,900,622 tons. The following statement 
shows the comparative business in leading articles at 
St. Louis for 1882.

year, $17,349,905 ; material used, $70,720,064 ; product 
$108,909,217. Flour and grist milling was then, and 
continues to be the greatest industry of St. Louis, 
which is in this respect the first city in the Union. 
There were 24 mills, employing 712 hands; products, 
$13,750,628. The meat packing industry numbered 
32 establishments, employing 584 hands ; capital

saddlery, tobacco, &c. — St. Louis is a port of delivery 
in the customs district of New Orleans, and a port of 
entry under the act of 1870 permitting the ship- 
ment of foreign goods in bond to interior ports 
from the port of first delivei-y. The value of direct 
importations under this act in 1882 was $1,961,917. 
St. Louis had, in 1882, 6 nat. , 13 State, 5 savings banks, 
and 14 banking houses. The aggregate of clearings 
and balances at the clearing-house was $1,001,614,263. 
— The city is divided into 12 wards. The police force 
consists of abt. 475 men. The fire department com- 
prises 18 engines, 14 hose, and 3 hook and ladder 
companies; the number of men is 150. The water sup- 
ply is raised from the Mississippi at Bissell's Point, and 
stored in a reservoir on Compton Hill, 26 ft. above 
the highest street grade. The assessed val. of tax- 
able prop, in 1882 was $191,948,450. The building 
permits issued in that year were 2,361 ; cost $5,010,- 
554. — The public school system of St. Louis including 
1 normal and 6 high schools, is one of the best in the 
country, and the school-houses, 56 in number, are 
exceptionally fine. Among the higher educational 
establishments are the O'Fallon polj'technic institute, 
the Washington university, the St. Louis university, 
the college of the christian brothers, the St. Patrick 
academy (the last three Roman Catholic), the St. 
Louis medical college, the Missouri medical college, 
and the St. Louis law school. Scientific and lit- 
erary associations are the academy of sciences, 
the engineer club, the historical society, the 
institute of architects, the agricultural and mechan- 
ical society, the medical society, the union literary 
association, the university club and the art society. 
There were, in 1882, 107 newspapers and periodicals, 
9 of which were daily. — A fur trading-post was es- 
tablished by the French, Feb. 15, 1764, where the 
city now stands, and named St. Louis. In 1822 St. 
Louis was incorporated as a city. Pop. in 1799, 925 ;

the second and third terraces which widen into level 
semi-circular plains, the last, abt. 90 ft. above the 
river, being underlaid with a stratum of blue lime- 
stone from 12 to 20 ft. thick, of which many of the 
buildings are constructed. St. Paul is the centre of

Salem, 3/a.s.s., a city<t> and port of entry, and one 
of the caps, of Essex co., on B.,L.&C. and E.RRs., 
16 m. N.E. Boston. It is nearly surrounded by water, 
being situated between 3 inlets of the sea, called the 
North and South Rs. To the main and now inhabited 
part of the town is attached a peninsula portion of 
laud, called the Neck. This was the first inhabited, 
and is now occupied as the Almshouse Farm. Salem 
was formerly noted as one of the leading commercial 
cities of America, cari-ying on more trade with the 
East Indies at one period than all other American 
ports combined. Though its harbor is safe and con- 
venient, it is not of sufficient depth for vessels of the 
largest class, and this first led to the withdrawal of its 
commerce to Boston and New York. It has now very 
little foreign commerce, but a large coasting trade, 
and it is a point of shipment for large quaritities of 
coal landed here in vessels and sent to the interior by 
rail. Manuf. is a prominent interest, and is increas- 
ing. The leading industry is the manuf. of leather, 
but in addition there are a successful cotton company, 
2 lead-mills, 1 or 2 iute-faetories, 7 nat. and 1 other 
bank, 1 daily, 3 semi-wkly, 4 wkly, and 3 monthly 
papers, and a large number of machine-shops and 
small industries. It is an important centre of retail 
trade. Salem has many interesting old houses, and 
its general appearance is attractive. It is divided into 
6 wards, and has an eflScient police force and a good 
fire department. The streets are lighted with gas, 
and water is supplied by an aqueduct from Wenham 
Lake, 4 m. distant. Besides the almshouse and small- 
pox hospital, there are an orphan asylum, a dispen- 
sary, a reform school for boys, and several charitable 
societies. There are a high school, five grammar and 
twelve primary schools, two evening schools, two 
drawing schools, and a special school for factory 
operatives and others unable to pursue the regular 
course. One of the State normal schools (for females) 
is here. Among the principal public institutions is 
the East India marine society, organized in 1799, and 
formed of those who, as captains or supercargoes, 
have doubled Cape Horn or the cape of Good Hope. 
The museum of this society is one of the most inter- 
e.sting and valuable in the country.The Essex institute, 
organized in 1848, besides its extensive cabinet of natu- 
ral history, has a library of 30,000 volumes, a large col- 
lection of portraits, and many historical and other 
relics. The Salem Athenasum, formed in 1810, has a 
library of 15,500 volumes. The office of the permanent 
secretary of the American association for the advance- 
ment of science, organized in 1848, is in the East India 
marine hall, and contains a small and select scientific 
library. The charitable mechanical association, or- 
ganized in 1817, has a library of 4,000 volumes. Other 
important associations are the marine society, insti- 
tuted in 1766; the lyceum, in 1830; the young men's 
union in 1855 ; and the young men's Christian associa- 
tion, in 1858. Salem is after Plymouth the oldest town 
in Mass. It was settled in 1628, and became a city in 
1836. In 1693 the famous witchcraft delusion made its 
appearance here, and 19 persons from this and ad- 
jacent towns were executed on the eminence now 
known as Gallows Hill. Pop. 27,598.

San Antonio was the cap. of Texas under the Spanish 
and Mexican governments, and one of the oldest 
settlements in the State. It consists of 3 parts ; the 
old town, or San Antonio proper, between the two 
streams; Alamo, E. of the San Antonio; and Chihua- 
hua, W. of the San Pedro. The old town is the busi- 
ness quarter, and has in great part lost its Mexican 
character, having been almost entirely rebuilt since 
1860. Chihuahua is almost exclusively Mexican in 
character and population. The houses are one story 
high, partly built of stone and partly of upright logs 
with cane roofs. Alamo, is the largest quarter of the 
city, is considerably higher than the other two, and 
is mostly inhabited by Germans. The laud imme- 
diately around the city is level. A mile distant rises a 
chain of limestone hills, which furnish an excellent 
building material. San Antonio is the chief city of W. 
Texas, and has an extensive trade. Its most impor- 
tant manufactories are 3 large flouring mills, a soap 
and candle factory, a wood and stone cutting estab- 
lishment, 2 ice factories, a meat extract factory, and 
3 breweries. It has a nat. and 4 other banks. It is di- 
vided into four wards, and has a good fire depart- 
ment. There are a hospital and a female orphan asy- 
lum, under the control of the Roman Catholics, a 
Roman Catholic college and convent, two German- 
American schools, 5 free public schools, 10 churches, 
and 4 daily and 3 wkly papers. San Antonio was 
founded in 1714 by the Spaniards, and was incorpo- 
rated as a city in 1873. Pop. in 1870, 12,256 ; in 1880, 
20,561.

greater part of the co., composing the N. and E. por- 
tions, consists of dry desert valleys and volcanic 
mountains. This region has little vegetation, and is 
interspersed with hot springs and deposits of sulphur 
and soda. There are some streams that lose them- 
selves in "sinks." Death valley, in which the Amar- 
goza R. disappears, is from 100 to 250 ft. below the 
level of the sea, is destitute of good water, and is ex- 
tremely hot in summer. Gold and silver are found in 
the Sierra Nevada Mts. in the N. In the S.W. part 
of the county, here crossed by the Coast range, are 
extensive valleys having a delightful climate and a

of the Coast range cross it from N. to S. dividing it 
into three parts differing much in climate, soil, and 
topography. The division along the coast is abt. 25 m. 
wide, and consists largely of level plains or gently 
sloping valleys, watered by San Bernardo, San Diego, 
and other rivers; the greater portion is suitable for 
agriculture and grazing. The central or mountain di- 
vision is very irregular in outline, averaging 40 m. in 
width. Both ranges are covered with forests of oak, ce- 
dar, pine, and fli', and contain gold, silver, copper, and 
other minerals. Gold is extensively mined. There 
are a number of broad valleys or tablelands, having 
a delightful climate and a fertile soil. They produce 
grapes, oranges, wheat, barley, &c. The E. division 
is occupied by the Colorado desert, which is for 
the most part treeless and barren, and part of it 
is below the level of the sea. It is very diy and hot, 
and contains many natural curiosities, among which 
is a lake of boiling mud abt. half a mile long by 500

San Francis'co, Cal., the finest and largest 
bay on the Pacific coast, between lat. 37° 48' and 88° 
10' N. and Ion. 122° and 122° 30' W., is connected 
with the Pacific Ocean by a strait 1 m. wide called the 
Golden Gate. It extends S.S.W. abt. 40 m., being 
separated from the Pacific by a peninsula from 6 to 
15 m. wide, on the N. extremity of the S. arm of 
which is the city of San Francisco. The bay opposite 
the city is abt. 7 m. wide, and in its widest part 12 m. 
The shores of the Golden Gate are bold and rocky, 
rising on the N. in some places nearly 2,000 ft. while 
on the S. the hills are from 300 to 400 ft. high, many 
of them being covered with shifting white sand. On 
the bar there is 30 ft. of water at low tide ; within 
there is a much greater depth and good anchorage. 
The principal islands are Alcatraz, in the middle of 
the channel, abt. 4 m. from the entrance ; Angel, 
the largest, containing 800 acres, and Yerba Buena, 
or Goat Island, opposite the city. There is a fortification 
on Alcatraz Island, and another at Fort Point on the 
S. side of the Golden Gate. The bay is connected on 
the N. by a strait 3 m. wide, with San Pablo Bay, 
which is nearly round and abt. 10 m. in diameter, and 
this receives from the E. through Carquinez Strait 
(1 m. wide) the waters of Suicum Bay, which is abt. 
8 m. long from E. to W., and 4 m. wide; San Pablo 
and Suicum Bays are deep, but Carquinez Strait has 
only 16 ft. of water at low tide. At the head of San 
Pablo Bay is Napa, or Mare Island, in which is a U. 
States navy yard. 

— the chiel city and seaport of California and of the 
Western coast of North America, and the 9th city of 
the U. States in point of pop., designated in law as 
" thfi city and county of San Francisco," the func- 
tions of city and co. government, usually separated, 
being here consolidated. It is situated in lat. 37" 48' 
26.6'^ N. , Ion. 122° 24' 39.6' ' W. , on the end of a penin- 
sula there, 6 m. wide and 20 m. long, separating the 
S, arm of the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific 
Ocean. The city stands on the E. or inner slope of 
the peninsula. Its area is 42 sq. m. — sandy, dusty, 
rocky in different parts, hardly green anywhere. The 
harbor is part of a bay 50 m. long and 5 m. wide, has 
an entrance 35 ft. deep at low tide and 1 m. wide, 
and on the anchorage along the city front there 
is abundant room, with excellent holding ground 
and a depth of 40 ft., which increases to 400 ft. in 
the narrowest part of the Golden Gate, as the beau- 
tiful entrance to the bay is styled. San Francisco is 
connected by ferry-boat with Oakland, a beautiful 
city on the E. side of the bay, with groves and 



gardens, beautiful streets, and delightful climate, 
which is a favorite residence of persons doing busi- 
ness in the metropolis. The city is regularly laid out, 
though not on a uniform plan. The streets are broad, 
and cross each other at right angles. The business 
streets are generally paved with Belgian blocks or 
cobble stones, and most of tne residence streets are 
planked. The leading thoroughfare is Alontgomery 
St., which is broad and lined with handsome build- 
ings. At its N. end it extends to the top of a hill, 
which is so precipitous that carriages can not ascend 
it. A flight of steps enables pedestrians to mount 
with comparative ease ; and from the top there is a 
fine view over the city and bay. Kearney St. and 
Market St. are the fashionable promenade*, and con- 
tain some of the priucipal retail shops. In California 
St. the principal banks and brokers and insurance 
offices are located. The importers and jobbers are in 
Front, Sansome, and Battery Sts. The " Chinese quar- 
ter," comprises portions of Sacramento, Commercial, 
Dupont, Pacific, and Jackson Sts. The characteristics 
of San Francisco in 1882 have been thus given by Mr. 
C. S. Gleed : " What Paris is to France, San Fran- 
cisco is to the Pacific coast of the U. States ; and the 
similarity does not end in the mere matter of size. 
The character of San Francisco as a city is like that of 
Paris. San Francisco is a gay city, the metropolis of 
a light-hearted people. It is a condensation of Cali- 
fornia. It is a city ofsunshine, flowers, music, poetry, 
painting, literature, business activity and swift social 
currents — swift, if not deep. Two hundred and fifty 
thousand people, or thereabouts, are gathered to- 
gether on the extremity of a tumulus, sandy, wave- 
washed point of land. The city on its many hills is 
like Rome, only more so ; in its water-beleaguered 
condition is like Venice, only not quite so much so ; 
in its Chinese quarter is like Pekin or Hong Kong ; 
in its fog malady for half the j'car is like London ; 
in its love for music, art and literature is like Boston; 
in its business mania is like New York or Chicago. 
Crossing the bay from Oakland the stranger lands 
in San Francisco, and at once realizes that he is a 
stranger. The street Cars run without visible means 
of support ; up hill and down they go with all the 
intelligence, steadiness and quiet of "the oldest in- 
habitants," the secret of their activity being a noise- 
less underground cable. The hotels, from the Palace 
and the Baldwin down to the What-cheer house are 
unusual and unprecedented. The Palace is a hollow 
square, seven stories high, covered with glass, hav- 
ing a conservatory or hanging garden on the top 
floor, and a band of music in the rotunda. Count 
Smith, chief clerk, is as remarkable as any other part 
of the institution. He knows everybody, and forgets 
nothing. The Grand hotel is just across the street 
from the Palace, and is the handsomest hotel build- 
ing in the city. The What-cheer house is the house 
where a guest's plate is filled with soup from a mon- 
ster syringe. If the necessary five cents in payment 
is not at once forthcoming the syringe is again applied 
to the plate and the soup withdrawn. The theatres 
are large and handsome, though of late the theatri- 
cal business has considerably declined. The churches, 
from Mayor Kalloch's tabernacle to the Chinese Joss 
houses, are well built and well supported. The clubs 
— Bohemian and others — are conducted on the most 
"generous, gorgeous and gigantic " plan. Hospital- 
ity is the object of their every endeavor. The schools 
of the city are modern in every respect. The mint is 
an institution where the stranger should go to see 
how it seems to see gold and silver handled like corn 
and potatoes. Chinatown must be visited at night 
with a policeman or some other functionarj' as a 
guide. Here you will see a simon-pure chunk of 
China, broken off and relocated in San Francisco.

chants with their counting machines ; the theatres

with their senseless performances — stale, flat and un- 
profitable ; the Joss houses, or churches, with their 
idols, symbols and magnificent specimens of carving; 
the restaurants, where nimble-fingered Chinamen 
" eatee lice " (rice) with two small round sticks ; the 
opium dens, where one comes as near getting a smell 
of Hell and a sight of the Devil as anywhere else in 
the worM ; the underground burro wings, where there 
are more Chinamen to the square j'ard than there are 
inhabitants iu Kansas to the square mile ; the great 
aggregation of crooked smells and noises, and over 
and above all the babblings of a strange and chill- 
ing tongue — these are the tints which compose the 
picture of Chinatown. San Francisco jewelry stores, 
photographic establishments and Japanese importing 
houses should all be visited. "Nobb hill," is the 
place where much of the wealth of California has its 
place of residence. The grave of Starr King, the new 
city hall, the wharfs and naval posts, all should be 
seen. Golden Gate park, the Cliff house and Seal 
Eocks should be visited, and then may come an end- 
less variety of excursions — North, East, South — near 
at hand along the bay, or further off inland or along 
the coast. San Francisco is a wooden city, the pecu- 
liar climate making it advantageous to build of wood 
and finish with a cement which gives buildings the 
appearance of marble. The red wood used does not 
burn rapidly, and altogether this system of building 
which at first seems shoddy and unsubstantial is 
really the best possible one. This is San Francisco. 
It must be seen to be appreciated." — The Southern 
Pacific is the only railroad terminating within the 
city limits ; the Central Pacific terminates at Oakland, 
and the California Pacific and San Francisco and 
North Pacific lines terminate on San Pablo Bay N. 
of the city. Abt. 50 ocean steamers run from the port 
in regular lines to Japan, Australia, Panama, Mexico, 
Victoria, and domestic ports in Oregon and Califor- 
nia, and a score of light steamers to various ports on 
the inland waters that have their outlet at the Golden 
Gate. San Francisco Avas first settled in 1776 as a 
Spanish military station and a Franciscan mission 
to Indians. It made little progress till 1848, when the 
discovery of gold directed a great tide of immigration 
to the Pacific coast ; and nature had given San Fran- 
cisco almost an absolute monopoly of the harbor 
privileges of 2,000 m. of coast. Its growth was 
rapid ; its enterprises were magnificent, its ven- 
tures the most daring, and its speculations the 
wildest, in modern commercial history. As the 
country gained age, and surface mining wore out, 
more distant and more costly mining was managed 
from San Francisco ; and the losses and the gains in 
that city upon ventures in Nevada and Colorado 
have been enoi'mous. A great traffic has grown up 
in the development of the permanent grain and fruit 
resources, as well as in its commanding relation to 
Asiatic commerce. San Francisco ranks third among 
all the ports of the Union in the total value of its 
foreign commerce, which for the year 1882 was $83,- 
092,022 (exports $53,476,356; imports .$41,001,636). In 
that year 922 vessels of 1,116,903 tons entered, and 
992 vessels of 1,200,419 tons cleared the port in the 
foreign trade. There were, belonging to the port, 860 
vessels of 208,058 tons, including 16.5 steamers of 75,- 
129 tons. The following are items of the foreign and 
domestic commerce and business of San Francisco : 
mineral prod. $18,190,973 ; treasure exports, $26,218,- 
171 ; mint coinage, $38,065,750 ; quicksilver exports, 
52,180 flasks ; coal receipts, 618,094 tons ; wine ex- 
ports by sea, 1,401,438 galls., andbj' rail 676,916 galls. ; 
salmon shipped E., 216,301 cases ; coffee imports, 12,- 
393,822; coffee exports by sea 514,741 lbs., and by 
rail, 2,822,965 lbs.; rice imports, 48,811,107; shipments 
of hides by rail, 4,622,920 lbs., and of leather, 1,791,- 
275 lbs.; wool exports by sea, 12,731,297 lbs., valued 
at $2,313,959, and shipped by rail, 37,379,044 lbs., 
57 



valued at $6,600,000 ; lumber receipts, 212,151,817 ft.; 
tea imports, 19,977,672 lbs.; sugar imports, 54,487,- 
442 lbs.; on which the Hawaiian Islands constituted 
46,682,801 lbs. The value of manuf. establishments 
in 1880 was $80,000,000, including sugar refineries, 
woolen and silk-mills, and manuf. of watches, car- 
riages, boots, furniture, candles, acids, soap, wire- 
work, castings of iron and brass, silverware, etc. 
Many of the mines of gold, silver, quicksilver and 
coal, the deposits of borax and sulphur, the quar- 
ries of granite, marble, trap, slate, and steatite, the 
mining and irrigating ditches, the railways and ma- 
cadamized roads, the quartz mills and saw mills, the 
vineyards, farms, orchards, and ranches, fi-om Ari- 
zona to Idaho, and from the Pacific to the Rocky 
Mts., are owned here. — San Francisco had, in 1882, 
21 commercial banks and bankers, and 8 savings 
banks with $36,374,685 deposits. The city is divided 
into 12 wards, and governed by a mayor and a board 
of supervisors of 12 members. It is supplied with 
water from Pilarcitos near the base of the peninsula, 
by a conduit 30 m. long. The regular police force 
consists of 150 men, and there is a paid fire depart- 
ment with 11 steam engines, 5 hose, and 3 hook and 
ladder companies. The most important educational 
institution near San Francisco is the university of Cali- 
fornia, at Berkeley. In the city, besides the public 
schools which accommodate 30,000 pupils iu regular 
attendance, are an excellent school of design, two 
medical colleges, and three academies. Among the 
charitable institutions the principal are the U. States 
marine hospital, the new city hospital, St. Mai-y's 
hospital (Roman Catholic), the State woman's hospi- 
tal, the almshouse, the Protestant orphan asylum, 
and the Roman Catholic orphan asylum. The mer- 
cantile library has 40,000 volumes, the mechanics' in- 
stitute library 30,000, the odd fellows' library 25,000, 
and the law library 15,000. In 1882 there were 103 
newspapers and periodicals, of which 16 daily. 
The Golden Gate park, W. of the city, comprises 
1,043 acres beautifully laid out. The Laurel Hill 
cemetery is in many respects unsurpassed. With- 
in the inelosure of the cemetery is a singu- 
lar mountain, of conical shape, which rises up 
singly and alone to a considerable height above 
the surrounding country, which is tolerably level. 
On its summit is a large wooden cross ; and both 
mountain and cross are very conspicuous, and may 
seen from almost any part of the city. Pop. in 1846,

This is the most celebrated watering-place in the U. 
States. There are here, within the distance of about 
half a mile, as many as 28 mineral (including 6 
spouting) springs, with properties considerably var- 
ious, and all highly efficacious in their remedial use. 
This place is the annual resort of thousands, es- 
pecially during the months of July and August, 
who come in pursuit of health or pleasure, from 
every section of this country and of Europe. Large 
and splendid accommodations are provided in the 
various hotels and boarding-houses, which, in the 
season of company, are often thronged with visitors, 
presenting an animated scene of gayety, luxury, and 
display. The village, which is in the N. part of the 
tp. is situated on a sandy plain, in part surrounded by 
a beautiful grove of pines, having its principal street 
upon the W. margin of a narrow vale in which the 
springs are found. On this broad street most of the 
largest hotels are situated, with several of the 
churches and other public edifices, which give to it 
an imposing ajjpearance. The springs issue from the 
limestone formation, which underlies the whole sur-

face of sandy soil upon which the village is built ; 
most of them coming out near the margin of a small 
stream which runs through the village, in the narrow 
valley on the E. of the principal street. Some springs 
are chalybeate, others impregnated with iodine, sul- 
phur, and magnesia, and all powerfully charged with 
carbonic acid gas. The most celebrated are the Con- 
gress, Empire, Hathorn, High Rock, Washington, 
Geyser, (spouting), and Pavilion Springs. These wa- 
ters are highly efficacious in many inveterate cases 
of disease. But even this is not their most important 
benefit. They have an almost magic effect upon the 
healthy system, to renovate and invigorate its ener- 
gies, when relaxed from long confinement to busi- 
ness, or from sedentary habits, and to remove the la- 
tent causes of languor and disease. Their chief me- 
dicinal properties are of the cathartic and tonic 
kinds. Large quantities of these waters are bottled, 
and exported. The v. contains 7 large and 25 small

Savannah, Ga., a city^f) and port of entry, cap. 
of Chatham co., and the second city in size and com- 
mercial importance in the State, on the S. side of the 
Savannah R., 18 m. from its mouth, on the r^.G., the 
C.&S. and the S.F.&W.RRs., 295 m. E.S.E. Atlanta 
and 115 m. S.W.Charleston, S.C. The city isbuilton 
a sandy plain 40 ft. above the level of the river. It is 
laid out with regularity and beauty, by streets cross- 
ing each other at right angles, and having between 
every other street a public square, generally enclosed 
and ornamented with trees. These open parks, with 
their verdant carpeting and shaded avenues, together 
with the rows of trees with which the streets gener- 
ally are lined on both sides throughout, give to the 
city, during the spring and summer months, an airy, 
cool, and rural appearance. Of public buildings the 
most pi-ominent are the custom-house and post-office, 
exchange, police barracks, theatre, Oglethrope Bar- 
racks (Q. S.), and market ; private buildings of rare 
and beautiful architectural proportions are promi- 
nent. The position and the harbor of Savannah ofEer 
fine advantages for navigation and commerce. The 
harbor is one of the finest on the S. coast of the U. 
States. The entrance from the sea, over the bar, is 
full a mile wide, the depth of water is 19 ft. at mean 
low water, and 26 ft. at mean high water ; within, at 
the Tj'bee Roads anchorage, the depth is 31 ft. and 38 
ft. respectively. Only 12 ft. however, at mean low 
water and 18 ft. at mean high water can be carried up 
to the city, and much dredging is required to keep 
the channel open in certain places to this extent. The 
river flows between marshy lands, which are intersec- 
ted by numerous creeks and artificial channels, and 
are cultivated chiefly for rice. Long narrow islands 
and spits almost level with the water occupy a large 
portion of the space between the opposite banks, and 
reduce the main channel for a considerable part of 
the way between the city and the mouth to a width 
of a quarter of a mile and even less.The chief defences 
of the river are Fort Pulaski, a strong fortification 
on Cockspur Island, at the mouth of the river, and 
Fort Jackson on the right bank, 4 m. below the city. 
Steamers run regularly up the river to Augu.sta, and 
to New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Florida, and 
southern ports. — The chief business of Savannah is 
the receipt and shipment of cotton, though the trade 
in turpentine lumber is also considerable. As a cot- 
ton port it ranks second in the U. States. The value 
of imports from foreign countries in 1880 was $429,- 
519 ; of exports, $21,527,235. During the year 319 ves- 
sels of 400,048 tons entered, and 366 vessels of 431,- 
450 tons cleared the port in the coastwise trade. The 
number of vessels belonging to the port in 1880 was 
71, with an aggregate tonnage of 16,347. The chief 
manuf. establishments are several planing mills, 
foundries, and flouring and grist mills. There are 1 
nat. and 5 other banks, 2 daily, 3 wkly and 2 month- 
ly papers. The city is governed by a mayor and 12 
aldermen, elected biennially. It has a good police 
force and efficient fire department with a fire alarm 
telegraph. There are 13 public schools (10 white 
and 3 colored), several private schools, and a med- 
ical college. Savannah has also three noteworthy 
and attractive monuments — one in memory of Count 
Pulaski, who fell in the American assault on the Brit- 
ish works in that city on Oct. 9, 1779 ; another in mem- 
ory of Gen. Nathaniel Greene ; and the third in honor 
of the Confederate dead — erected in the magnificent 
park on the southern limits of the city. Pop. 30,709.

Savannah River, S. C. and Oa., a river, 
formed by the junction on the line between Ander- 
son CO., S.C. and Franklin co., Ga., of the Tugaloo 
and Kiowee, two small streams which rise at the S. 
extremity of N.C. From its source, atthe junction of 
these two rivers, to its mouth it has a channel length 
of 450 m. while the distance in a direct line is only 
250 m. With its tributaries it drains an area of over 
8,000 sq. m. It flows S.S.E. forming the boundary 
between S.C. and Ga., and enters the Atlantic 18 m. 
below Savannah City. The Savannah is a turbid 
stream, and the current in the upper portion of the 
river and its tributaries is rapid and carries a great 
deal of silt, particulaly during the season of freshets. 
Bars are thei-efore formed in the broader portions of 
the stream where the current is less rapid, and the 
stream becomes .sluggish. At Savannah the mean rise 
and fall of tide is 65 ft. The tidal wave ordinarily as- 
cends to a point abt. 28 m. above Savannah city, or 
45 m. from Tybee Roads. The river is navigable to 
Savannah for vessels drawing 18 ft. of water, and by 
small vessels to Augusta, 231 miles, and even far be- 
yond the latter place for small craft.

Seneca. Lalce, iV. Y., is the largest of that ser- 
ies of beautiful lakes lying in the interior of Western 
New York. It is 40 m. long, and varies in width from 
2 to 4 m. Its elongated diameter is nearly from N. to 
S. The elevation of its surface is 431 ft. above tide 
water. About midway, upon the W. shore, it receives 
the outlet of Crooked Lake, which lies abt. 6 m. to 
the S.W. elevated 265 ft. above. Its own outlet is at 
its N.E. angle, and flows E. abt. 12 m. to Cayuga 
Lake, affording a fine water-power at Waterloo, and 
also at Seneca Falls. The whole descent, in 12 m. is 
abt. 80 ft. At the falls the water descends 47 ft. over 
4 dams. Seneca Lake is very deep, and consequently 
is never entirely frozen over ; 12 m. from its outlet, 
it has been ascertained to be 560 ft. deep. It is con- 
nected by a canal with Crooked Lake. Its outlet is 
also made navigable by locks at Waterloo, connect- 
ing its commerce with that of the Erie Canal. Upon 
•the lake itself steamboats run regularly through from 
Geneva, near its foot, to Jefferson at its head. 

Seneca Rivei-, N. Y., is the outlet of Seneca 
Lake, from the N. end of which it flows E. abt. 12m. 
to the N. end of Cayuga Lake. Receiving the waters 
from this lake, it turns N. until it meets with a stream 
formed by the outlet of Canaudaigua Lake, and other 
small tributaries coming from the W.; after which it 
flows E. again, receiving other tributaries successive- 
ly from the outlets of Owasco, Skaneateles, and 
Onondaga Lakes, until it meets that of the Oneida 
Lake, where, turning to the N. W. it becomes the Os- 
wego R. and flows into Lake Ontario, at Oswego. Its 
course is abt. 60 m. from Seneca Lake to its conflu- 
ence with the Oswego. It is rendered navigable by a 
canal and locks to the Erie Canal at AVaterloo. 

Sen'ecas, one of the tribes of Iroquois, or Six 
Nations of Indians of Western New York, the most 
numerous and warlike of that confederacy. Thej' still 
occupy in N.Y. the Alleghany, Cattaraugus, and 
Tonawanda reservations (66,000 acres), but white set- 
tlers have encroached so that there are thriving 
towns there. They number abt. 3,000 and there is be- 
sides a band of abt. 200 living in the Ind. T. on the 
Neosho.

Shoshones, or Snakes, a family of Indians of 
the Californian group, inhabiting a wide range of ter- 
ritory from Idaho southward into Utah, and from the 
Sierra Nevada eastward to the Rocky Mts. They are 
divided into Shoshones proper and Utes or Utahs. 
The Shoshones have usually been peaceably inclined, 
but have several times come into collision with the 
white settlers and suffered severely, several bands 
having been nearly exterminated. Most of the south- 
ern Shoshones live upon roots and small animals, but 



the northern bands obtain a comfortable subsistence 
from the fisheries of the Shoshone R. (a head stream 
of Snake R.) and by hunting larger game, some of 
them being very expert with the bow, and of late 
years possessing some horses and firearms. They are 
very fond of barter and of personal adornment, are 
usually dressed in buffalo or deer skins, live in skin 
tents, are fond of games of chance. Few efforts at 
their conversion or education have as yet been made. 
The entire number of the various bands is estimated 
at abt. 5,000, the greater part being in Utah and Ne- 
vada.

an average some 70 m. wide. The principal lines of 
crests are distinguished. Numerous peaks reach an 
elevation of 10,000 or 15,000 feet. Among these are 
Lassen's Butte (10,577 feet). Pyramid Peak Mts., 
Whitney (15,088). Dana (13.227), Brewer (13,886),

dard, Mt. King, and many others. The Sierras are 
remarkably broken by cagnons. Quartz-mining for 
gold, the cutting of timber, and the pasturage of 
sheep are important industries in these ranges. The

Snake River, also called Lewis Fork, and 
Shoshone River, the largest tributary of the Col- 
umbia, issues at an elevation of abt. 7,790 ft., from a 
a lake in the National Park of the Yellow Stone 
(Uintah co., Wyo. Ter.), which was until lately sup- 
posed to be the source of the Madison R. It flows 
N.W. to the junction of Lewis fork, the outlet of 
Shoshone and Lewis Lakes ; then S., expanding in its 
course into Jackson Lake, and again N.W. to the 
junction of Henry's fork (a total course of nearly 
200 m.) in Idaho, about lat. 43° 15', Ion. 112°. From 
the junction the Snake describes a curve of more 
than 350 m. through 8. Idaho, flowing S.W. and then 
N. W., and strikes the Oregon border in about lat. 
44° 40'; it then flows N. abt. 200 m., separating 
Idaho from Oregon and Washington territoiy, when 
in abt. lat. 46° 30' it turns W. into Washington, and 
after a further course of abt. 150 m. falls into the 
Columbia abt. 20 m. above the Oregon boundary, 
abt. lat. 46° 15', Ion. 119°. Its total length is upward 
of 900 m. Steamers ascend to Lewiston on the Idaho 
border ; navigation is then impeded for more than 
100 m. by shallows and rapids, above which the river 
is again navigable for 150 or 200 m. In its course 
through S. Idaho, the Snake flows through a vast 
canyon, varying in depth from 100 to 1,000 ft.; many 
of its tributaries sink, and, passing under the strata 
of lava, fall from the sides of the canon into the main 
stream ; and here occur the American, Shoshone, and 
Salmon falls. The American falls are in abt. Ion. 112° 
45' and have a perpendicular descent of 60 or 70 ft. 
The Shoshone falls, further down the stream, and 
just below the junction of Malade R. are surpassed 
only by those of Niag.ara and the Yosemite. The 
river, here 200 or 300 yards wide, is divided above 400 
yards above the main fall into six nearly equal parts 
by five islands, and in the passage between them is 
precipitated, 25 or 30 ft. Uniting below the islands, 
the water passes in an unbroken sheet over the great 
fall, a descent of abt. 200 ft. The Salmon falls abt. 
45 m. below the Shoshone, are 20 ft. high. 

Snake 'River, Minn., i-ises by several l)ranches 
in the S. part of Aitkin co., flows S. to Brunswick, 
Kanabec co., aiid then turning E. falls into St. Croix 
R. ,ln Pine co. Length, abt. 135 m. — Also the name of 
an aflluent of the Red River of the North in Kittnon co.

South Carolina, a S.E. State, bounded N. 
and N.E. by North Carolina, S.E. by the Atlantic 
Ocean, and S.W. by Georgia. It is situated between 
lat. 32° and 35° 10' N., Ion. 78° 35' and 83° 30' W. The 
shape is that of an irregular triangle, 240 m. long 
from E. to W., and 210 m. wide from N. to 8.; area, 
30,170 sq. m. This State presents a great variety of 
soil and surface. Along the seaboard and for 40 m. 
into the interior, the face of the country is flat and 
unpromising, covered with extensive tracts of pine 
barren, swamp, and savannah, or open meadow 
without wood, comprising the most fertile and the 
most sterile extremes of soil. Ascending toward the 
centre of the State, the country rises into hills of 
moderate elevation. Advancing still further into a 
N. direction, it becomes mountainous, and very pic- 
turesque, rising by a gradual slope toward the Blue 
Ridge Mts. Table Mt. has an elevation of 4,000 ft. 
King's Mt., upon the N.C. border, is a conspicuous 
landmark. The principal rivers of the State take 
their rise in the Blue Ridge Mts. of N.C. and flow in 
a S.E. direction toward the ocean. Beginning on the 
N., the first important stream is the Great Pedee, 
called the Yadkin in N.C, which empties into Win- 
yaw Bay. Steamboats ascend it for 150 m. The San- 
tee R., formed by the junction of the Wateree and 
the Congaree near the centre of the State, discharges 
its water through two mouths, called the North and 
South Santee. Both the main branches are naviga- 
ble almost to the boundaries of N.C. for small boats. 
Ashley and Cooper Rs. find their outlet through 
Charleston Bay. The Edisto is a considerable stream, 
divided by a large island near its mouth into two 
parts, called the North and South Edisto. Savannah 
R. forms the boundary between S.C. and Ga. It is 
navigable for large steamers to Augusta, 230 m. 
Numerous bays indent the coast, which is 200 m. 
long in a direct line. Winyaw Bay, 14 m. long and 
2 m. wide, affords a good harbor. St. Helena's Sound, 
from 3 to 5 m. broad, extends inland for 10 m. Beau- 
fort harbor will admit vessels drawing 24 ft. of water. 
Charleston harbor is spacious, but the entrance is 
obstructed by bars. Stretching along the coast and 
cut off from the main land by narrow channels are 
many islands. These islands, in their primitive state, 
were covered with a growth of trees, underbrush and 
rank weeds so thick as to be almost impenetrable. 
Extending along the adjacent shores were dense 
forests of live-oak, pitch pine.palmetto, yucca, laurel, 
hickory, etc. Six millions of acres are included in 
the pine woods.- Orange trees flourish in the South. 
The mountains of the N.W. are covered with a hard- 
wood growth, comprising most of the trees which 
are common to N.C. and Va. The famous sea-island 
cotton, "which has no superior in the world," is 
grown to perfection upon the deep, rich soil of the 
islands. It is estimated that a million acres of the 
most productive lauds can be made by draining the 
swamps, which have an inexhaustible fertility. Rice- 
fields occupy many of the tide-swamps. Upon the 
oak and hickory openings large crops of cotton, corn, 
potatoes and other vegetables are produced. The 
pine lands are less fertile, but well repay cultivation. 
Nearly half the soil of the State is of an alluvial 
formation, having clay for its substratum. The cli- 
mate, from the location, should be very hot, being 
in the lat. of Morocco and the Barbary States, but it

is more like that of the S. of France and N. Spain. 
On the coast the sea-breezes, and in the interior the 
mouutaius, greatly modify the heat. In the N.W. 
portion of the State, Indian corn is not as sure a 
crop as it is in Minnesota, while in the S. and S.E. dis- 
tricts the orange, the sugar-cane, the pomegranate, 
the fig, and the banana are largely cultivated. Sud- 
den frosts sometimes cut off these fruits, but in the 
average of j'ears they do well. The mean annual 
temperature" of Charleston for the past thirty years 
has been 65.6° — the summer mean abt. 80°, the win- 
ter mean 53°, the spring 66.3°, and the autumn abt. 
65°. The isothermal line of 64° crosses the State from 
Little River Inlet (N.E. corner of the State) to Ham- 
burg, opposite Augusta, on the Savannah R. S. of 
this line, towards the Savannah R. and harbor, the 
mean annual temperature rises to 67° N. and N.W. 
of it the annual mean falls to 60°, and in the moun- 
tainous district to 56°. The range on the lowlands is 
from 51 to 60 inches, on the middle and ridge lands, 
44 to 53 inches, and in the mountainous di-tricts, 
from 40 to 44 inches. Yellow fever occasionally oc- 
curs as an epidemic at Charleston. — S.C. is rich in 
mines. Gold is found in Spartanburg, Union, York, 
Lancaster, Greenville, Pickens and Abbeville coun- 
ties ; silver in Spartanburg; copper in York, Spartan- 
burg and Pickens; iron in Spartanburg, York, Green- 
ville and Pickens ; lead in Pickens ; manganese in 
Spartanburg, York, Union, Chester, Pickens, Lan 
caster, Greenville, Anderson, Abbeville and Edge- 
field; bismuth in Chesterfield and Lancaster ; black 
lead in Spartanburg ; coal in Chesterfield, Malboro 
and Aiken; oxide of titanium in Pickens; sulphate of 
iron, found in gold mines, is in Pickens detected 
mixed with sulphate of alumina. Previous to 1860, 
these mines had been worked to some extent, but 
never were developed to their full capacity. Since 
the close of the late civil war the owners have been 
pecuniarily unable to continue the work. Capitalists 
are becoming interested in them, and in a few years 
these mines will again be in active operation and 
yielding handsome revenues. The limestone of the 
Blue Ridge may be used as fertilizers, while the 
richest deposits of bone phosphates on the conti- 
nent, if not in the world, are quarried in Charleston 
CO., near the Ashley and Cooper Rs. (See Charles- 
ton). — S.C. is rich in valuable woods such as live 
oak and 30 other varieties of oak, black walnut, ce- 
dar, cypress, 5 varieties of pine, hickory, chestnut, 
poplar, ash, linden, magnolia, elm and other mag- 
nificent forest trees. The flora of the State embraces 
3,500 species, of which 400 are medicinal. The usual 
prod, of the State are cotton, rice, corn, wheat, rye, 
oats, millet, barley, buckwheat, peas, beans, sweet 
and Irish potatoes, sorghum, sugar, tobacco, indigo, 
hemp, flax, hops, broom corn. Of fruits, peaches, 
apples, pears, figs, quinces, plums, pomegranates, 
lemons, olives, mulberries, raspberries, strawberries, 
blackberries, whortleberries, walnuts, chestnuts, 
hickory nuts, pecans, hazel nuts, beech nuts and 
pindars. All varieties of grapes grow luxuriantly, 
and fine wines are made from the cultivated grapes 
and from the muscadine, which grows in wild abun- 
dance all through the woods. Vineyards and the 
manuf. of wines have proved profitable and very in- 
expensive. Vegetables of every known variety are 
grown with ease in this State, and the shipping of 
early vegetables V> Northern markets brings a hand- 
some profit to those so engaged. Thousands of dol- 
lars have been realized on asparagus beds, and any 
amount of money might be realized on the canning 
of tomatoes and fruits which grow to perfection 
here. Where proper attention has been paid to dairy 
products a good yield has paid well, and the butter 
made at some of the dairies brings from 35 to 45 
cents a pound. Sheep husbandry is receiving consid- 
erable attention in S.C. now, and promises to prove 



a vast source of wealth to the people. Many are in- 
terested in raising improved bees and poultry. Cat- 
tle, sheep, goats and hogs are raised for market, but 
are seldom sold outside of the State. The native 
grasses in the N. part of the State furnish abundant 
pasturage for cattle and sheep, and very little atten- 
tion to them is necessary, even in winter, owing to 
the mildness of the climate. The principal markets 
for agricultural products and live stock are Charles- 
ton, Columbia, Newberry, Greenville, Spartanburg, 
and other towns in this State ; Charlotte, N.C., At- 
lanta, Augusta and Savannah in Ga. The cotton is 
purchased in those cities principally by commission 
merchants and consigned by them to Europe and the 
Northern States of the LTnion. In 1880 the principal 
agricultural prod, were 11,767,099 bush, of corn, 3,- 
715,505 of oats, 963,358 of wheat, 53,077,515 lbs. of 
rice, 138,924 galls, of molasses, and 522,548 bales of 
cotton. The amount of wages paid for farm labor 
decreased, according to the census returns, from $7,- 
404,297 in 1870 to $5,981,616 in 1880. The total value 
of farm prod, was $41,967,746 in 1880, against $41,- 
909,403 in 1870. The number of horses, mules, and 
other domestic animals, reported in the three last 
census years, was as follows :

The rice plantations of the Carolinas and Ga., 
which before the war produced 175,000 tierces of 600 
pounds, were destroyed and the cultivation discon- 
tinued during the war. It was commenced again in 
1864-'65, in which year the product amounted to 4,- 
000 tierces, and has been gradually extended until 
the crop of 1880-'81 reached 115,000 tierces. The Car- 
olina product increased from 48,000 tierces in 1878- 
'79 to 63,750 in 1879-80, and 69,000 in 1880-'81. The 
product of N.C., included in these returns, is com- 
paratively small. The rice-lands of S.C, which are 
not suitable for any other crop, give employment to 
thousands of the colored people, who were thrown 
upon their own resources after the war. — S.C. is not 
a manuf. State. According to the census of 1880, the 
State had 3,078 manuf. establishments, employing 
22,018 hands, capital invested $11, 205,894, wages paid 
during the vear, $3,836,389, value of materials, $9,885,- 
538, value of products, $16,738,008. Cotton factories 
form the most important manuf. interest. There

were 14 in active operation, having an aggregate capi- 
tal of $3,776,100, spindles 82,334, looms 1,676. The 
commerce and navigation of S.C. are noticed under 
the names of its three customs districts : Charles- 
ton, Beaufort and Georgetown. In 1882 there 
were 1,484 m. of railroad in operation in the State. 
The Santee Canal, 22 m. long, connects Charleston, 
through Cooper R., with the Santee. There are also 
several short canals, having an aggregate length of 
abt. 30 m.— There are in the State 3,331 educational 
institutions of various kinds, as follows : Colleges, 
male and female 12, professional schools 2, with a 
wide range of study, and are supported by the towns 
and the State. The annual school appropriations 
amount to more than $600,000. A portion of the 
schools, in the larger towns especially, are thorough- 
ly graded and are furnished with apparatus and li- 
braries. The State has also, in some parts, select pri- 
vate schools, commercial institutes and academies. 
Providence voluntarily sustains a school of design. 
Scituate and East Greenwich have academies. The 
State normal school, located in Providence, receives 
an annual appropriation of $9,000. Brown university, 
situated in Providence, founded by the Baptists in 
1764, is a liberal college of a very high rank, known 
over all the country for its able teachers and gradu- 
ates. — S.C. is divided into 33 cos. (formerly called 
districts) viz.: Abbeville, Aiken, Anderson, Barn- 
well, Beaufort, Berkeley, Charleston, Chester, Ches- 
terfield, Clarendon, Colleton, Darlington, Edgefield, 
Fairfield, Georgetown, Greenville, Hampton, Horry, 
Kershaw, Lancaster, Laurens, Lexington, Marion, 
Marlborough, Newberry, Oconee, Orangeburgh, 
Pickens, Richland, Spartanburgh, Sumter, Union, 
Williamsburg, York. Columbia is the cap. Charles- 
ton is the chief city. Charleston and Port Royal rank 
among the finest harbors on the Atlantic. The latter 
is fast becoming the outlet for a vast amount of 
Western products as well as for cotton and rice 
shipped direct to Europe. Taking into consideration 
its geographical position, climate, soil, mineral pro- 
ductions, means of artificial fertilization, water-power, 
means of inland transportation, and foreign com- 
merce, its health and rare beauty, S.C. is unquestion- 
ably one of the finest countries in the world. Its peo- 
ple as a whole are alive to the importance of settling 
up the land now idle for want of efficient labor, and 
every encouragement is held out to immigrants 
and capitalists. The government is administered 
under the constitution adopted in 1868. The legisla- 
ture consists of 33 senators, elected for 4 years, and 
124 representatives, elected for 2 years. The governor 
(salary, $3,500 and a furnished house) and lieutenant- 
governor are chosen for 2 years. Three judges, ap- 
pointed by the general assembly for 6 years each, 
constitutes the supreme court. The chief-justice is 
paid a salary of $4,500, and the others $3,500 each. 
There are 2 circuit courts, of which the courtof com- 
mon pleas has civil jurisdiction and the court of 
general sessions has criminal jurisdiction only. A 
court of probate is established in each county. In 
1881 the total State debt was $7,253,447. The valua- 
tion of taxable property was $136,999,989 (real estate 
$79,563,022, personal property $45,504,063, railroad 
property $12,132,900). Tax levy (5 mills) .$684,999.94. 
— In 1562 a party of French Huguenots built a fort 
upon an island in Port Royal Harbor and called it 
Carolina, in honor of Charles IX. of France. This 
colony was soon dispersed. The first permanent set- 
tlement was made by a company of English colonists, 
at Port Royal, in 1670. In 1685, a large company of 
French Huguenots established themselves in the 
State. South Carolina bore an honorable part in the 
struggle for independence. The battles of Camden, 
King's Mt., Cowpens, Eutaw Springs and others of 
lesser note were fought upon her soil. An ordinance 
of secession was passed Dec. 17, I860, and the bom- 



bardment and capture of Fort Sumter by Gen. Beau- 
regard, April 12, 13, 1861, was the first act of open 
hostility of South against North. The destructive 
march of Gen. W. T. Sherman from Savannah 
through S.C. began in Jan., 1865. The State was re- 
admitted into the Union, July 13th, 1868. Pop. in

Spuyten Diiyvil {spl't'n dl'vil), N. Y., form- 
erly a V. of Yonkers tp., Westchester co., on Hudson 
R. and Spuyten Duyvil Creek, now annexed to the 
city of New York. It is 12 m. N. of the city hall by 
N.Y.C.&H.R.RR., and has a branch p.o. 

Spuyten Duyvil Creelc,iV. F., a tortuous 
narrow channel connecting the Hudson R. with the 
Harlem R., and thence with the EastR. on Long Is- 
land Sound. The creek forms the N. boundary of 
Manhattan Island. Flaws of wind are apt to burst 
along the depression through which the creek runs, 
impeding the navigation by sailing craft, and the 
name is probably derived from an oath sworn by au 
old Dutch shipmaster, that he would pass the mouth 
of the creek Spuyt den Duyvil " in spite of the de- 
vil." It is too shallow for navigation, and proposi- 
tions have been made from time to time to deepen its 
endsatthe E. and W., cut a ship canal across the 
neck formed by its devious course, and so make, in 
connection with improvements in the bed of the 
Harlem R., a channel between Long Island Sound 
and the Hudson R., through which vessels might 
pass from the one to the other, instead of being com- 
pelled to make the circuit of the entire city of New 
York as at present.

Stat'en Island, N.Y.,2in island forming the 
CO. of Richmond (which see), is in shape an irregu- 
lar triangle, its base being bounded by the Kill von 
Kull, which separates it from the mainland of New 
Jersey on the N. and Newark Bay ; its longest side on 
the E. and S. by New York harbor and the lower or 
maratime bay respectively ; and its shortest side on 
the W. by Staten Island Sound, abt. J m. wide, 
which runs between it and New Jersey. Its area, is 
abt. 60 m., its greatest length 13 m., and its greatest 
breadth, 8 m. The island is very hilly, and its shores 
are almost everywhere dotted with the villas of New 
York business and professional men, who make it 
their place of residence all the year round. On the E. 
shore, opposite which Long Island comes to a point 
and forms the entrance to New York harbor called 
the Narrows, are Fort Wadsworth, Battery Hudson, 
and a line of water batteries, which, with Fort Lafa- 
yette on the opposite shore, command the entrance 
to the harbor. The quarantine station for vessels en- 
tering the port of New York is also here, and the 
quarantine hospital is on the S. shore. On the N. 
shore is the Sailors' Snug Harbor, a retreat for super- 
annuated seamen. There is but one line of railway on 
the island. It extends from Tompkinsville to Totten- 
ville, following the longest side of the triangle about 
a mile from the shore, and which connects with Perth 
Amboy, New Jersey, by a steam-ferry about every 
hour. Ferry-boats run from New York to Tompkins- 
ville, Stapleton, and Clifton, on the E. shore, from 
the foot of Whitehall st., and from another pier ad- 
joining to New Brighton, Sailors' Snug Harbor, Cas- 
tleton, Port Richmond, and Elm Park, on the N.

Stockton, CaZ., a city^, cap. of San Joaquin 
CO., at the head of a navigable channel of the same 
name, connecting it with San Joachin R., 3 m. there- 
from, 92 m. E. by N. from San Francisco, and 48 m. 
S.E. Sacramento by the W. div. of C.P.RR. The site 
of the city is a level plain, whose monotony is re- 
lieved by scattering oaks ; its streets are regularly 
laid out, and many of them ornamented with choice 
shade trees. The business portion of the city is prin- 
cipally constructed of brick, and has many fine build- 
ings. It was laid out in 1849. Being at the head of 
navigation and a convenient point of departure for 
the gold-mining regions of Calaveras, Tuolumne, 
and Mariposa COS., it soon became a place of consid- 
erable business importance, and commanded the 
trade of those prosperous counties. After the decline 
of the mining interest came the development of the 
agricultural resources of the great San Joaquin 
Valley, for which Stockton, on account of its lo- 
cation, became the natural business centre, a distri- 
buting point for farmers' supplies, and is now the 
most important interior wheat market in California. 
Stockton has several large Avarehouses for the stor- 
age of grain, and sailing vessels of 150 tons, and 
steamers of 500 tons burden reach her wharves at all 
seasons of the j^ear. Stockton has 15 churches, some 



of them beautiful and costly edifices, 5 large public 
school houses, a convent, 2 public libraries, a me- 
chanics' institute, 2 nat. and 2 other banks, 3 daily 
and 4 wkly papers, 2 large flouring mills, 2 extensive 
tanneries, 2 manuf. of agricultural implements, and 
2 of carriages and wagons, a paper-mill, a woolen- 
mill, 2 foundries, &c. The California insane asylum 
is located within the city Ijmits, occupying a hand- 
some site of 100 acres. A never failing supply of pure 
fresh water is obtained from artesian wells bored to 
a depth of from 80 to 120 ft., in which the water 
rises within 6 ft. of the surface. Pop. 10,282.

Superior I.<£ilce, the largest of the great lakes 
of INorth America, and supposed to be the largest 
body of fresh water on the surface of the globe. It is 
roughly triangular in outline, and is bounded N.W. 
by Minnesota and the province of Ontario, N.E. by 
Ontario, and S. by Wisconsin and Michigan. Its 
length isabt.380 m.,its breadth 130 and its circumfer- 
ence between 1,400 and 1,500 m.It is surrounded most- 
ly by a rocky, uneven, and sterile coast. It contains 
many considerable islands, the largest of which, in 
the N.W. part, is Isle Royal. Its waters abound with 
fish, particularly trout, sturgeon, and white fish, 
which are caught at all seasons. The trout taken in 
this lake generally weigh abt. 12 pounds, but many 
are larger than this, even up to 50 pounds. The ele- 
vation of the lake's surface above the ocean is 641 
feet, and the mean depth of its bottom 900 feet. 
This lake is subject to as violent agitation from 
storms as the broad Atlantic, and its navigation is 
quite as dangerous. More than 30 rivers empty their 
waters into Lake Superior, which are all discharged 
by the outlet of St. Mary's Strait, or River, into Lake 
Huron, towards the E. The boundary line between 
the U.S. and the British possessions passes from its 
outlet through the middle of the E. section of this 
lake ; but towards the W. it is carried clear round 
to the N. of Isle Royal, giving that island and the 
whole body of the lake below it to the U.S.; then 
passing round the W. extremity of the island, it in- 
clines b. to the entrance of Pigeon R., leaving the 
largest part of this section of the lake on the British 
side. The Pictured Rocks, so called, towards the E. 
end of Lake Superior, are a great natural curiosity. 
They form a perpendicular wall 300 feet high, ex- 
tending about 12 m. along the shore of the lake. Up- 
on the face of this wall are numerous indentations 
and projections, from which thej' have received 
their name, and at the base are many deep receding 
caverns, into which the waves, especially when lasli- 
ed by storms, roll and reverberate with a tremend- 
ous roar. At one place, at the height of 70 feet,a con- 
siderable stream leaps out, at a single burst from 
this lofty palisade of rocks into the lake, leaving a 
clear space for boats to pass behind its descending 
column. At another place four huge piers of the rock 
bear up a vast stratum or entablature of the same, with 
earth resting upon it, upon which are growing trees 
of spruce and pine, some of which stand 50 or 60 feet 
high. This is appropriately called the Doric Rock, 
from its remarkable resemblance to a work of art. 
The American side of the lake is generally lower and 
more sandy than the Canadian side, and is especially 
rich in its abundant deposites of native copper, with 
which native silver is often associated, and in the not 
less valuable beds of red hematite iron ores, which 
are extensively wrought.

Susquehanna, Pa., a river, formed by the 
union of its E. and W. branches at Northumberland, 
Pa. The E. branch, the larger, rises in Otsego Lake, 
Otsego CO., N.Y., at an elevation of 1,300 ft. Its 
course is S. and then S.W. to the Pa. line, which it 
crosses twice, afterward flowing S.E., and thence 
S.W. to the junction. The W. branch rises in Cam- 
bria CO., Pa. It has a very tortuous and generally E. 
course through a region abounding in timber and 
coal, but less celebrated for its fertility and beauty 
than the valley of the E. branch, a portion of which, 
called the Wyoming Valley, is world-renowned for 
the historic events oif which it has been the scene, as 
well as for the mineral wealth which it contains. The 
main Susquehanna flows first in a S. and then in a 
S.E. course through a wide, open, exceedingly fer- 
tile, and very picturesque countrj' of Devonian slates 
and limestones. It reaches the head of Chesapeake 
Bay at Port Deposit, Md. It is a wide and stately 
stream, but is shallow, and is nowhere navigable to 
any extent, save in the spring, when the freshets 
bring down great rafts of logs and lumber and some 
loaded boats. The length of the main stream is 150 
m., of the W. branch 200 m., of the E. (or N.) branch 
350 m. The branches afford great water-power. The

a lofty spire. Syracuse was first noted for its exten- 
sive salt works, which, before the opening of the 
salt wells in Michigan, were the largest in America. 
There are 20 salt companies, which manuf. both by 
solar and artiflcial heat, employing a vast amount of 
capital and hundreds of men. The manuf. establish- 
ments of Syracuse are numerous and important. 
Among them are 3 rolling mills, numerous furnaces, 
glassworks, steelworks, agricultural machine works, 
numerous barrel factories, 7 breweries and many 
others. The wholesale trade of the city is very large, 
aggregating many millions of dollars annually. There 
are large wholesale houses in drj'goods, groceries, 
clothing, drugs and medicines, leather, boots and 
shoes, malt liquors, tobacco and cigars, etc. Syracuse 
had, in 1883, 8 nat. State and savings banks, and sev- 
eral private bankers. Each of these institutions has 
erected a large and elegant banking edifice in the 
central part of the city. The public school system is 
complete in all its oppointments, and in the most 
prosperous condition. In 1880 they were taught by 
177 instructors, all but 8 of them women, in 19 school 
buildings. The number of pupils enrolled was 9,310 
and the average attendance 7,037. The day schools 
are classed as primary, junior, senior, high, and un- 
graded, each of the first 3 extending over 3 years. 
The high school nad an enrollment of 414, with 283 in 
average attendance, the graduating class numbering 
41. The Syracuse university was established by the 
Methodists in 1870, and opened in 1871. The plan is 
that of an assemblage of colleges of both under- 
graduate and professional grades, and three of these 
have been established, viz.: the college of the liberal 
arts, which confers degrees in the arts, philosophy, 
and science ; the college of physicians and surgeons; 
and the college of the fine arts. The library contains 
abt. 8,000 volumes. All the colleges are open to stu- 
dents of both sexes, who pursue the same courses of 
instruction in the same classes. While the responsi- 
bility of support and direction devolves mainly upon 
the Methodist Episcopal church, all sectarian differ- 
ences are ignored, and attendance upon chapel exer- 
cises is not compulsory. There are 3 public libraries 
— the central library, located in the high school 
building, and containing 14,000 volumes ; the library 
of the court of appeals, in the court-house, contain- 
ing 8,000 to 9,000 volumes, generally of a legal char- 
acter ; and a small library in the rooms of the young 
men's christian association. In 1882 there were ^ 
newspapers and periodicals, of which 4 were daily. 
The church organizations of the city are numerous, 
representing 13 or 14 different denominations, and 
numbering not less than 45 congregations. There are 
7 cemeteries, of which Oakwood and St. Agnes are 
large and very tastefully laid out. The city is divided 
into 8 wards, and is governed by a mayor and a 
board of eight aldermen. It has an effective police 
force, a good fire department, water works, and 
street railroads. Syracuse was first settled in 1797. It 
was incorporated as a village in 1825, and became a 
city in 1847. Pop. in 1850, 22,271 ; in 1860, 28,119; in

Xeii'iiessee', a large river and the chief af- 
fluent of the Ohio has its sources in the Alleghany 
Mts. in Tazewell and Wise cos., Va. Its principal head 
tributaries are the Holston and the Clinch Ks., the 
former of which receives the French Broad R., and 
the latter Powell's R. The Holston and Clinch unite 
at Kingston, in Roan co., Tenn., and thence the 
course of the main stream is about S.W,, until it 
crosses the boundary of Ala. near the N.E. corner of 
the State, and continuing 50 or 60 m. in this direction 
bends toward the N.W., breaking through the Cum- 
berland Mts., and traversing the entire N. end of Ala- 
bama, until, cuttingoff a small corner of Miss., it em- 
erges again into Tenn., where it immediately takes a 
course due N., crossing the State and entering Ky., 
across the Western point of which, bearing a little 
farther to the W., it flows on to its conflueuce with 
the Ohio, which is only abt. 12 m. below the mouth 
of the Cumberland R. The valley of the Tennessee 
divides itself into two great sections, the uppei' and 
the lower. The upper valley is that which is above the 
passage of the river through the Cumberland Mts., 
and is included between the two parallel chains of 
the Appalachian system, which form a connection 
just below this pass. This upper section is mountain- 
ous and much elevated, embracing an area of about 
24,000 sq. m. The lower valley of the Tennessee is 
composed of several physical sections, in N. Ala. 
W. Tenn., and Ky., comprising in all an area of 17,- 
600 sq. m. Thus the whole valley of this large river 
embraces a superficial extent of 41,600 sq. m. It is, 
therefore, by this standard of estimation, as well as 
from its comparative length, which is near 1,200 m. 
and from the large volume of water which it carries, 
entitled to the first rank among the tributaries of the 
Ohio. The difference in the relative height between 
the highest and the lowest extremes of the upper and 
lower valleys of the Tennessee is not less than 1,700 ft. 
The current of every branch of the river is very rapid 
though there are few, if any, direct falls in them, and 
they generally admit of boat navigation nearly to 
their sources. The whole river has a mean fall of 2 ft. 
to the mile. It is navigable, excepting at low water, 
for steamboats, from its mouth to Florence, in Ala. , 
a distance of 259 m. Hei-e are the Muscle Shoals, 
wherethe riverexpands to a width of several miles, and 
is very shallow. A canal has been made around these 
shoals, 36 m. long to admit the passage of steamboats, 
and the navigation of the river above is unobstructed 
for 250 m. to the pass of the Cumberland Mts. The 
river is here compressed to a width of 70 ft. besides 
being whirled around a projecting cliff, occasioning 
a very ditticult current for boats whether ascending or 
descending. The river above this point is only favor- 
able to navigation with the stream. 
— a S. State, bounded N. by Kentucky and Vir- 
ginia, S.E. by North Carolina, S. by Georgia, Ala- 
bama and Mississippi and W. by Arkansas and Mis- 
souri. It is situated between lat. 35° and 36° 35' and 
Ion. 81° 40' and 90° 28' W. ; extreme lenarth from E. 
to W. 430 m., breadth from N. to S. 110 m.; area, 
il,750 sq. m. Within the State are parts of two great 
mountain ranges which extend quite across, running 
from N. E. to S. W. The first of these is the Appalach- 
ian chain,which by its greater axis forms the dividing 



line between N. C. and Tenn. These mountains, 
known locally as the Unakas or Great Smoky Mts., 
occupy a belt within the eastern portion of the State, 
and as before stated, extend entirely across it. Their 
highest peaks rise to an altitude of more than 6,000 
feet. The mountain chain is cut into deep, rocky 
gorges, affording channels for the passage of tribu- 
taries of the Holston and Tennessee Rs., which 
enter the State from N. C. and Ga. Entangled, as it 
were, between this mountain range and its outliers 
are a number of coves and valleys of great beauty 
and fertility. The second mountain chain is known 
in Tenn. as the Cumberland Mts., which enter from 
S.W. Va. and S.E. Ky., and extend to the Ala. and 
Ga. line. This range consists mainly of an elevated 
plateau or table-land, having a comparatively level 
surface and an elevation of abt. 2,000 ft. Its width 
varies from 30 to 60 m. Its E. escarpment is gen- 
erally regular and precipitous. Walden's Ridge, 
which may be regarded as an outlier of the Cumber- 
land Mts., is separated from the main plateau by the 
Sequatchee Valley, and extends along its E. base 
nearly across the State, and gives rise to some peaks 
which tower considerably above the general level of 
the plateau. South of the Tennessee R., near Chat- 
tanooga, Lookout Mountain rises just within the 
limits of Tenn. and extends into Ga. The W. face 
of the plateau is much fringed and notched bj' coves 
which cut their way far into the mountain. Some of 
the W. outliers form peaks which rise to the level of 
the plateau. This mountain range forms the dividing 
line between the civil divisions of the State, known 
respectively as East and Middle Tenn. The State 
has 3 great rivers which, with their tributaries, con- 
stitute 3 great river systems. The first of these, as 
it finally receives the waters of the other two, is the 
Mississippi, which, in its tortuous, though generally 
S. course for several hundred miles, washes the W. 
shores of Tenn. The two other great rivers are 
the Tennessee (described above), and the Cum- 
berland (given at its alphabetical order). — Tenn. is 
divided into East, Middle and West Tenn. Each of 
these divisions constitutes a Federal district. East 
Tenn. is bounded on the south by Ga., E. by N. 
C, N. by Va. and Ky., and on the W. it adjoins 
Middle 'Tenn. near the center of the Cumberland 
Plateau. East Tenn. is noted for the fertility of its 
valleys, the beauty of its mountain scenery, the salu- 
brity of its climate and its rich mineral deposits, es- 
pecially numerous valuable mines of iron and coal so 
adjacent to and convenient that Knoxville forms 
one of the best centers for iron in the South. 
Already there are several large foundries and fur- 
naces located at Knoxville. Chattanooga has more 
manufactures of iron than any other place in Tenn. 
East Tenn. embraces 34 cos., viz.: Anderson, Bled- 
soe, Blount, Bradley, Campbell, Carter, Claiborne, 
Cocke, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hamilton, Han- 
cock, Hawkins, James, Jefferson, Johnson, Knox, 
Loudon, Marion, McMinn, Meigs, Monroe, Morgan, 
Polk, Rhea, Roane, Scott, Sequatchee, Sevier, Sulli- 
van, Unicoi, Union, Washington. — Middle Tenn. 
embraces the territory Ijing between the dividing 
line of East and Middle Tenn. passing over the cen- 
tral portion of the Cumberland Plateau, and the 
Tennessee R., where it crosses the S. boundary of 
the State, and pursuing a N. course crosses the 
State line into Ky. It includes the great Limestone 
Basin and the surrounding Highland Rim, or more 
properly, Plateau of Middle Tenn., and a portion of 
the Cumberland Plateau. The basin is a rich and 
populous section, more fully developed than most 
portions of the State. The plateau portion, while 
generally less fertile, yet has much valuable arable 
land. "The E. portion contains vast deposits of coal 
and also iron, while the W. part of the plateau is 
one vast iron field. All portions of this division

are bountifully supplied with timber. Limestone of 
good quality is found almost everywhere, and an 
excellent marble in some localities. The principal 
navigable stream is the Cumberland, though there 
are hundreds of smaller streams, affording abun- 
dance of water power. This division contains 41 
COS., viz. : Bedford, Cannon, Cheatham, Clay, Coffee, 
Cumberland, Davidson, DeKalb, Dickson, Fentress, 
Franklin, Giles, Grundy, Hickman, Houston, 
Humphreys, Jackson, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, 
Macon, Marshall, Maury, Montgomery, Moore, Over- 
ton, Perry, Pickett, Putnam, Robertson, Ruther- 
ford, Smith, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Van 
Buren, Warren, Wayne, White, Williamson, Wil- 
son. — West Tennessee lies between the Tennessee 
and Mississippi Rs. Agriculturally speaking, it is 
one of the finest bodies of land in the State or 
South. It is well adapted to all branches of agri- 
culture, although the soil varies very greatly in its 
composition and character. From 3 to 10 niiles W. 
of the Tennessee R. is a rich bottom, and from 10 
to 40 m. E. of the Mississippi R. is another bottom 
of surpassing fertility. The latter is noted all over 
the world for the profuse luxuriance of its vege- 
tation. The soil is unfathomable and will produce 
the most abundant crops, without manure, from 
year to year. Between the two rivers is a gradual 
slope from E. to W. which for the most part is 
sandy loam. It being warm, the soil loose, it makes 
quick growth, and is therefore finely adapted to all 
crops that require a fast growth, especially garden 
stuffs and small vegetables. The timber of West Tenn. 
is very valuable and plentiful. Much of the timber 
that goes to making farm implements in the N. is 
derived from West Tenn. Fruit grows splendidly 
from the looseness of the subsoil. Memphis, formerly 
the largest, now the second city in the State, is in 
this section. Every co. has a populous town in it, 
some of them being very fine ones. Jackson, next to 
Nashville, Memphis and Knoxville, is a great manu- 
facturing center, and several other points are put- 
ting up furniture establishments. This is close to the 
excellent lumber which is practically boundless in 
West Tenn. The bottoms on the Mississippi R. 
are capable, if properly cultivated, of feeding the 
entire State. The soil makes over a bale of cotton 
per acre, or from sixty to one hundred bushels of 
com. The cos. of this division are : Benton, Car- 
roll, Chester (recently formed from parts of Madi- 
son, Henderson, McNairy and Hardeman), Crocket, 
Decatur, Dyer, Fayette, Gibson, Hardeman, Hardin, 
Haywood, Henderson, Henry, Lake, Lauderdale, 
Madison, McNairy, Obion, tPerry, Shelby, Tipton, 
Weakley. — The products of the State are of all kinds 
cultivated in the temperate zone. Cotton is the 
staple of West Tenn., grain of the Middle, and 
stock-raising of East Tenn. Tobacco is grown 
in every co. in the State. — The climate of Tenn. 
is as varied as her topography. The isothermal 
lines crossing the State are: Spring, 5°-60°; 
summer, 71°-77°; autumn, 55°-60°; winter, 35 °-40°; 
yearly mean, 60°. During the year 1880 the 
mean temperature at Knoxville was 57.5°, and 
the maximum 99°. At Nashville the mean was 
61.3°, and the maximum 106°; upon 63 days dur- 
ing June, July and August the mercury rose to 
90°, and upon 7 days it reached 100°. At Mem- 
phis the thermometer indicated a temperature 
of 100° upon 4 days, and one day rose to 101.5°, 
the mean was 61.6 degrees. The rainfall at 
Memphis was 49.39 inches, at Nashville 59.76 
inches and at Knoxville 63.50 inches. Snow oc- 
casionally falls throughout the State, varying 
in quantity from the " lightest covering to the 
earth to from 4 to 6 inches, and in rare instances 
reaching the depth of 13 to 18 inches. Except in 
the mountain regions it seldom remains upon the 



ground more than a few days. Ice is sometimes 
formed from 4 to 10 inches in thickness. For a 
period of 10 years the average number of days dur- 
ing which the wind blew from different points of the 
compass were as follows : North, 120 ; Northeast 
128 ; East, 105 ; Southeast, 119; South, 176; South- 
west, 116 ; West, 75 ; Northwest, 130 ; calm, 126. The 
climatic conditions of Tenn. are highly favorable to 
health and longevity. The cool and bracing atmos- 
phere of the Cumberland Plateau, and of the ele- 
vated portions of East Tenn. render those parts of the 
State delightful as resorts during Summer heats.

There were 266,119 horses ; 173,488 mules ; 303,833 
milch cows ; 27,320 working oxen ; 453,463 other 
cattle ; 673,117 sheep ; and 3,158,169 hogs.— The total 
production of the coal miners in 1880 was 494,491 
tons, value $628,954. The yield of the iron mines 
was 89,933 tons of ore, value $129,951. There were 
in Tenn. 4,326 manuf. establishments, employing 
23,445 hands; capital invested, $20,093,845; wages 
paid during the year, $5,334,775 ; value of materials, 
$23,836,263; value of products, $37,074,886. The 
State had 16 cotton mills, working 818 looms and 
35,736 spindles. Memphis, Nashville and Chatta- 
nooga are U. States ports of delivery, but the for- 
eign commerce is transacted chiefly through New 
Orleans, Mobile and Charleston. In 1883 there were 
93 vessels, all steamers having a tonnage of 14, .521, 
belonging to the ports of Tenn. During that year 
9 steamers of 487 tons in aggregate were built, and 
the State had 1,973 m. of railroad in operation. — 
Tenn. enjoys peculiar advantages for the higher 
education of the youth of both sexes. The follow- 
ing universities are located within her limits : Van- 
derbilt university, at Nashville ; Tennessee univer- 
sity, at Knoxville ; Wesleyan university, at Athens; 
Cumberland university, at Lebanon ; university of 
the South, at Sewanee ; Southwestern university, at 
Clarksville ; Southwestern Baptist university, at 
Jackson; and Fisk university (colored), at Nash- 
ville; all of which maintain a high standard of 
scholarship. Besides these universities, all of which 
except the university of Tennessee, are under the 
care of some one of the religious denominations of 
the country, there are large numbers of colleges, 
collegiate institutes, seminaries, academies and high 
schools. The university of Tennessee has an agri- 
cultural department which is rendering iuvalual)le 
service to the agricultural interests of the State. 
In many localities good private schools have been 
maintained for many years and have established for 
themselves quite enviable reputations. Under the 
laws of Tenn. each city and incorporated town has 
authority to levy a tax for school purpo.^es, and the 
large majority of them have availed themselves of 
the privilege and established graded schools of good 
character. The State has a well arranged system of 
free schools, which is gradually becoming efficient 
for the education of the masses of her children. The 



d 



TEN 



TER 



total expenditure for free schools in Tenn. during 
the year 1882 was 1835,629.22. The whole number 
of free schools taught in the State was 5,603, with an 
average duration of four months and six days. The 
average daily attendance upon these schools was 
180,509. It is confidently anticipated that within a 
very few years the rapidly growing interest which 
is being developed throughout the State will give to 
the free schools all the efficiency which the friends 
of popular education can desire. The benevolent 
Institutions sustained by the State, are, the asylum 
for the insane, located near Nashville ; the school 
for the blind, at Nashville ; and the asylum for the 
deaf and dumb, at Knoxville. The penitentiary at 
Nashville is conducted on the '* silent system." — The 

feneral assembly of Tenn. consists of a senate and 
ouse of representatives, the former consisting of 38, 
and the latter of 99 members who are elected for 2 years 
and hold regular biennial sessions. The governor 
and other executive officers are chosen for a term of 
2 years, with the exception of the secretary of State, 
•who continues in office for 4 years. Five judges, 
chosen by popular election, constitute the supreme 
court. Circuit and chancery courts have been estab- 
lished by the legislature. The term of office for 
judges is 8 years. The State is entitled to 10 repre- 
sentatives in congress, and has therefore 12 electoral 
votes. In 1882 the total State debt was $20,229,300, 
and interest past due and unpaid, $4,156,522.73. The 
debt on January 1, 1874, was $49,173,316.66; the 
above is under the funding act of 1873. There are 
also $785,000 outstanding bonds which have not been 
renewed or registered. Assessed valuation for 1880 — 
real estate, $195,635,100 ; personalty, $16,133,338 ; and 
railroads, $16,375,894— total, $228,144,332. Tax rate, 
1 mill=$228,144.33. For the two years ending Dec. 18, 
1880, the receipts from all sources amounted to $1,- 
144,394.82, and the payments to $1,400,316.47. Ex- 
cess of payments, $255,921.65. An act passed in 1881 
provided for refunding the debt in bonds bearing 3 
per cent, interest, and covering the full face of the 
old bonds, and 12 overdue coupons, including that 
of July 1, 1881. Coupons to be receivable for taxes 
on Feb. 10, 1882. The State supreme court held this 
law to be unconstitutional. — In 1754 a settlement 
was made by colonists fromN.C, who were soon 
driven away by hostile Indians. The first permanent 
settlement W. of the Alleghanies was made on the 
Tennessee R. in 1756, when Fort Loudon was erected. 
Four years later the Cherokee Indians captured the 
fort and butchered or reduced to captivity all the 
whites. Until 1789 the territory was regarded as be- 
longing to N.C. In that year it was ceded to the 
general government. A territorial government was 
organized in 1794, and Tenn. was admitted to the 
Union as the 16th State June 1, 1796. On the 8th 
of June, 1861, a majority voted to separate from the 
U. States and to unite with the Southern confeder- 
acy. Full relations to the Union were restored July 
24, 1866. A new constitution was ratified by the peo- 
ple March 26, 1870. Pop. in 1790, 35,691; in 1810,

Xex'as, a S.W. State, bounded N.W. and N. by 
New Mexico and the Indian Territory, E. by Arkan- 
sas and Louisiana, S.E. by the Gulf of Mexico and 
S.W. by Mexico. It is situated between lat. 25° 50' 
and 36° 30' N., and Ion. 93° 30' and 107° W. The ex- 
treme length is 810 m., the breadth 750 m., aud the 
area263,390 sq. m., 175,587,840 acres. All of the New 
England and Middle States, together with Maryland, 
Virginia and North Carolina, have a smaller extent 
of territory than this one State of Texas. It is sepa- 
rated from the Indian Territory by the Red R. for 400 
m.; from Louisiana by Sabine R., and from Mexico 
by the Rio Grande. A belt of country, varying from 
20 to 100 m. in width, extends along the Gulf of 
Mexico, comprising in whole or in part the cos. of 
Cameron, Neuces, San Patricio, Refugio, Calhoun, 
Victoria, Jackson, Wharton, Matagorda, Fort Bend, 
Brazoria, Chambers, Jefferson and Orange. On this 
great plain of alluvial formation, occur perhaps the 
richest lands in the world. Its staple products are 
sugar and cotton, and its fruits the banana, orange, 
pear, peach, grape, etc. In healthfulness this sec- 
tion of Texas is equal to that of any alluvial country. 
The chief diseases are typhus and other fevers. 
Along the coast are many narrow islands, also of al- 
luvial formation, the configuration of which is some- 
times entirely changed by the terrible West Indian 
hurricanes. East Texas embraces the territorj' E. of 
Trinity R. as far N. as the N.W. corner of Hender- 
son co., and S. of an imaginary line running from 
thence to the Red R. The lower portion, 30 or 40 
m. in width, is within and has all the characteristics 
of the alluvial belt. It is the great timber region 
of Texas, and, indeed, there are few regions anywhere 
which can excel it in the quality, quantity, and 
variety of its timber. In some districts the pine pre- 
vails almost exclusively on the uplands, in other re- 
gions the pine, of gigantic growth, is mixed promis- 
cuously with white oak, cj'press, magnoha, hickory, 
pecan, cedar and a vast variety of other timber. Be 
sides pine there are (as in many other parts of the 
State) vast tracts of red and white cj-press, of enor- 
mous size, frequently 6 or 7 ft. in diameter. There 
is also a great deal of walnut, mulberry and mag- 
nolia. The staple crops are cotton and corn. Tobacco 
of excellent quality is raised, and as a peach-pro- 
ducing country the upper portion of this section 
is superior to the State of Delaware. The only 
minerals known to exist are iron ores, which 
are profitably worked , lignite, gypsum and salt. 
The health is good throughout the whole section, 
but especially is in the middle and northern portion. 
Central Texas extends from the Trinity R. on the E. 
to the Colorado and the 99th degree of Ion, ou the

W.; and from the 32(1 parallel of lat. ou the N., to 
the Alluvial Plain on the S. It offers a great diver- 
sity of scenery, soil and products, and all (except 
the latter) differing remarkably from Eastern Texas. 
These points of difference will be observed as we 
proceed. Starting from the Gulf Plain, the territory 
immediately begins to ascend, first by slow grada- 
tions and very gentle undulations. Moving still far- 
ther N., the elevation becomes more distinct and 
rapid, and the undulations bold and prominent. 
This condition increases and intensifies until we 
reach Austin on the W. side of the line, where 
we enter a region of highlands and valleys, which as 
we move northward assumes a somewhat mountain- 
ous aspect. The distance from the Alluvial Plain to 
Austin is about 150 m., and we find that the elevation 
above the sea has risen above 600 feet in that 
ehort distance, or about four feet to the mile. In 
the E. portion of Central Texas the region of easy 
ascents and undulations extends much farther N., 
and on that line no such elevation as that about 
Austm occurs. The soil is largely a black, sandy 
loam. The chief products of the S. portion are cot- 
ton, corn and oats ; while in the N. portion wheat 
divides the honors with cotton. North Central Texas 
includes all above a line running from the Trinity R. 
in Navarro co. to the Colorado near Austin. It is a 
region of lofty highlands, deep valleys and large roll- 
ing prairies. The geological formation is mostly 
cretaceous, limestone being the only rock. There 
are rapid, sparkling streams filled with fish. It is a 
region of short, sweet, nutritious grasses, unsur- 
passed for sheep and horses. The soil of this varied 
region is nearly altogether a very strong " black- 
waxy' soil, charged with lime, and having very 
little-sand. Indeed, it is often difficult to detect the 
presence of any sand whatever. Such a soil might 
readily be expected from the prevailing limestone 
rocks. In the valleys, particularly along the great 
rivers, we find the famous "hog-wallow" prairies. 
They are so-called from the multitudes of small 
saucer-like depressions which characterize them. 
These depressions are from 2 to 5 or 6 ft. in dia- 
meter, from a few inches to a foot in depth, and 
usually very close together. They are usually in 
valleys, but sometimes found on the summits of the 
highest hills or undulations, where they have a level 
surface. In Central Texas is included another sub- 
division, sometimes called North Texas, which lies N. 
of the 32° parallel, and is composed of high roll- 
ing prairie, with considerable timber. It is this 
section into which the tide of immigration is now 
flowing with the greatest strength. North Texas 
contains a number of young cities which promise to 
become places of great commercial importance ; as, 
for instance, Marshall, Sherman, Dallas and Fort 
Worth. West Texas embraces that immense scope 
of territory from the Colorado and the 99th parallel 
of Ion. on the E., to the Rio Grande on the W., and 
from the upper line of Green, Runnels and Coleman 
CO. on the S., to the Gulf of Mexico. This vast ter- 
ritory contains every imaginable sort of landscape: — 
the level pampas, the rolling prairie, deep forests, 
pleasant highlands, lofty tablelands, dark gorges, 
deep canons and, finally, lofty and rugged mountains. 
This region is supposed to possess great mineral 
wealth, but no thorough geological surveys have- 
been made. Mineral veins are found in nearly all 
the mountains, but none have been penetrated more 
than a few feet. Silver, gold, copper, lead and iron 
have been found in no inconsiderable quantities. 
Among the products that especially flourish in 
certain localities of this division of the State, 
may be mentioned the grape, which, it is prophesied, 
will here find, eventually, a marvelous development 
of its culture. Wheat, also, is produced, in a large 
area, of exceedingly fine quality. The greatest 



area of its vast expanse is esteemed to be the best 
sheep-raising countrj' in the U. States. It is im- 
possible to convey in less than a volume any idea of 
the diversified soil and production of West Texas, 
or of its physical characteristics. " The Pan Handle " 
includes all north of the line of the Texas Pacific 
railway W. of the 99th meridian and E. of the 
Pecos R. It is a lofty region, its lowest borders 
being 1,500 ft. above the sea, and its highest 5,100. 
There are some extensive prairies, and as a stock 
range it is supposed to have no equal anywhere. It is a 
new country, only partially known, and now being 
opened for the first time by railroads. It is believed 
that there is an abundance of fuel, but not much 
building timber. It is also thought to have an abun- 
dance of water for stock purposes, but not for a 
dense population. The geological formation is 
mainly carboniferous, permian and trias. There are 
extensive seams of coal and some cojjper and iron. 
There are also large deposits of salt and gypsum. — 
Texas has 2 distinct climates with an intermediate 
region sharing the characteristics of both in a 
marked degree. There are certain S. and S.S.E. 
winds which blow from the Gulf, that are charged 
with moisture which they deposit before reaching 
the highlands. They temper the summer's heat 
and make that season pleasant, so that there is an 
agreeable, moist climate in the S. portion, a hot, dry 
climate in the N., and an intermediate country in 
which the two prevail in varied proportions. At 
Galveston the rainfall was 67.47 inches ; at San An- 
tonio, 38.33 inches ; at Eagle Pass, 25.43 inches. 
These figures indicate the humidity of the different 
sections of the State. The healthfulness of West 
Texas is excellent. Consumption never originates 
there, nor is diphtheria known. — The State, except 
in the region of the Llano Estacado, is well watered, 
but none of the Texan rivers are navigable for any 
considerable distance except at high water. The 
Canadian R. crosses the Bexar territory in the ex- 
treme N. end of the State. The Red R. has its source 
in the Llano Estacado, but neither this nor the 
Canadian has any large tributaries in the State, 
though each receives numerous creeks. The Sabine 
and the Neches discharge their waters into Sabine 
Lake, draining the extreme eastern portion of the 
State. Trinity R., rising in Grayson co. in the N., and 
the San Jacinto, a smaller stream, both discharge 
their waters into Galveston Bay. The Brazos, one of 
the largest rivers in the State, has its source in the 
N., near the Llano Estacado, and flows into the Gulf 
of Mexico, abt. 36 m. below Galveston ; the Colorado, 
another large river having its source in the Llano 
Estacado, pursues a course nearly parallel with that 
of the Brazos, and empties into Matagorda Bay. 
The Guadalupe and San Antonio Rs. drain a con- 
siderable portion of Southern Texas, and unite just 
below tlicir entrance into San Antonio Bay. Passing 
the Aranzas R., a little stream falling into Aranzas 
Bay, we come to the Nueces, a large river, which, 
with its affluents, drains a large region in S.W. 
Texas, and discharges its waters into Corpus Christi 
Bay. Between this river and the Rio Grande, 8 or 10 
creeks of no great length flow sluggishly through 
the lands into the long land-locked sound known as 
Laguna de la Madre. The Rio Grande del Norte, a 
very long but shallow river, divides the State from 
Mexico, and with its principal tributary, the Rio 
Pecos, drains most of Western Texas. Speaking of the 
mineral wealth of the country. Col. Forney says : 
" God in his generosity seems to have given a share of 
all his best gifts to Texas." Horace Greeley, who 
made a journey through Texas in 1871, wrote : " As 
yet the mineral wealth of Texas sleeps undisturbed 
and useless. She has iron enough to divide the earth 
by railroads into squares ten miles across, but no ton 
oif it was ever melted. She has at least 5,000 sq. m.

of coal (probably much more), but no ton of it was 
ever dug for sale. She has gypsum enough to plas- 
ter the continent annually for a century, but it lies 
quiet and valueless — a waste of earth-covered stone." 
Gold, silver, copper, lead, nickel, alum, cobalt, man- 
ganese, arsenic and various precious stones, such as 
the ruby, agate, garnet, amethyst and opal, have 
been found. There are large deposits of potters' 
clay, fire-clay and marl, and extensive quarries of 
granite, marble, slate, soap-stone, etc. Salt is very 
abundant. These mineral resources are almost un- 
touched. — In 1880, according to the census of this 
year, the principal agricultural products were : 72,- 
786 bush, of barley; 29,065,173 of corn ; 4,893,359 of 
oats ; 25,399 of rye ; 2,567,760 of wheat ; 803,643 
bales of cotton ; 62,152 lbs. of rice ; 4,951 hogsheads 
of sugar and 810,605 gals, of molasses. The farm 
animals were : 806,099 horses ; 132,581 mules and 
asses ; 90,603 working oxen ; 606,717 milch cows : 
3,387,967 other cattle ; 2,411,887 sheep ; and 1,954,- 
948 hogs. The weight of the hides of the animals 
slaughtered in the State, not included in the above, 
was 28,104,065 lbs. In 1880, Texas was only second 
to California as a wool-growing State, her wool clips 
being 14,568,920 lbs., valued at $2,013,784. Capital 
is being largely invested in this industry, which 
many believe to be the most profitable in the State. 
Great numbers of hogs are raised at small cost, the 
"mast" being excellent and abundant. The hogs 
are shipped to market alive, as it is difficult to cure 
pork in most sections of the State without the use of 
ice. Tiie Angora goat has been introduced and is 
being raised with great profit. — There were, in 1880, 
2,996 manufacturing establishments, employing 12,- 
159 hands ; capital invested, $9,345,561 ; wages paid 
during the year, $3,343,087 ; value of materials, $12,- 
956,269 ; value of products, $20,719,928. The most 
important of these were flour and meal, sawed lum- 
ber, cotton-seed cake and oil, packed beef, and 
stoves. The State has 5 custom districts : Brazos de 
Santiago (port of entry Brownsville), Corpus Christi, 
Paso del Norte (El Paso), Saluria (Indianola), and 
Texas (Galveston). The chief item of export is cot- 
ton. The trade with Mexico is important. In 1882 
the value of exports were : $18,377,452 ; of imports, 
.$5,099,109. There were 277 vessels of 11,465 tons 
belonging to the several customs districts. The 
rivers offering but temporary and uncertain chan- 
nels of communication, the development of the in- 
terior commerce of the State depends chiefly on the 
railroad system. Railroad construction is making 
wonderful progress. There were in 1882 30 railroads 
having 5,344 m. of road in operation in Texas, 
against 2,591 m. in 1880. — No State has made such 
endowment for education as Texas. None were able 
to do so because none had public lands as she has, 
and so it happens that while the school fund is prince- 
ly the school tax is light. The lands set apart for 
education are : For a university, 1,331,400 acres : 
county school domain, 2,833,930 acres; general 
school domain, 50,000,000 acres; total, 54,055,320 
acres. For the present maintenance of schools 
there is the interest on the $3,500,000 permanent 
fund. This is yielding an annual income of more than 
$200,000, and is increasing from land sales $100,000 
a year. The constitution sets apart not more than ^ 
the general revenue of the State and $1 poll tax for 
the support of common schools. In the year 1880 
this amounted to $919,880. Besides this amount 
there is the interest on the co. school fund, $550,- 
030. Free schools in 1882 were maintained in 159 
counties. Of these, reports were received from only 
133 counties ; yet in these counties there were 4,523 
schools. These were attended by 133,667 white chil- 
dren, and 45,465 colored. In them there were em- 
,ployed 3,358 white teachers and 991 colored, being a 
total of 4,349 teachers. The State has also estab-; 



lished 2 normal schools, one of which is for the 
education of colored teachers. At these schools the 
students are both educated and boarded without 
charge. An agricultural college has been located near 
Bryan, the State appropriating $200,000 and erect- 
ing elegant buildings, in every manner adapted to 
the uses of a first-class college. A bill has passed 
the legislature in 1881 for the immediate establish- 
ment of a university at Austin in keeping with its 
princely endowment. There are numerous private 
and church schools located in all parts of the State. 
—There were, in 1883, 3,157 penitentiary convicts, 
of whom .343 on the penitentiary walls at Huntsville, 
and the balance on plantations, etc.— The State is 
divided into 310 cos., viz.: Anderson, Angelina,

senators elected for 6 years, and 90 representatives 
elected for 2 years, who meet biennially and are paid 
$8 per da3'. The governor and other executive offi- 
cers are elected for 4 years. Judicial authority is 
vested in a supreme court of 3 judges, and 35 dis- 
trict courts, presided over by a single judge. Gen- 
eral elections are held on the first Tuesday after the 
first Monday in Nov. of every alternate year, begin- 
ning with 1873. Texas sends 11 representatives to 
congress, and has 13 electoral votes. The public 
debt in 1880 amounted to $4,447,700. The valuation 
of taxable property was $;300,.525,407 (real estate,

near the present site of Matagorda by a company of 
French colonists, in 1687. In 1690, the Spaniards 
established, not far from the same spot, the mission 
of San Francisco. The territory was long under the 
government of Mexico, and shared in the internal 
dissensions of that country. The privilege of main- 
taining a State government of their own was refused 
to them, and the Texans took up arms. The first 
battle was fought Oct. 2, 1835. Hostilities continued 
at intervals for ten years. On the 1st of March, 
1845, Texas became one of the U. States, and its an- 
nexation led to the Mexican war. An ordinance of 
secession was passed Feb. 5, 1861. A new constitu- 
tion was adopted in 1869. No census of the pop. of 
Texas was taken while it was under Mexican rule. 
The estimated number of inhabitants in 1806 was 
7,000, and in 1836, 52,000. According to the U. 
States census, the pop. in 1850 was 212,592; in 1860, 
604,215 (of whom 182,566 slaves); in 1870,818,579; 
in 1880, 1,591,749 (of whom 837,840 males and 753,- 
909 females ; 1,477,133 natives and 114,616 of foreign 
birth ; 1,197,237 whites, 393,384 colored, 136 China- 
men, and 992 Indians).

Trenton is divided by Assunpink Creek, into two 
nearly equal parts, Trenton and South Trenton. It 
is regularly laid out, and lighted with gas. Its streets 
are wide and well shaded, and have a grade which 
promptly carries off surface drainage to running 
watercourses. Several picturesque elevations in the 
suburbs, including a fine eminence along the river, 
are occupied by handsome mansions surrounded by 
beautifully laid out grounds. The public buildings, 
comprise the State capitol, a fine structure beauti- 
fully located on an elevation overlooking the Del- 
aware, and surrounded with spacious, well-Iaid-out, 
and finely-shaded grounds ; the State normal and 
model schools ; the Soldiers' Children's Home ; the 
State prison ; the State lunatic asylum ; the State re- 
form school for girls; and a large and handsome build- 
ing of Ohio sandstone containing the post-office and 
U. States courts and offices. Trenton has abt . 30 
churches, 3 nat. and 4 other banks, apubhc library 
(in addition to the State library in the capitol) ; an 
opera house with a seating capacity of 1600 and cost- 
ing $110,000 ; several public halls ; a street railway

tutions,andhospitals,ect., connected with religious or- 
ganizations. Trenton is at the head of tide-wafer and 
steamboat navigation on Delaware River.and is inter- 
sected by Delaware and Raritan Canal, one of the most 
important water-thoroughfares in the country, con- 
necting by continuous inland navigation the cities of 
New York and Philadelphia, and the latter city with 
Baltimore. There are two lines of large propellers 
from Trenton, which transport merchandise and 
manufactured products to these points ; and a i-eg- 
ular line of steamboats to Philadelphia on the Dela- 
ware. The principal source of the growth and pros- 
perity of Trenton is its manufactures. Here are the 
extensive rolling-mill of the New Jersey Steel and 
Iron Co., employing 000 hands and with a capital of 
$1,000,000 ; the Trenton Iron Co.; a wire-mill; the 
American Saw Co ; the Phoenix ironworks ; the Nat-

Xroy, iV. T., acity<f>, the cap. of Rensselaer co., 
and the'29th city in pop. in the Union, is situated on 
the E. bank of Hudson R., at the head of steamboat 
navigation, and on the N.Y.,C.&H.R., the D.&H.C. 
Co., and T.&B.RRs., 148 m. N. of New York, and 5 
m. N. of Albany. It is connected with West Troy on 
the other side of the river by an iron bridge, l,60O ft. 
long. It is practically the terminus of the Erie and 
Champlain canals. A daily line of steamers and var- 
ious lines of barges ply to New York, and lines of 
propellers to Philadelphia and other points. The city 
is built on a somewhat elevated plain, extending from 
the river back to a range of hills terminating abruptly 
abt. 1 m. E., and furnishing from their brows, eleva- 
ted from 300 to 400 ft., a commanding and beautiful 
view of the city and surrounding country. Mt. Ida, 
directly in the rear of the broadest part of the city, 
and Mt. Olympus, towards the N. part, are the emi- 
nences most distinguished for the line prospects which 
they afford. Two streams, the Wynantskill and Poes- 
tenkill, affording an extensive water power, empty 
into the Hudson, within the limits of the city. The 
Wynantskill has a wider valley, through which a road 
passes, ascending to the upper level of the country. 
The State dam across the Hudson also furnishes 
4,000 horse-power. The city is chiefly built N. of the 
Poestenkill, and extends along the Hudson for a dis- 
tance of abt. 3 m. The river, having a curve here, 



has given that form, for a considerable distance, to 
the great business street immediately on its bank. 
With this exception, the streets are laid out straight, 
intersecting each other, for the most part at right 
angles. River St., is the chief thoroughfare ; and 
near 1st, 2d, and 3d Sts., are the finest churches and 
private residences. The savings bank, on State St., 
is an elegant edifice costing $450,000 ; the new city 
hall is a line building ; and there are many handsome 
business structures. The buildings of St. Joseph's 
theological seminary (on Mt. Ida), are noble speci- 
mens of Byzantine architecture. Troy is a centre of 
extensive manuf. enterprises in iron, cotton goods, 
stoves, railroad cars, car-wheels, shirts, bells, cable- 
chain, etc. The first Bessemer steelworks in America 
was established here. It has large rolling mills, 
foundries, and blast furnaces. The Burden iron 
works, have an annual capacity of 40,000 tons, and 
employ 1,400 hands, producing pig iron, merchant 
iron, horse and mule shoes, and boiler rivets. The 
other iron manuf. of the city are carried on by more 
than 30 firms, and consist of stoves, hoUowwai'e, 
hot air furnaces, machinery, steam engines, scythes, 
shovels, malleable iron, safes, butts, hinges, steel 
springs, agricultural implements, &c. The annual 
product of the shirt and collar (linen and paper) 
business, which is more extensive here than any- 
where else in the U. States, and employs more than 
30 factories, is valued at $3,000,000, requiring the 
labor of 6,000 hands, chiefly women. The largest 
manuf. of mathematical instruments in the U. States 
is in this city. The total annual value of the manuf. 
of Troy is abt. $12,000,000. The lumber trade is im- 
portant. Troy has 8 nat. 3 private and 3 savings 
banks, abt. 50 churches, a splendid Masonic temple, 
the celebrated Rensselaer polytechnic institute, a 
Roman Catholic seminary for the education of priests, 
academies, a female seminary, a fine high school, ll 
newspapers, and periodicals, of which 4 daily, a 
well equipped hospital, the Marshall infirmary, with 
an insane asylum attached, 2 orphan asylums, and 
various benevolent institutions. The city is divided 
into 13 wards ; it is governed by a mayor and aboard 
of 26 aldermen, and has an efficient lire department. 
Troy was incorporated as a village, April 2, 1801, and 
as a city, April 12, 1816. Pop. in 1840, 16,334 ; in 1860,

Utali, a W. Territory, bounded N. and N.E. by 
Idaho and Wyoming, E. by Colorado, S. by Arizona, 
and W. by Nevada. It is situated between lat. 37° 
and 42° N. and Ion. 109° and 114° W. The length 
from N. to S. is abt. 150 m. the breadth 280 m., and 
the area 82,190 sq. m. Utah is divided into two parts 
by the Wahsatch Mts., which cross it from N.E. to 
S.W. The W. part belongs to the Great Basin, its 
waters having no outlet to the ocean, while the E. 
partis drained by the Colorado R. of the West. The 
surface is elevated ; the valleys lie from 4,000 to 6,000 
ft. above the sea, and the mountains attain an alti- 
tude of from 6,000 to upward of 13,000 ft., the high- 
est peaks rising above the line of perpetual snow. 
The region E. of the Wahsatch range has a greater 
number of streams (which, however, nearly all flow 
through deep and precipitous canons and are not 
generally available for irrigation) and is more rugged 
and mountainous than that W. of it. The Uintah 
Mts., extend E. from the Wahsatch range along the 
S. border of Wyoming, and occupy a large area. The 
Roan or Book Mts., lie partly in Utah and partly in 
Colorado, between the Grand and White Rs. The 
Little Mts., are W. of Green R., and extend N.W. 
and S.E. between White and Uintah Rs., joining the 
Wahsatch range. The Sierra Lasal is S.E. of Grand 
R. near the E. boundary, and S. of it are the Sierra 
Abajo and Orejas del Oso. The San Juan range and 
Sierra Panoche are near the S. boundary, the former 
W. and the latter E. of the Colorado R. The princi- 
pal mountain summits, with their elevation, are Mt. 
Tohkwano (13,500 ft.), Hayden Peak (13,500), Dawes 
Peak (13,300), Gilbert's Peak (13,250), the Twin Peaks 
(12,000), Belknap (11,894), Mt. Baldy (11,730) and 
Lone Peak (10,713). The S.E. portion of the territory 
is less mountainous than the N.E., consisting of ex- 
tensive undulating plateaus. W. of the Wahsatch 
range the country consists of a series of disconnected 
valleys, generally having a N. and S.. direction, 
formed by ridges and mountain ranges, among which 
are the Thomas, Iron, Guyot, Goshoot, Pijarajabi, 
Oquirrh, and Raft River mountains. The most thickly 
settled portion of Utah is along the W. base of the 



Wahsatch Mts., which reach their greatest altitude 
near Salt Lake City. The habitable country comprises 
a succession of beautiful valleys, enclosed by huge 
mountains of imposing grandeur. In some instances 
access is gained from valley to valley by deep nar- 
row gorges or canons, through which wagon roads 
and more recently railroads, have been constructed 
at enormous expense. Down those passes dash 
and gurgle beautiful streams, which frequently 
abound in trout and other fish. Great Salt Lake, the 
"DeadSeaof America," situated a few miles N.W. of 
Salt Lake City, has no known outlet. The water is so 
saline as to render it exceedingly buoyant. Bathers 
find it more difficult to sink than to swim in it. Flow- 
ing into it from the S. is the River Jordan, which 
drains Lake Utah. Upon the N. the Bear K. from 
Idaho and other smaller streams discharge their 
waters into the lake. The district E. of the mountains 
IS drained by the Green and Grand Rs., which unite 
to form the Colorado. None of the streams of the 
Territory are navigable. There are several groups of 
hot springs, with a temperature ranging from 90° to 
136°. Upon the Uintah and Wahsatch Mts., are heavy 
forests ; the timber line is at the height of 11,000 ft. 
Among the trees most abundant are the fir, spruce, 
pine, cedar, maple, oak, mountain mahogany, quak- 
ing ash, etc. The Great Basin is almost destitute of 
wood, but trees planted upon the irrigated lands 
grow rapidly. The soil is exceedingly rich and ad- 
mirably adapted to agricultural purposes. The land 
has, however, to be irrigated to render it productive. 
The water for this purpose is supplied from the lakes, 
rivers and rivulets with which the country abounds. 
For this purpose canals are necessary and are con- 
structed at greater or less expense, according to 
their extent and the nature of the ground where they 
are located. Like the other territories and states lying 
between the Rocky Mts. and the Sierra Nevada, 
Utah has a healthy, mild, but exceedingly dry, cli- 
mate. The mean annual temperature E. of the Wah- 
satch Mts. is from 38° to 44% and W. of that great 
range from 46° to 52°. The rainfall averages abt. 16 
inches, but around the Great Salt Lake approaches 
20 inches. Rain is most abundant in the valleys from 
October to April ; the remainder of the year is dry 
and hot. Spring opens in May and cold weather rai'ely 
sets in before November. The leading and most 
profitable farm products are wheat, barley, oats, 
corn, peas, beans, potatoes and sugar cane. The 
yield of wheat to the acre ranges from 15 to 50 bush, 
and, in exceptional cases, even 60 bush, have been 
realized. The average yield will probably reach 20 
bush. In regard to potatoes, both as relates to the 
yield per acre and the excellence of quality, Utah 
stands without a rival. The fruit crop is of increasing 
importance. Apples, peaches, pears, plums, apricots, 
cherries and grapes of fair quality are raised in abun- 
dance. A brisk trade is done in dried fruits, for 
which a ready market is found in Chicago, (irapes 
flourish best in S. Utah, where wine making is a grow- 
ing industry. Some progress has been made in silk 
raising, for which the cUmate is admirably adapted. 
The principal products for the year 1880, according 
to the census, were 217,140 bush, of barley, 163^342 
of corn, 418,082 of oats, and 1,169,199 of wheat. The 
farm animals were 38,131 horses, 2,898 mules, 3,968 
working oxen, 32,768 milch cows, 58,680 other cattle, 
233,121 sheep, and 17,168 hogs. The approximate 
average yearly wool clip for several seasons has been 
abt. 1,500,000 pounds. A proportion of this is con- 
sumed by the local woolen mills, while the surplus 
finds a ready sale in market carts.— The mineral re- 
sources of Utah are considerable and embrace the 
ores of the principal metals and many of the rarer 
minerals, chiefly lead, silver, gold, and copper. The 
principal obstacles that have retarded the progress 
of mining, milling and smelting have been and still

are the great distance from markets for her mineral 
products and the high railroad tariffs. These are es- 
pecial drawbacks to the mines from which are mostly 
taken the baser metals, such as lead — jjerhaps the 
leading mineral product of Utah. In 1881, according 
to the report of the director of the mint, the pro- 
duction of gold was $145,000, of silver $6,400,000. 
There are several immense deposits of iron ore, very 
rich, and equal to the best (m the continent. The 
principal deposit is in the S. portion of Utah, in 
Iron CO., and is within 50 m. of the Utah Southern 
extension railroad. Close to the iron is an extensive 
body of excellent coal. There are numerous large 
bodies of coal in different parts of the Territory, sev- 
eral of which are either owned or controlled by the 
Union Pacific railroad company. — In 1880, accord- 
ing to the census, there were in Utah 640 manuf. 
establishments, employing 2,495 hands ; capital in- 
vested $2,656,657 ; wages paid during the year 
$858,855; value of materials, $2,561,737; value of 
productions, $4,.334,992. There were in 1882 10 rail- 
roads having 908 m. of road in operation within the 
Territory. The present school system, established by 
law of Feb. 20, 1874, is liberally sustained by the 
people. From the general school tax of 3 mills on 
the dollar an annual revenue of $65,000 is derived. 
The levying of additional school taxation is left to 
local option in the school districts. The percentage 
of school population — children between the age of 6 
and 16 years in regular attendance is 47. This pro- 
portion is exclusive of that in attendance at private 
schools, of which there is quite a large number. The 
higher institutions of learning are the Deseret uni- 
versity, the Brigham Young academy at Provo, the 
St. Mark's school, the Rocky Mountain conference 
seminary, and Morgan college. — The Territory is 
divided into 24 cos., viz.: Beaver, Box Elder, Cache, 
Davis, Emery, Garfield, Iron, Juab, Kane, Millard, 
Morgan, Pi tjte, Rich, Salt Lake, San Juan, San Pete 
Sevier, Summit, Tooele, Uintah, Utah, Wasatch, 
Washington, Weber. The principal towns are Salt 
Lake City (the cap.), Ogden, Spanish Fort, Brigham 
City, Beaver City, and Corinne City. — A governor, 
secretary, and supreme court judges are appointed 
by the president, and there is a legislative body, 
consisting of 13 councillors and 26 representatives. 
In 1881, the assessed value of taxable property was 
$25,579,234. — The mass of the people are Mormons, 
or Latter day Saints, who were the pioneers of this 
entire region, having come here in 1847, under the 
leadership of the late Brigham Young, when the 
Territory, then belonging to Mexico, was a desert, 
inhabited only by a few half-naked Indians. They 
constitute probably over 5-6 of the pop., and are 
mainly engaged in agriculture, stock-raising and 
manufacturing. They are orderly, thrifty and indus- 
trious. The non-Mormon pop. are mostly engaged in 
mining, merchandising and general business. Utah 
was ceded to the U. States in 1848, and a territorial 
government was established, Sept. 9,1850. The revela- 
tion of polygamy was not adopted by the Mormons 
until Aug. 29, 1852. They now confront the move- 
ments made against it through general public agen- 
cies and in congress with undaunted determination 
and unabated zeal in seeking proselytes. Within 
their own Territory, the adherents of the Mormon 
system are kept under the strictest discipline and in 
a condition of constant readiness for united action 
to resist the effect of any measure that may be direct- 
ed against the institution which they hold to be par- 
ticular, while their missionaries are active abroad 
gaining converts and seeing to their transportation 
to Utah. The missionary organization of the Mor- 
mons is one of their strongest arms, and is the insti- 
tution to which more, perhaps, than to any other 
single instrumentality, they owe the solid strength 
which they have manifested too often and too con- 



stantly against all hostile demonstrations. The mag- 
nates of the church decide how many missionaries 
shall go forth ; the number is apportioned as is 
thought best, and nominations are made by the 375 
presidents and bishops, to be confirmed by the popu- 
lar vote of all the brethren gathered at the great 
April and October conferences in Salt Lake City. 
Apparently, no discrimination is exercised in making 
the nominations, and no appeal is admitted from the 
appointment. Every missionary goes at his own 
charges, and no provision is contemplated by the 
Church for his family or his business during his ab- 
sence. In 1880, the semi-centennial year of the Mor- 
mon church, the number of elders sent out as mis- 
sionaries was 216 ; in 1881, it was 189, besides 79 who 
were sent to Arizona. Estimating the average dura- 
tion of an elder's time to be two years, we have a 
total of about four hundred Mormon missionaries 
abroad at any given date. The number of converts 
gathered in by these missionaries can not be so ex- 
actly calculated. About 28,740 were brought in be- 
tween 1840 and 1860. Within the next decade about 
25,000 sailed from Europe to Salt Lake City and 
about the same number between 1870 and 1882. The 
whole number from the first shipload, in 1840 to 1882, 
may thus be estimated at abt. 85,000. The annual 
increase from emigration is not far from 2,000. Pop. 
in 1850, 11,380 ; in 1860, 40,273 ; in 1870, 86,044 ; in 
1880, 143,963 (of whom 74,509 males, and 69,454 fe- 
males, 99,969 natives and 43,994 of foreign birth, 
142,423 whites, 232 colored, 501 Chinese, and 807 
Indians).

the soil is generally fertile and well cultivated. There 
are valuable gold mines. The chief prod, jn 1880 were 
125,685 bush, of wheat, 50,264 of oats, 41,310 of corn, 
and 47,561 of barley. Cap., Provo City. Val. of tax- 
able prop. abt. $2,000,000. Pop. 17,918 (of whom 4,-

— a lake in above co., in lat. 40° 15' N., Ion. 111° 45' 
W'. Its altitude is 4,475 ft. above sea level ; its length 
from N. to S. is 25 m.; its extreme width 13 m.; its 
area 150 sq. m. It is the largest body of fresh water 
in the territory, and has no island. The valley in 
which it lies is part of a great trough formed by the 
uplift of the Wahsatch range of mts. at the E. and 
the Oquirrh, Lake, and Tintic ranges at the W. The 
eastern range is the loftier, and all the tributaries of 
the lake come from that side. Its outlet is the river 
Jordon, which is 45 m. in length, and flows N. into 
Great Salt Lake. Utah Lake abounds in trout and 
other fish, and is visited by a great variety of water 
fowl. 

lJtalis,or UTES,a tribe of Indians of the Shoshone 
family, living in N. Mex., Utah, Col. and Nev. They 
practise hunting and fishing, and also live largely 
upon berries, roots, and herbs, and possess a few 
horses, but rarely engage in agriculture. They num- 
ber abt. 15,000, and sold in 1872 most of their lands 
to the U. S. government, retaining a large reserva- 
tion in the S. W. corner of Colorado. The men wear 
long braided cues, while the hair of the women is 
short. Most of the work is made by women, and 
the Indians in some bands sell their wives and 
children to neighboring tribes. They are filthy 
in their habits, and their arms range from the origi- 
nal club, bow, and lance to good rifles.

Vermont (from the French vert green, and 
mont mountain), one of the New England States, 
bounded N. by Canada, E. by New Hampshire, S. 
by Massachusetts, and W. by New York. It is situa- 
ted between lat. 42° 44' and 45° N., Ion. 71° 33' and 
73" 25' W. The length from N. to S. is 158 m., the 
bfeadth between 40 and 90 m., and the area 9,135 sq. 
m. The Green Mts. extend through the whole length 
of Vt., but above the 44th parallel it divides into two 
chains, one maintaining the same direction (N. 
by E.) with the lower portion, and extending into 
Canada; the other, turning N.E., extends to the 
N.H. line, and finally loses itself in the Canadian 
highlands on the W. border of Me. This last range, 
beginning at Killington Peak, forms the watershed 
between the affluent of the upper Conn, and the 
streams flowing N. or W. into Lake Champlain, and 
the lower portion fulfills a similar office between the 
waters flowing into the Hudson and those tributary 
to the Conn. The Green Mts. are not granitic, at least 
in the surface-rocks, and their rounded, grassy sum- 
mits afford a marked contrast to the sharp, cold, and 
bare summits, of the White Mts. in the adjacent 
State. None of the summits attain the height of 
some of the White Mts., and their is a considerable 
diversity of statement in regard to the actual height 
of the principal summits. Prof. Guyot gives the fol- 
lowing figures in regard to the higher summits : 
Mount Mansfield, three summits, the "Chin "and 
"Nose," 4,430 and 4,094 ft.; the " Forehead " or 
South Peak, 3,934 ft.; Killington Peak, 4,221 ft. ; Kil- 
lington Dome (Pico), 8,954 ft.; Camel's Hump, 4,088 
ft.; Equinox Mt., 3,872 ft.; Shrewsbury Peak, 3,845 
ft.; Green Peak of Eolus Mt., 3,148ft.; Lincoln Mt., 
4,078 ft.; Mount Steriing, 3,700ft.; Hogback Mt., 3,- 
€48 ft.; Jay Peak, 4,018 ft.; B.ald Mt., 3,^124 ft. Mount 
Ascutney is a detached mountain 3,320 ft. high, and 
commands a noble landscape. The E. part of the 
State is drained by the Connecticut R. and its numer- 
ous affluents ; the N. portion sends some small 
streams to Lake Memphremagog, but the principal 
rivers of the W. part of the State, the Missisquoi, 
Lamoille, Winooski or Onion II., and Otter Creek, 
with their tributaries, are feeders of Lake Champlain, 
while Hubbardton Creek and Poultney R. fall into 
the S. aim or extension of the lake. The Hoosae, 
Battenkill, and other small tributaries of the Hudson 
drain the S.W. corner of the State. Besides Lake 
Champlain, which forms so larere a part of the W. 
boundary of the State, and Lake Memphremagog, 



which is partly in Vermont and partly in Canada, 
there are nearly 100 smaller lakes or ponds, some 
of them of considerable size and beauty, in the State 
The principal are Willoughby, Seymour, Maidstone, 
Great Trout Pond, Dummer, Bombazine, and Austin. 
In portions of the State medicinal springs of recog- 
nized value are found. Those of Alhurg, Ilighgate 
Clarendon,Newbury,WilliamstDwn,Har1 ford, Bruns- 
wick and Panton being best known. Their medicinal 
properties are derived from gaseous and not mineral 
substances, and have been found principally effica- 
cious in cutaneous and liver complaints. The climate 
of Vt. is, in general, marked by wide extremes ; the 
winters are cold and long, the summers short and, 
for a few days at a time, hot ; but there are few more 
healthful climates in the U. States. The isothermal 
of 44° annual mean temperature intersects the State 
almost diagonally, entering from the N.W. corner 
and dipping down to near the central portion of the 
State on the E. In the N.E. the mean annual temper- 
ature is 40° ; in the S.W. Hnd S. it is abt. 46°.— The 
geological formation of Vt. consists chiefly of those 
comprised in the Azoic and Silurian divisions. The 
Devonian formation is represented by a band of lime- 
stone abt. 1 m. wide and 30 m. long, on the E. side 
of the Green Mts. The entire State shows a drift 
formation, and alluvial deposits are found along the 
banks of most of the streams. The Green Mts. are 
principally composed of gneiss and schists, their W. 
base being overlaid by a Ijelt of quartz rock upon 
which rests a bed of crystalline limestone. In the val- 
ley of Lake Champlain the rocks are lower Silurian 
and Primordial. This portion was formerly covered 
by the waters of the ocean, and great quantities of 
sea shells are found in the clay banks of the lake. 
In 1849, the remains of a foss'il whale, 14 ft. long, 
were found imbedded in a clay bed, 8 ft. below the 
surface of the ground, while excavating for the 
Rutland railroad" in Charlotte, abt. U m. E. of the 
lake. Numerous and valuable deposits are found In 
connection with the various formation. The copper 
mines of Vt. rank second in importance to any in the 
country. Those in Orange co. yielded in 1880, 28,037 
tons of ore valued at $469,495. Manganese, hematite 
iron ore, native gold and lead are found in greater 
or less abundance within the entire limits of the tal- 
cose slate region. Chromic iron is also found In con- 
siderable quantities in the serpentine rocks in the 
N. part of the State. In the W. and S.W. portion 
some of the most remarkable beds of porcelain clay 
or kaolin in the world have been discovered and are 
being successfully worked. In her limestone forma- 
tions' Vt. is best known. Extensive quarries of white 
statuary marble, equal to the famous Carrara, varie- 
gated and veined marbles of every shade from the 
deepest black to the most delicate flesh color, unsur- 
passed in richness and variety are already success- 
fully developed on the W^ side of the Green Mts. 
Valuable quarries of argillaceous slate, superior to 
those of Wales ; beds of soap.'^tone and freestone fol- 
lowing the genera! trend of the stratitied rocks 
through the State, andgrauite,syenite and sandstone, 
hio-hlv valuable for building purposes, are all abun- 
dant in different parts of the State.-lhe meadow 
and arable lands of the State are generally fertile, 
and being largely underlaid with a disintegrating 
limestone, vield good crops to the careful tiller ; the 
mountain slopes, where not covered with timber, fur- 
nish rich and nutritious pasturage to the horses, cat- 
tle, and sheep, which are kept in large numbers and 
furnish a considerable share of the wealth of the 
State The forest trees are the evergreens— homlock. 
fir and spruce, and some pine on the mountains, 
oak hickory, beech, birch, elm, sugar, rock, and red 
manle, butternut, basswood, tulip tree, etc.. on the 
lower slopes of the hills, and cedar and jiimi.er in 
the swamps. The sugar maple is the most abundant

of the forest trees of the State, and from its sap a 
a larger quantity of maple sugar and syrup is made 
than in any other State in the'Union. Four-fifths of 
the land in the State are in farms, and nearly three- 
fourths of this are under cultivation. The principal 
prod, in 1880, according to the census of that year, 
were 1,801,600 bush, of com, 314,325 of wheat, 102,- 
456 of rye, 3,185,536 of oats, 306,574 of barley, 348,- 
400 of buckwheat, 3,954,740 of potatoes, and 1,182,- 
930 tons of hay. The farm animals were 75,215 horses, 
283 mules, 18,868 working oxen, 217,033 milch cows, 
167,204 other cattle, 439,870 sheep, and 76,384 hogs. 
—In 1880 there were in Vt. 2,874 manuf. es-

and several mining and quarrying establishments. A 
considerable foreign commerce is carried on with 
Canada through Burlington, which is the port of en- 
try of the U. States customs district of Vermont. 
The value of imports for the year 18S0 was $6,484,- 
684, of exports $1,801,529. There were entered in the 
foreign trade 982 vessels of 126,755 tons, cleared 949 
vessels of 123,695 tons. The total number of vessels 
belonging to the district was 35, of 4,115 tons. The 
total extent of raih-oads in the State amounted to 
614 m. in 1870, and 915 m. in 1882.— A compulsory 
school law was passed in 1867. Every child of good 
health, between the ages of 8 and 14 years, is re- 
quired to attend school for at least three months in 
each year. From 5 to 20 years is the legal school age. 
In 1880 the number of school districts was 2,350, 
children in the State, 92,831, pupils enrolled 77,521, 
teachers 4,452, expenditures for schools $496,169. 
There are three colleges — viz., Middlebury college, 
Norwich university (military) and the university of 
Vermont and State agricultural college. There 
were also 19 incorporated academies, and 19 graded 
schools. The charitable and penal institutions are : 
The Vermont asylum for the insane, at Brattle- 
borough, established in 1834, the reform school, 
at Waterbury, established in 1865, and the State 
prison, established in 1807, at Windsor. — The 
State is divided into 14 cos., viz.: Addison, Ben- 
nington, Caledonia, Chittenden, Essex, Franklin, 
Grand Isle, Lamoille, Orange, Orleans, Rutland, Wash- 
ington, Windham and Windsor. The principal cities 
and towns are Montpelier (the cap.), Burlington, 
Bennington, Vergennes, Springfield and Bellows 
Falls. The general assembly, which meets biennially, 
consists of a senate of 30 members and a house of 
representatives of 249 members (one from each town 
and city). The governor (salary $1,000) and other ex- 
ecutive officers are elected for a term of two years. 
The supreme courts consists of six judges, chosen by 
the legislature, and receiving a salary of $2,500 each. 
There are also county courts for each of the 14 coun- 
ties, courts of chancery and probate courts. Justices 
of the peace are elected for each town. A prohibi- 
tory liquor law is in force, and the liquor-seller is re- 
sponsible for damages done by an intoxicated person. 
Vt. sends 2 representatives to congress, and has 4 
electoral votes. The State debt in 1882 was $155,500. 
The valuation of taxable property (made in accord- 
ance with the "act to equalize taxation" passed in 
1881), was $164,063,669.— Champlaiu, with two other 
French officers, traversed a portion of this territory 
in 1609. The first settlement was made in 1724, at 



Fort Dummer, within the limits of the present to^vn 
of Brattleborough. A settlement was begun on the 
E. shore of Lake Champlain by the French in 1731. 
New Hampshire claimed jurisdiction over the terri- 
tory, and Gov. Wentworth made grants of land to 
settlers in 138 townships. New York also based a 
claim upon the grants of King Charles II., and tried 
to exert her authority. Attempts to dispossess them 
of their lands were resisted by the settlers, who ap- 
plied the "beech seal" (whipping with beechen 
rods) to the New York officers, until none could be 
found willing to serve writs. The " Green Mountain 
Boys " thus defended themselves for several years. 
An amicable adjustment was finally made by the 
payment to New York of $30,000 in settlement for 
all her claims. In Jan., 1777, a general convention 
proclaimed that the territory known as the New 
Hampshire Grants was of right a free and independ- 
ent jurisdiction, to be henceforth called by the 
name of " New Connecticut, alias Vermont." Dur- 
ing the revolutionary war the Green Mountain boys 
bore an honorable and conspicuous part. Vt. was ad- 
mitted to the Union on the 4th of March, 1791. Pop.

Memphis,Tenn.,andon the V.&M., the V.,S.&P.,and 
the M.V.&S.I.RRs., 44 m. W. of Jackson. It has a 
regular line of packets plying the Mississippi R. to 
St.. Louis, a wkly packet to Memphis, a tri-wkly mail 
line to New Orleans, and a large fleet of boats plying 
on the tributaries. It is the first city in size and im- 
portance in the State and the second port of import- 
ance on the Mississippi R. between St. Louis and 
New Orleans. Vicksburg is built on a range of hills 
that skirt the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley from 
Memphis, and touches the river-bank here. It is 
therefore the outlet for the products of the Missis- 
sippi delta and the fertile valleys of the Yazoo, Sun- 
flower, and tributary streams. The leading staple is 
cotton, and the commerce of the city depends mainly 
upon the success of the cotton-crop. Vicksburg has 
a merchants' and cotton exchange, 3 banks. 2 daily, 
2 wkly and 1 monthly paper, a cotton-seed oil-mill 
which ships a large amount of cotton-seed oil, oil- 
meal, and oil-cake to Europe, and several other mills 
and factories. A short distance beyond the city limits 
is the national cemetery, in which are interred 17,000 



Union soldiers, and between the cemetery and the 
city is a stone-quarry giving employment to 150 or 
200 men. Vicksburg was strongly fortified in 1861. In 
Jan., 1861, it was attacked by the U. States naval 
forces from Memphis and New Orleans, but without 
success. In April, 1863, a naval attack was combined 
with the land forces under Gen. Grant who, with a 
close siege and continual assaults, compelled a sur- 
render, July 4, 1863. Vicksburg was situated on the 
E. bank of the river, with a long, narrow neck of 
land forming a sort of peninsula opposite the city. 
During the siege in 1863, Gen. Grant attempted to 
divert the channel of the river through the peninsu- 
la abt. 3 m. below the city, but failed. On April 26, 
1876, the water broke through the peninsula, which 
had been gradually wearing away for years and had 
narrowed to 153 ft. in width, forming a cut-off directly 
opposite the city, so that Vicksburg is now upon a 
lake with an island in front. Pop. 11,814.

Virginia, a S.E. State, bounded W. and N.W. 
by Kentucky and West Virginia, N.E. and E. by 
Maryland, Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, 
and S. by North Carolina and Tennessee. It is situa- 
ted between lat. 36° 30' and 39° 40' N. and Ion. 75° 
25' and 83° 34' W. The extreme length is 425 m., the 
breadth 205 m. and the area, 40,125 sq. m. By its 
natural configuration, Va. presents 6 nearly parallel 
divisions extending in successive gradation across 
the State from N.E. to S.W., and differing in respect 
to geology, climate, soil and productions. The Tide- 
water cowdry is the alluvial and diluvial plain in the 
E. portion of the State, and is divided by the Chesa- 
peake Bay and the large tidal rivers flow into it into 
nine primary and many subordinate peninsulas. No 
part of this region is elevated more than 100 ft. 
above the sea, and considerable tracts are low and 
mairshy. Middle Va., a triangular tract extending 
from a N. and S. line running through Richmond to 
the foot-hills of Southwest Mt., is a wide undula- 
ting plain of no great elevation, through which the 
many rivers which traverse it have cut their channels 
to a considerable depth and are bordered by alluvial 
bottom-lands. Pw^HOH^ncludes both slopes of South- 
west Mtn., and an undulating plain, broken into 
valleys in some portions, extending to the foot-hills 
of the Blue Ridge. It has many small streams, and 
its hills are rounded and fertile. It occupies a belt 
of territory from 18 to 28 m. in width, and extending 
from N.E. to S. VV. through the State. The Blue Ridge 
country is a still narrower belt, parallel with the pre- 
ceding, including both slopes of the Blue Ridge 
Mts., and forming the E. wall of the Valley of Vir- 
ginia. The summits of the Blue Ridge rise to a 
height of 2,.500to 3,000 ft. ; they are mostly dome-like 
and between them stretch, especially in the S., broad 
plateaus. The Valley of Virginia is a part of the 
great Appalachian Valley, lying between the Blue 
Ridge on the E. and the Kittatinny or Endless Mts., 
on the W. It is a broad belt of rolling country, from 
1,200 to'1,600 ft. above the sea, diversified by hills and 
valleys, with many winding streams of water. Its 
soil, underlaid with disintegrating limestones, shales. 



slates, and clays, is very fertile, and it is sheltered by 
the mountams on either side from chilling winds 
ApfMlachia is the region covered by that part of the 
Kittatmny Mtn. range (which has here a score of 
local names) traversing Virginia. It is made up of a 
number of parallel mountain chains, with trough 
like valleys between them, the mountains often run- 
ning 50 m. or more in an unbroken, single, straight 
lofty ridge, with a narrow and equally uniform valley 
alongside ; sometimes the mountains slope gently 
down and the valleys widen. Some of the sharp bold 
ridges rise to a considerable height ; Elliot's Knob 
is nearly 4,200 ft., Warm Spring and Alleghany Mtn., 
abt. 3,500 each. Two points of the Blue Ridge are 
said to be still higher— The Balsam Mtn., in Grayson 
CO., 5,700 ft., and a point near the Tennessee line, 
5,530 ft. Of the numerous rivers which drain the 
State, six-sevenths belong to the Atlantic system, 
and one-seventh to the Ohio and its tributaries; 
and of the latter, a part, as the Holston and Clinch, 
are affluents of the Tennessee ; a part, as the Lousia, 
Russell, and Tug Forks, of the Big Sandy ; while the 
Kanawha or New River flows into the Ohio directly. 
Of the streams flowing into Chesapeake Bay, the 
principal are the Potomac, the Pianketank, the 
York, and the James, one of the largest rivers in 
the State. The Chowan, the Roanoke, and other 
streams fall into Albemarle Sound in North Carolina; 
and the Yadkin joins the Great Pedee and falls 
into the Atlantic in 8.C. Va. is not a country of 
lakes. The largest in the State is Lake Drumniond 
in Dismal Swamp ; but, aside from the great Chesa- 
peake Bay, which forms so large a portion of its 
coast-line, it has a number of small bays and exten- 
sive estuaries at the mouths of its rivers. — Timber 
is very abundant. The hickory, white and black oak, 
ash, chestnut, beech, maple, cedar, pine, etc., grow 
to an enormous size. When oak lands are cleared a 
growth of pines springs up, and when pines are re- 
moved oaks take their places. Fields once cultivated 
if left to themselves, are quickly covered with pines. 
The last census reported 8,294,734 acres of woodland 
upon farms. On the W. borders of the great valley 
of Va. are many mineral springs, some of which 
are celebrated for their medicinal effects. Among 
the most noted are the Buffalo Lithia in Mecklen- 
burg co.; Orkney in Shenandoah ; Rawley in Rock- 
ingham ; Stribling and Variety in Augusta ; Rock- 
bridge Alum, Jordan Alum, Cold Sulphur, and 
Baths in Rockbridge ; Bath Alum, Wallawatoola, 
Warm, Hot, and Healing in Bath ; Sweet Chalybeate 
in Alleghany; Blue Ridge, Coyners, and Daggers in 
Botetourt; Alleghany, Montgomery White Suli)hur, 
and Yellow Sulphur in Montgomery ; and New River 
White Sulphur in Giles.— Va. is rich in minerals 
which are as yet mostly undeveloped. They comprise 
gold, iron, copper, lead, zinc, semi-bituminous and 
bituminous coal,granite,limestone,marble, freestone, 
greenstone, brown stone, brick, and fireclays, 
glass sand, plumbago, manganese, gypsum, mica, 
granite, slate, salt, etc. Gold is found in a belt from 
15 to 25 m. wide and 200 m. long, extending from 
Washington to Halifax Court House. Numerous 
mines have been opened, but their workin|r has not 
been found very profitable. A variety of iron ores 
abound in every natural division of Va., excepting 
the tidewater. The great iron belt, in which are 
found vast quantities of red and brown ores, is in- 
cluded in the Appalachian country. On the slopes 
of the Kittatinny Mts. are found solid masses of 
hematite iron ore, extending to unknown depths 
and presenting the appearance of a thick stratum 
between the sandstone and limestone rocks that 
form the mountains. Among the foot hills at the 
W. base of the Blue Ridge are remarkable deposits 
of brown hematite or h yd rated peroxide of iron, 
which extends nearly 300 m., and whose ore is the

best quality. The production of iron ore for the 
year 1880 was 169,683 tons valued at $384,331. Coal 
abounds in several parts of the State. It is mined in 
Henrico, Powhatan, Chesterfield, Montgomery and 
Wythe cos. The products for 1880 was 40,520 tons 
valued at $92,837.— The climate is on the whole 
mild and salubrious. The tidewater coimtry has 
long and hot summers, mild winters, and is not 
altogether free from malarious diseases. Its mean 
annual temperature varies from 56 to 60 degrees. 
From here westward the mean annual temperature 
decreases, until it sinks down in the higher ])arts of 
the Blue Ridge to 48 degrees. In the Appalachian 
country it rises to over 52 degrees. The rain-fall 
averages, in the larger part of the State from 
40 to 44 inches. — The soils of the first or alluvial 
bottoms deposited by the rivers and estuaries is of 
perpetual fertility. The second bottoms are of ex- 
cellent quality, yielding large crops, but are improv- 
ed by the use of marls or other fertilizers when they 
have been long cultivated. The slope or third ter- 
race, running back to the watershed or head of tide- 
water, is thinner and less fertile, but can be made 
very productive by the use of the marls and shells 
which are close at hand. The ridge-lands of the tide- 
water region are always level and very poor, but by 
the use of manures can be made to produce fair 
crops. Middle Va. has much good and fertile land, 
but it has also much very poor and sterile soil. The 
soils of the Piedmont region, are very fertile, as are 
also portions of the Blue Ridge country ; but where 
the sandstones prevail on the W. slope, they are 
sandy and poor. The greater part of the soils of the 
Valley of Va. are veiy rich and productive. This 
has been called the " garden of America." The val- 
leys in the Appalachian region are generally rich and 
productive, but many of the ridges and mountain 
slopes are sterile. The great staple product of Va. 
from the earliest settlement is tobacco. The wheat 
of the State makes flour which for many years has 
monopolized the tropical markets, because it 'keeps 
better than any other. Corn is raised all over the 
State. Vegetables and fruits, called trucky, con- 
stitute a very large and increasingly valuable item 
in the products of the tidewater counties. In 
this division also the oyster business gives em- 
ployment to thousands of men in catching and 
preparing for market, and canning these bivalves, 
considered the most delicious in the world. The 
chief products for the year 1880, according to 
the census were 7,822,504 bush, of wheat, 5,333,- 
181 of oats, 29,106,661 of corn, 136,004 of buck- 
wheat, 324,431 of rye, 1,394,350 of potatoes, 169,323 
tons of hay, and 78,421,860 lbs. of tobacco. The live 
stock on farms were 218,838 horses, 33,598 mules, .54,- 
709 working oxen, 243,061 milch cows, 388,414 other 
cattle, 497,289 sheep, and 956,451 hogs.— In 1880 Va. 
had 5,710 manufacturine: establishments, employing 
40,184 hands; capital invested $26,968,990; wages paid 
during the year $7,425,251; value of materials, $32,- 
883,933; value of products, $51,780,992. The largest 
item of manufacture is tobacco, of which 32,208,664 
lbs. were manufactured in 1880. Flour and meal 
come next, then iron manufacture, in its various 
stages, cotton, lumber, wooden ware and furniture, 
woolens, sumac, paper, leather, zinc, lead, jute, 
acids, fertilizers, lime, paper boxes, &c. Although 
Va. has in her commodious harbors and deep estua- 
ries great facilities for commerce and shipping, its 
direct trade with foreign countries is not great. It 
has seven custom-house districts, viz.: Alexandria, 
Cherrystone, Norfolk and Portsmouth, Petersburgh, 
Richmond, TappahannockandYorktown. Belonging 
to these districts in 1880 were 1,152 sailing vessels of 
28,610 tons, 107 steam vessels of 8,.545 Ions and 2 
barges of 156 tons. The goods imported from foreign 
countries had a total value of $505,077, and the do- 



mestic goods exported to foreign countries of $19,- 
724,837. There were in 1882, 2,193 m. of completed 
railroad. The State has 3 canals : the James River 
and Kanawha, the Albemarle and Chesapeake, and 
the Dismal Swamp. — A general school law was 
passed July 11, 1870. In 1880 the number of public 
schools was 2,491, pupils enrolled 108,074, average 
daily attendance 65,771, teachers 2,504, value of 
school property $1,088,957. The university of Va., 
located near Charlotteville, Albemarle co., ranks 
in the first class of American universities. The 
Washington and Lee universities, at Lexington, are 
controlled by the Presbyterians. The Virginia mili- 
tary institute, at Lexington, is supported by the 
State in part, and in part by tuition. The agricul- 
tural and mechanical college, at Blacksburg, was 
founded on a donation of land by the general govern- 
ment. The Hampton agricultural and mechanical 
school for freedmen, was founded also on a donation 
of land by the general government. Besides these, 
the following colleges and institutions are in opera- 
tion, supported by tuition and endowments, viz.: 
Randolph Macon, Richmond, Roanoke, Henry, 
Emory and Hampden Sidney colleges ; the Union 
theological seminary, William and Mary college, 
founded in 1692 (the oldest collegiate "institution 
in the country after Harvard college), and the 
Theological seminary at Alexandria. — Va. is divided 
into 100 COS., viz.: Accomack, Albemarle, Alexan- 
dria, Alleghany, Amelia, Amherst, Appomattox, 
Augusta, Bath, Bedford, Bland, Botetourt, Bruns- 
wick, Buchanna, Buckingham, Campbell, Caro-

Stafford, Surry, Sussex, Tazewell, Warren, 
Warwick, Washington, Westmoreland, Wise, 
Wythe, and York. Richmond is the cap. The 
other cities are Alexandria, Lynchburg, Peters- 
burg, and Fredericksburg. The State penitentiary 
at Richmond, is conducted on the "silent system." 
There are three asj'lums for the insane, located at 
Williamsburg, Staunton and Richmond. The institu- 
tion for the deaf and dumb and the blind is at Staun- 
ton. — The legislature which meets annually consists 
of a senate of 43 members elected for 4 years, and a 
house of delegates of 138 members elected for 2 
years. The chief executive power of the common- 
wealth is vested on a governor, who is elected for 4 
years. The other executive officers are elected for 2 
years by the joint vote of the two bourses of the gen- 
eral assembly. The supreme court of appeals has 5 
judges, holding office for 12 years. All judges are 
elected by the legislature. Va. sends 10 repre- 
sentatives to congress and has 12 electoral votes. 
The State election is held on the first Monday 
in November. A convention met at Richmond, Dec. 
3, 1867, for the revision of the constitution, and a 
new constitution was ratified by the people July 6, 
1869. By a constitutional amendment, ratified by a 
large majority in 1874, the township system was 
abolished (1). In 1881 the assessed val. of taxable

for that year was $2,632,345, expenditures $2,152,028. 
The acknowledged State debt, in 1881, was $31,935,- 
432. The Kiddleberger law (Feb., 1882), for readjust- 
ing the debt directs that the debt shall be refunded 
in new 3 per cent, bonds as follows : Consols $14,-

the name of Virginia upon this territory, in honor of 
the virgin Queen Elizabeth. Jamestown, which was 
founded May 13, 1607, claims the honor of being the 
oldest English settlement in America. In 1754 hos- 
tilities began between the French and the English. 
After the defeat of Braddock, in 1775, George Wash- 
ington was i)ut in command of the Virginia troops, 
and gained a militar}' experience which fitted him 
for the command of the continental army for inde- 
pendence. Eastern Va. suffered very severely during 
the revolutionary war, which was virtually termina- 
ted by the surrender, upon her soil, of Lord Corn- 
wallis, Oct. 19,1781. (See Yorktown). An ordinance, 
of secession was passed April 17, 1861, and Rich- 
mond soon after became the capital of the Southern 
confederacy. The citizens of the Western counties 
dissented from this action, and withdrawing, formed 
the new State of West Virginia. On Jan. 27, 1870, 
the government of the State was transferred to civil 
authorities. Pop. in 1790, 747,610; in 1830, 1,211,405;

Helena, and abt. 60 m. by siage N, by E. from 
Monida Station on U.P.RR. It is supported by the 
placer and quartz mines in the vicinity, which have 
yielded abt. $45,000,000. The city contains a court 
house, a jail, a public school house, 2 banks, a wkly 
paper, a public library, and three churches (Episco- 
pal, Methodist, and Roman Catholic).— Virginia City

N.E. San Francisco. It is built at the E. foot of Mt. 
Davidson, which rises 1,622 ft. above the main street 
and 7,827 ft. above the sea. It is regularly laid out on 
a precipitous site, with broad streets and avenues, 
but is destitute of shade trees and unattractive in ap- 
pearance. The pitch of the ground is such that what 
is the first story of a house in front becomes the sec- 
ond or thifd story in the rear, and in looking in any 
direction the eye meets an unvaried prospect of chain 
after chain of interlocked peaks. On Oct. 26, 1875, 
the city was almost entirely destroyed by fire, but it 



has been rebuilt more handsomely than ever, and a 
similar catastrophe provided against with characteris- 
tic energy by the construction of water-works costing 
over $2,000,000. It is lighted with gas, and has 5 pub- 
lic schools (1 high and 4 grammar), a Roman Catholic 
and several private schools,4 bankfc,2 daily,2 wkly and 
1 monthly paper. The chief business is mining. The 
city stands directly over the famous Comstoek Lode, 
and near by, besides several other mines, are the cele- 
brated consolidated Virginia mine and the big bo- 
nanza mine, said to be the richest in the world. The 
principal mines have machinery capable of pumping 
water and hoisting ore from a depth of 4,000 ft. The 
greatest depth yet reached is abt. 2,250 ft. Pop. in

■^Vashington, a N.W. Territory, bounded N. 
by British Columbia, E. by Idaho, S. by Oregon and 
W and N.W. by the Pacific Ocean, the strait of Juan 
de Fuca and the Gulf of Georgia. It is situated be- 
tween lat. 45° 30' and 49" N., and Ion. 117° 10' and 124° 
50' W The length from E. to W. is a50 m., the 
breadth 2:30 m.. and the area, 66,880 sq. m. The grand 
and picturesque Cascade Mts.— the Sierra Nevada of 
California— traverse the territory nearly N. and 8. at 
an average distance of 100 m. from the coast. _ This 
range separates the teritory into an E. and \\ . por- 
tion, differing in climate, soil, "-eological character 
and naturaf productions. W. Wash., besides the 
Cascade Mts., which form its eastern wall, has the 
Coast Range, extending in somewhat disorderly 
masses from the Coast Mts. of Oregon, and trend- 
ino- N W. between Puget's Sound and the Pacific, 
and finally terminating in the bold and lofty head- 
lands of Cape Flatterj'. The S. portion of this range

is low, but W. of Hood's Canal, in Jefferson co., it 
rises to an elevation of 5,000 ft., and in one of its 
summits, Mt. Olympus, to 8,150 ft. The Pacific coast 
is generally abrupt and forbidding except the two 
harbors of Shoalwater Bay and Gray's Harbor, but 
the Straits of San Juan and the extensive inland sea 
known by the general name of Puget Sound have 
some of the best harbors and roadsteads in the 
world. (See Puget Sound.) This W. division of the 
territory is much broken, but it is densely wooded, 
well watered and most of it very fertile, while the 
fine harbors and bays of its central valley make it 
readily accessible to commerce. Central Wash, com- 
prises the summits of the Cascade Mts., the valley of 
the Yakima, and the plateau stretching to the Colum- 
bia R. The mountains on its W. border form an un- 
broken range from 5,000 to 8,000 ft. above the sea, 
and several lofty peaks rise from 2,000 to 6,000 ft. 
higher. The loftiest peaks are Mt. Baker, Mt. Adams, 
Mt, St. Helen's, and Mt. Rainier, which last is 14,444 
above sea-level. Stretching E. towards the Columbia 
R. is a lofty plateau channelled by the valleys of the 
Takima, Methow, Okinapum, and Nehoiatpugun Rs. 
and their tributaries. The Blue Mts., the summits of 
this plateau, rise to 8,000 or 9,000 ft., but near Walla 
Walla sink to 5,000 ft. Its lands are barren, sterile, 
and dry, the river-valleys are very fertile. Much of 
the plateau is scantily wooded. E. Wash, comprises 
the valley of the Columbia and its great affluents, 
the Clark's, Spokane, and Lewis (or Snake) Rs., and 
the Spokane plains or plateau — the latter elevated 
and sterile, and without forests, the former well 
watered, fertile, and containing a sufficiency of tim- 
ber. The«climate of W. Wash, is equable ; in E. 
Wash, it is subjecttogreater extremes. InW. Wash, 
the year may be divided into the wet and dry sea- 
sons. The former lasts from Nov. to March or April, 
during which period drizzly weather prevails ; the 
latter, coveringthe rest of the year, is not absolutely 
dry, showers being not unfrequent. The mean tem- 
perature of W. Wash., derived from observations 
taken near Steilacoom (lat. 47° 10') for four years, is 
as follows : year, 50.8°; spring, 49°; summer, 63..S°; 
autumn, 51.9°; winter,39°; coldest month (January), 
38.1°; warmest month (July), 64.9°. The average 
precipitation of rain ancT melted snow in the same 
vicinit}', derived from observations for six years, is 
as follows ; spring, 11.19 inches ; summer, 3.85 ; 
autumn, 15.83 ; winter, 23.62; year, 53.49. The least 
rain fell in July (0.34 inch), and the most in Dec. 
(9.92). Immediately along the Pacific coast the rain- 
fall is much greater. The thermometer occasionally 
reaches 90° in summer, but the nights are always 
cool. Snow rarely falls to a great depth, and lasts 
but a short time; but little ice is formed. Grass re- 
mains green nearly the entire year, and flowers are 
often found in bloom in midwinter. This extraordi- 
narily mild and balmy climate in a territory situated 
at the extreme N.W. corner of the country is caused 
by a warm current from the China sea which washes 
the N.W. coast of the American continent. Great 
evaporation is c: rried on and the air charged with 
humidity. If it were not for the mountains the air 
would be too hot and humid on the coast for com- 
fort, but the high mountains cool it and make this 
one of the most delightful climates in the Avorld. The 
climate of E. Wash, is much drier, the average an- 
nual rainfall in the Walla Walla valley being only 18 
inches. The mean temperature here is as follows ; 
spring, 52°; summer, 73°; autumn, 53°; winter, 34°; 
year, .53°. Further N. toward the British boundary 
the winters are several degrees colder. The countiy 
is healthful. — Wash, is diversified by mountain, val- 
ley and plain, and more than two-thirds of it is suf- 
ficiently level for settlement and cultivation. Of its 
lands 35,000,000 acres can be farmed, of which 20,000.- 
000 are timber lands. 5,000,000 acres rich alluvial bot- 



tom lands, 10,000,000 prairie and plains, and 9,796,000 
covered by water. A large proportion of the latter is 
well adapted to wheat culture, and all of it to stock- 
raising. The great Columbia R. flows through Wash, 
from N. to S. forming the Walla Walla and many other 
valleys. The Walla Walla is almost wholly in Wash, 
and forms two of its most wealthy cos. This valley 
embraces 8,000 sq. m., and contains 5,120,000 acres 
of land. Its capacity for production of wheat, corn, 
rye, barley and oats is not excelled by any valley in 
the West. It contains 2,000 farms of 160 acres each, 
and produces apples, peaches and grapes of the fin- 
est quality. Its wool commands a premium in the 
markets, and it has water power sufficient to turn all 
the spindles in the world. The principal products of 
Wash, for the census year 1880 were 566,537 bush, of 
barley ,39,183 of corn, 1,571,706 of oats, and 1,921,322 
of wheat. The farm animals were 45,848 horses, 626 
mules, 3,821 working oxen, 27,622 milch cows, 103,- 
111 other cattle, 292,883 sheep, and 46,828 hogs. The 
forests of yellow fir which deeply border the shores 
of Puget Sound, in Wash. T., are undoubtedly the 
finest of the sort in the world . No better timber for 
commercial or domestic uses grows, and nowhere 
does it grow in greater accessible areas. In the log- 
book of the navigator who first sailed into Puget 
Sound is this record ; " I was at once awed with the 
magnificence of the sea upon which the vessel float- 
ed, and next with the magnificence of the surround- 
ing forests from which other vessels could be made." 
Following the discoverer of Puget Sound came the 
trapper, and then the woodsman. The exportation 
of timber for commercial purposes preceded its cut- 
ting for domestic uses. The business gradually ex- 
panded, and by 1860 it became of importance. At 
this time rich lumber firms in San Francisco sent out 
their agents, who prospected the wooded region of 
the sound, and filed upon every valuable foot of 
forest land found, for which the merely nominal 
government rate was paid. The result of that course 
is that a few large firms are able to practically mon- 
opolize the lumber business on Puget Sound, at 
least to the extent of dictating prices for logs and of 
driving smaller competitors from the field. There are 
a number of small local mills on the sound which 
supply the home trade, and nine large export mills. 
These latter have a daily capacity of 855,000 ft., and 
employ over 700 men. Practical mill men estimate 
the annual production of lumber on the sound at 
100,000,000 ft., valued at $1,200,000. The foreign ex- 
ports of lumber from the mills amount in round 
numbers to $700,000 a year, with a rapidly increasing 
trade. Shipments are made to the Sandwich Islands, 
Mexico, Australia, China, South America, and to 
New Zealand. Although millions upon millions of 
feet of timber have been logged, and great waste has 
prevailed, the loss to the forests is hardlj' perceptible, 
so great is their extent. In no case have trees been 
cut more than two miles from the sound and its 
river tributaries. The greatest body of timber and of 
the best quality is still several miles back on the 
foot-hills. Methods of logging and lumber-making 
are eminently wasteful. It is estimated that 5,000,000 
ft. of timber is destroyed for each 1,000,000 ft. of 
marketable lumber produced. An important branch 
of the timber business of Puget Sound is the ship- 
building interest. There is a small yard connected 
with nearly all the large mills where vessels are built 
for the companies, and several quite extensive yards 
where ships are built by contract. In 1882 there were 
18 vessels built, of an aggregate tonnage of 3,937. — 
Coal abounds near Bellingham Bay, Shoakmin R. 
and streams leading into Lake Whatcom. It is ship- 
ped to San Francisco. The production in 1880 was 
145,015 tons valued at $389,046. Gold has been found 
in the water.<3 flowing from the coast range, and rich 
placer diggings exist on the banks and bars of many

rivers. The production of gold in 1881 was $120,000. 
— The finest salmon fisheries in the world are on the 
Columbia R. In 1880, 40,000,000 pounds were caught 
and no less than 22,000,000 cured. Fifteen canneries 
are in operation and they use an average of 1,000 fish 
daily, each fish weighing about twenty pounds. The 
salmon season lasts from April until August and 
gives employment to a large number of persons. The 
fish commissioner issues licenses to fishermen and 
supervises the hatching establishment. The Oregon 
and Washington fish propagating company is located 
near the confiuence of the Willamette and Clacka- 
mas. — In 1880 Wash, had 261 manufacturing estab- 
lishments employing 1,147 hands ; capital invested 
$3,202,497 ; wages paid during the year, |532,226 ; 
value of materials, $1,967,469 ; value of products, $3,- 
250,134. Excepting lumber, manufacturing is yet in 
its infancy. — The territory constitutes one customs 
district, that of Puget Sound, of which Port Town- 
send is the port of entry. In 1883 the number of ves- 
sels belonging to the district was 123, tonnage 37,072. 
The value of exports for the same year was $876,121; 
of imports $51,076. In 1882, Wash, had 480 m. of rail- 
road in operation, the most important line being that 
of the North Pacific, which divides the territory 
longitudinally, and for over 200 m. traverses its rich- 
est valleys and best timber lands. — A school law was 
enacted by the legislative assembly in 1877. In 1880 
the number of schools was 326 ; pupils 9,585 ; persons 
of school age 24,223 ; school expenditures $114,- 
379. — The territory is divided into 26 cos., viz.: 
Chehalis, Clallam, Clarke, Columbia, Cowlitz, 
Garfield, Island, Jefferson, King, Kitsap, Klikitat, 
Lewis, Mason, Pacific, Pierce, San Juan, Skamania, 
Snohomish, Spokan, Stevens, Thurston, Wahkiakum, 
Walla Walla,, Whatcom, Whitman, Yakima. The 
principal towns are Olympia (the cap.), Walla Walla, 
Seattle, Port Townsend, and New Tacoma. — The 
president appoints a governor, secretary and supreme 
court judges as in the other territories. Legislative 
authority is vested on a council of 9 members and a 
house of representatives of 30 members, elected for 
2 years. The valuation of taxable property in 1882 
was $32,566,897. Wash, was organized from a part of 
Oregon, March 2, 1853. The numerous tribes of In- 
dians are now well behaved. The Nez Perces and 
Spokane tribes have cabins made of skins, and culti- 
vate large fields of grain. All have firearms and 
horses. Hereditary slavery and polygamy are com- 
mon among them. — Pop. in 1860, 11,.594 ; in 1870,

CO., 1 m. S.E. Washington Depot. Pop. of tp. 1,,t89 

'Washington, B.C., the capital of the U. 
States, and the 14th city in the Union in point of 
pop., is situated on the N. bank of the Potomac, in 
the angle between that river and the E. branch, or 
Anacostia R., near the head of navigation, 106 m. 
above its mouth, abt. 290 m. from the Atlantic Ocean, 
via the river and the Chesapeake Bay, and, by rail, 
226 m. S.W. of New York. It was at the suggestion 
of Gen. Washington that this particular site for the 
federal city was fixed upon. The ground on which it 
stands was ceded to the U. States by the State of 
Maryland (See District of Columbia). The city is 
laid out on a magnificent plan, including ,5,000 acres, 
or over 8 sq. m., sufficient to accommodate a million 
of inhabitants or more. The extent of this plan, which 
has caused Washington to be called a city of " mag- 
nificent distances," gave to the place for along time 
a very scattered appearance ; but the rapidity with 
which of late years the city has been built up seems 
to give hopes that the expectations of the original 
founders may be at least partially fulfilled, "ihe 
ground on which Washington stands, has a general 
elevation of abt. 40 ft. above the level of the river, 
with some points still higher. The streets run N. and 
S., E. and W., across which, in a diagonal direction, 
run a series of broad avenues, five of them radiating 
from the capitol, and five others from the white 
house. The avenues and principal streets are from 
130 to 160 ft. wide, and the points at which they meet 
are selected as sites for public buildings. The avenues 
are named from the different States ; the streets, be- 
ginning at the capitol, are designated, those N. and 
S. of it as A North and A South, B North and B 
Sovith, etc., and those E. and W. of it as First E., First 
W., Second E., Second W., etc. Pennsylvania aveime, 
extending abt. 1^ m. from the capitol to the white 
house, is the busiest and the most fashionable street 
in the city. The capitol, standing on Capitol hill, 
near the centre of the city plot, is the most strik- 
ing building in the city, and the first object 
that fixes attention on approaching it. Elevated 
90 ft. above tide-water, it commands an exten- 
sive view of the city and surrounding country. It 
consists of a main building 352 ft. long and 121 ft. 
deep, and two wings, or extensions, each 2:38 by 140 
ft. Its whole length is 751 ft. 4 in., and the area 
covered rather more than 3J acres. The material of 
the central building is a light yellow freestone 
(painted white), but the extensions are pure white 
marble. The surrounding grounds, winch are beauti- 
fully cultivated, and embellishcMi with fountains and 
statuary, embrace abt. .50 acres and arc known as E. 
and W. grounds. The main front is toward the E. 
and is adorned with three grand porticoes of Corin- 
thian columns. The W. front projects 8.3 ft., and is 
embellished with a recessed portico of 10 columns. 
The bronze door, which forms the entrance to the ro- 
tunda from the E. portico was designed by H. Rogers, 
cast by Von Muller of Munich, weighs 20,0(10 lbs., 
and cost $30,000. The rotunda is 96 ft. in diameter, 
and 180 ft. high. The dome rises over the rotunda in

the centre of the capitol, and is the most imposing 
feature of the vast pile. Externally, it is 135i ft. in 
diameter, and rises 241 ft. above the roof of the main 
building, 307i ft. above the base-line of the building, 
and 377 ft. af30ve low tide. The lantern above the 
dome, 17 ft. in diameter and 52 ft. high, is sur- 
mounted by the tholus, or ball, and this in turn by 
Crawford's fine bronze statue of Liberty, 19J ft. high. 
A S. doorway in the rotunda leads to the old hall of 
representatives, now used as a national statuary hall. 
This, room, the noblest in the capitol, is semi-circular 
in form, 96 ft. long and 57 ft. high to the apex of the 
ceiling. The 24 columns which support the entabla- 
ture are of variegated green breccia, or pudding- 
stone, from the Potomac Valley ; and the ceiling is 
painted in panel, in imitation of that of the Pan- 
theon at Rome. Light is admitted through a cupola 
in the centre of the ceiling. The corridor to the S. 
leads to the present hall of representatives, the finest 
legislative chamber in the world, 139 ft. long, 93 ft. 
wide, and 36 ft. high. The senate chamber, reached 
by the corridor leading N. from the rotunda, is some- 
what smaller than the hall of representatives, being 
1134 ft. long, 804 ft. wide, and 36 ft. high. It is very 
tastefully fitted up. The visitors' galleries are 
reached by marble stairways, which are among the 
most striking architectural features of tlie capitol. 
The supreme court-room, is reached by the corridor 
leading N. from the rotunda. It is a semi-circular 
apartment, 75 ft. long and 45 ft. high, decorated with 
rich Ionic columns of Potomac marble. Underneath 
the room is the apartment devoted to the law library, 
containing 30,000 volumes. The library of cougress 
is reached by the corridor from the W. door of the 
rotunda. It occupies the entire W. projection of the 
capitol ; the main room is 91 ft. long and 34 ft. wide, 
ceiled with iron, and fitted up with fire-proof cases. 
The collection, which is the largest in the U. States, 
now numbers nearly 400,000 volumes, exclusive of 
pamphlets, and is increasing at the rate of 10,000 
or 15,000 volumes a year. All copyright books are, 
by law, required to be deposited in this library. The 
total cost of the capitol was $13,000,000.— The U. 
States treasury, at corner of Penn. avenue and 15th 
street, is a magnificent building in the Ionic style, 
468 ft. long and 264 ft. wide, 3 stories high above the 
basement, erected at a cost of $6,000,000. — Just W. 
of the treasury is the executive mansion, usually 
called the " white house." It is of freestone, painted 
white, 170 ft. long and 86 ft. deep, two stories high, 
with a portico on the N. side (main entrance), sup- 
ported by 8 Ionic columns, and a semi-circular col- 
onnade on the S. side of 6 Ionic columns. — At the W. 
of the white house is the vast and ornate building of 
the State, war and navy departments, of granite, in the 
Roman Doric style, 567 ft. long and 342 ft. wide, 4 
stories high, with lofty Mansard roof. The hall of 
the secretary of State, the ambassadors' saloon, and 
the library, containing 30,000 volumes, are splendid 
rooms. — The office of the department of the interior, 
better known as the patent office, is a grand Doric 
building of marble, freestone, and granite, occupjing 
2 blocks in the central portion of the city, 453 ft. long 
and 331 ft. wide, including porticoes, and 75 ft. high. 
The model room occupies the entire upper floor of 
edifice, forming 4 large halls or chambers unequalled 
for extent and beauty on the continent. The total 
length of this floor is 1,350 ft., or rather more than 
a quarter of a mile ; and it is filled with cases con- 
taining immense numbers of models representing 
every department of mechanical art. — The general 
post-office, opposite the patent office, is an imposing 
edifice of white marble in the Italian or modified Co- 
rinthian style, 300 ft. long, 204 ft. wide, and 3 stories 
high, erected at a cost of $1,700,000. — The department 
of agriculture occupies a spacious brick and l)rown 
stone building in the Renaissance stvle, situated on 



the mall. It contains a library, a museum, an her- 
barium (with 25,000 varieties of plants), and extensive 
greenhouses. — On the mall also is the Smithsonian 
institute, a beautiful red sandstone building in the 
Romanesque style, 447 by 150 ft., with 9 towers rang- 
ing from 75 to 150 ft. in height. This noble institu- 
tion was founded by James Smithson, an English- 
man, " for the increase and diffusion of knowledge 
among men." It contains a museum of natural his- 
tory with numerous specimens arranged in a series 
of spacious halls ; and metallurgical, mineralogical, 
and ethnological collections, with many curiosities. 
—The U. States naval observatory (lat. 38° 53 8" N., 
Ion. 77° 3' 1.8" W. of Greenwich), occupies a com- 
manding site on the bank of the Potomac, with hand- 
some grounds embracing 19 acres. It was founded in 
1842, and is now one of the foremost institutions of 
the kind in the world. It possesses many fine instini- 
ments, and a good library of astronomy. — Other note- 
worthy national buildings and institutions are the 
signal office, the headquarters of the weather bureau; 
the army medical museum, containing 16,000 speci- 
mens, illustrating every species of wound and dis- 
ease ; the ordnance museum ; the U. States pension 
office , the census office ; the U. States arsenal ; the 
navy yard ; the U. States coast survey; the naval 
museum ; the marine barracks ; and the marine hos- 
pital. — Among important buildings not belonging to 
the government are the court-house, the Masonic 
temple, the Odd-Fellows hall, the Lincoln hall, and 
the spacious Washington market. The only pubhc in- 
stitution devoted exclusively to the fine arts is the Cor- 
coran gallery of art, on the corner of Penn. avenue 
and 17th street, founded by the liberality of W. W. 
Corcoran of Washington, erected in 1859 from designs 
by Renwick, and opened with a collection of paint- 
ings, statuary, bronzes, and casts from the antique in 
1873. Charitable institutions abound in Washington, 
and many of them have received continuous or occa- 
sional aid from the treasury by act of congress. The 
chief places of amusement are Ford's opera-house, 
and the National theatre. The principal hotels are the 
Arlington, Ebbitt house, Willard's, Riggs house, the 
National and the Metropolitan. The city has abt. 125 
churches, divided between 15 different religious de- 
nominations. The manuf. interests of Washington 
are very small, the prosperity of the city depending 
upon the presence of the national government, which, 
besides abt. 5,000 officers and clerks in government 
employ (most of whom having families), draws to 
Washington an annually increasing number of citizens 
for motives of interest and curiosity, while its mild 
and salubrious climate in the winter season renJers 
it an attractive resort for persons of wealth and leis- 
ure from all quarters. There is, therefore, an exten- 
sive local market for goods and commodities of all 
kinds, which is met by a large and excellent variety 
of stores of merchandise. Georgetown is an old and 
picturesque town, distant but 2 m. from the capitol, 
and divided only by Rock Creek from Washington^ 
City, with which it is connected by 4 bridges and 2 
lines of horse- cars. The town is beautifully situated 
on a range of hills which comm.and a view unsur- 
passed in the Potomac Valley. It is the port of entry 
of the district, and a line of steamships plies between 
it and New York. Washington contains 5 nat. and a 
number of other banks ; and 44 newspapers and 
periodicals, of which 5 daily. The public schools form 
part of the free school system of the district. There 
are several colleges or universities, the chief of which 
are — Columbian universitj', with its law and medical 
department and preparatory school of over 100 pupils; 
Gonzaga college (Roman Catholic) ; Howard univer- 
sity for colored youth ; and the law school of the 
National university. The metropolitan police force 
has jurisdiction throughout the District of Columbia; 
the fire department is also coextensive with the dis-

West Point, N. Y., p.v.# in Highland tp., 
Orange co., on the W. bank of Hudson R., at its 
passage through the Highlands, opposite Garrison's 
Station on N.Y.C.&H.R.RR., which is 49 m. N. of 
New York City. This is the site of one of the most 
important fortresses during the revolutionary war, 
and is now the seat of the U. States Military School, 
organized in 1802. During the war, this post was em- 
phatically the key of the country, as it commanded 
the river, and prevented the British from holding 
communication with their provinces in Canada. At 
this point, the hill, composed of huge crags and 
blocks of stoue,protrudesto the middle of the river, 
impelling the current towards the opposite bank, 
and reducing the channel to less than half a mile in 
breadth. This natural formation was eminently fav- 
orable to the object of the fortifications erected here. 
The cliff selected for the fortress rises from the river 
in 3 retreating terraces ; upon the third of which, 
188 ft. above the water, and spreading out into a plain 
of more than a mile in circumference, old Fort Clin- 
ton was erected. Upon some of the eminences i-ising' 
still higher in the rear, redoubts were erected cover- 
ing this fort ; one of which was Fort Putnam, at the 
height of 598 ft. above the river, the ruins of which 
are still seen. On Constitution Island, which is a 
mass of rock, towards the opposite side of the river, 
works of strong defence were also constructed ; and 
a heavy chain, supported by buoys, was stretched 
across the angle made by the river, forming an effec- 
tual bar to the passage of the enemy's ships. The 
British had a strong desire to possess themselves of 
this important post ; and its surrender, as is well 
known, was to have been the first fruit of Arnold's 
treason, which was providentially prevented by the 
detection of Major Andre, and the discovery of the 
correspondence in his possession. 

These grounds, now occupied by the national Mil- 
itary Academy, were ceded to the U. States govern- 
ment, by the State of New York, in 1826. Here are 
erected, for the purposes of this institution, two 
stone barracks, one 3 and the other 4 stories high, 
with accommodations for 250 cadets, the number au- 
thorized to be received by law ; also a large 3-story 
building, 275 ft. long by 75 ft. wide, for the recita- 
tion and drawing rooms, for military exercises in 
winter, and for a depository of apparatus, models, 
&c. Besides these, there is a beautiful stone build- 
ing, 2 stories high, 1.50 ft. in lejigth by 60 in width, 
in the Gothic style of the pericVd of Elizabeth, de- 
signed for the library and philosophical apparatus, 
with an astronomical observatory upon one of the 3 
towers with which the N. front is ornamented ; a 
chapel, a hosjiital, a mess hall, and 17 separate dwell- 
ings for the otKcers of the institution, with many 
other necessary buildings. There is a spacious hotel, 
finely situated at the brow of the hill, built of stone, 
surrounded with a beautiful piazza for promenade, 
and commanding in front a full view of the plain 
and buildings of the academy, and in the rear a most 
enchanting jiros|)ect of the river and Highlands. 
During the months of July and August, tlie cadets 
leave their barracks, and encamp upon the plain ;

"West Virginia, one of the central States 
bounded N.W. by Ohio, N.E. by Pennsylvania and 
Maryland, S.E. and S. bv Virginia and S.W. by Ken- 
tucky. It is situated between lat. 37° 5' and 40 Si 
N Ion 77° 40' and 82° 35' W. The extreme length 
from N.E. to S.W. is 270 m. and the breadth 125 m. 
Between the Ohio R. and Pennsylvania is " the Pan 
Handle," a narrow strip which extends abt. one de- 
gree further North, but has in some places a width 
of only 6 m.; area, 24,(>45. The State is without ex- 
ception hilly and mountainous, to such an extent, 
indeed, as to win for it the sobriquetof "Ihe Moun- 
tain State," and to have suggested to its founders the 
motto '' Montani semper liber U' The hills are very 
fertile to their tops, which are cultivated, and i>re- 
sent a remarkable growth of grass. The soil, being 
clay, does not wash away. The Alleghany rau£ ex- 
tends along the E. border, and presents the highest 



levels in the State, Its peaks having an averaee ele- 
vation of 2,500 ft. The •' Summit" reaches a lieieht 
of 2,650 ft. Nearly parallel to the .MIeghanies on the 
West, and di.'^tant f rom 20 to 40 m., is a scric* of 
ridges and mountains which might jiropcrlv be 
termed a continuation of the Cuinlierland mountains 
embracing what are locally known as Flat Top.Cottoii 
Hill. Greenbrier, Gauley, Birch and Rich Mts., Lau- 
rel Hill, &c. The country gradually falls away to- 
ward the Ohio R., which washes the W. boundary 
for abt. 300 m., affording steam navigation for t lie 
whole distance. Excepting the Potomac, wliidi 
forms a part of the Maryland boundary, and its af- 
fluents; the rivers of W.'Va. arc tributary to tlie Ohio 
whose principal affluents are the Guyandottc, the 
Little Kanawha, the Great Kanawha, the Big Sandy 
and the Monongahela, all of which are nayigablc. 
Flowing into the Great Kanawha are the Greenlirier, 
Gauley, Elk and Coal Rs. In the mountains of Ran- 
dolph CO. are the sources of the Monongahela, whose 
chief affluent is the Cheat R. In the N.E. part of 
the State the North and South blanches of the Poto- 
mac flow N. to form that river, which constitutes the 
N.E. boundary for 100 m. All the above streams af- 
ford water power of unusual abundance. The valley 
of the Great Kanawha is the finest grazing region of 
the State. Blue grass is indigenous. Alioiit two- 
thirds of W.Va., is covered with forests. Large 
quantities of ginseng have been shii)ped from the 
State. The lumber trade is impoi'tant. The chief 
kinds produced are oak, i)0))lar, and hemlock, which 
abound throughout the State exce])t on a few high 
levels. Next in importance, though not so abundant, 
are walnut, cherry, bnttonwood. ash, <hc>timt, and 
locust. — The mineral wealth of tlie St;it(' can scarcely 
be over-estimated. One-thirteenth of tlie entire area 
of the U. States and 28 per cent, of the Ap])ahichiau 
coal system lies within W.Va. This State has 16,000 sq. 
m.of coal area, including bituminous coal, caiinel coal 
and "splint" coal, while Pennsylvania witli much 
larger surface has but 12,700 sq. m. The thickness of 
the veins in W.Va. is also greater tlinii elsewhere, but 
much of these are unavailable fur want of means of 
transportation, and mines have been opened in only a 
small part of them. Extensive mines arc at Wheeling, 
and below on the Ohio ; in Harrison, Preston and 
.Mineral cos., on the Baltimore and Ohio i;^ilroad, 
and in Kanawha and adjacent cos , on the Chesa- 
peake and Ohio road. For the year 1880 the product 
of coal-mines in 28 counties was 1,792.570 tons valued 
at$l,971,847. The mineral next in industrial value and 
importance is iron, which is of almost every known 
variety of ore, and found in more than two-thirds of 
the counties. In 1880 the iron ore mined in 6 cos. was 
60,371 tons valued at $88,575. Salt abounds in various 
sections, and its manufacture is a leading industry in 
several counties. The product for the census year 
1880 was 2,679,438 bush, valued at $380,369. Petro- 
leum abounds in a large portion of the State, but its 
development is scarcely begun. Near tlie \\ est center 
of the State, in Ritchie co., is a bed of asphaltum or 
solidified petroleum, which yields a superior oil of 
30° gravity. Marble, common limestone, ahmi, fire 
and potter's clays, and various valuatile stones are 
common to many i>arts of the State. A valuable 
natural product of the State is its mineral water. 
Several of the sprinffs. as the Berkeley, in Moriran 
CO White Sulphur, in (Jreenbrier co., and Burning, 
in Wirt co., have acquired a national reputation. 
There are almost countless others le.«s famed only 
because less accessible.— The climate has no irrcat ex- 
tremes either of heat or of cold. The mean annual 
temiierature of the Slate, as deduced from forty 
years' observations, is that of Marietta, O.. which Is 
in the lat. of the middle of the State, and only sci)a- 
rated from it by the Ohio R. It is 52° 46 . The warm 
season is long, but the heat is not intense. Plough-

ing and planting begin, except in the most moun- 
tainous districts, from Mar. 15 to April 1, and the 
first white frosts occur from Oct. 1 to 15, but cattle 
are not housed or fed from Mar. 15 to Nov. 15. — The 
soil varies in depth from 3 or 4 to 20 or 30 ft., and in 
the valleys may well be said to be inexhaustible. The 
diluvium from the adjacent hills furnishes every 
mineral and chemical ingredient necessary for the 
plant-growth, and rarely is the use of artificial fer- 
tilizers known in the State, and never outside of the 
long and densely settled sections. The soil produces 
the heaviest timber and the richest crops with re- 
markably little cultivation, and excels in reliability 
and endurance the richer black soils of the Western 
prairie. Even among the mountains there is said to 
be little land which might not be made productive. 
The chief agricultural products for the year 1880 were 
as follows : —

Wool, butter, maple sugar and molasses, sorglium 
molasses, and honey are also largely produced. Farm 
animals, as given by the census of 1880 were 127,092 
horses ; 2,425 mules ; 183,118 milch cows ; 237,.354 
oxen and other cattle ; 660,550 sheep ; and 504,300 
hogs. — According to census returns W.Va. had, in 
1880, 2,375 manuf. establishments, employing 14,311 
hands; capital invested, $13,883,390; wages paid 
during the year, $4,313,965 ; value of materials, 
$14,027,388 ; value of products, $22,867,126. The prin- 
cipal items of manufacture are flour, iron forged and 
rolled, pig iron, nails and spikes, castings, lumber, 
and salt. Wheeling and Parkersburg are interior 
ports of delivery belonging to the U. States customs 
district of Louisiana. In 1882 the State had 711 m. of 
railroad in operation. The Ohio and Chesapeake 
Canal, extending along the Potomac, has a course of 
100 m. across W.Va.; and the James River Canal is 
designed to extend through to the Great Kanawha R. 
— The free school system of the State is in very effi- 
cient operation. For school purposes each co. is 
divided into districts (corresponding with the town- 
ships in other States), and each of these into sub- 
districts. Each district is controlled by a board of 
education consisting of a president and two com- 
missioners, and each sub-district is under the manage- 
ment of one trustee. These officers are chosen by the 
electors of the district every two years. Educational 
statistics for 1881 were given as follows : number of 
schools, 3,703 ; children of school age, 213,441 ; chil- 
di'en attending school, 141,132 ; teachers, 4,327 ; value 
of school property, $1,743,929; expenditures for 
schools, $775,032. The State normal school, at 
Huntington, Cabell co., has 5 branch normal schools, 
viz.: Fairmont, Marion co.; West Liberty, Ohio co.; 
Glenville, Gilmer co.; Shepherdstown, Jefl^erson co.; 
and Concord, Mercer co. The West Virginia uni- 
versity at Morgantown, opened in 1867, embraces six 
departments, viz.: 1, preparatory; 2, literary, cover- 
ing a four years' course of studies arranged in nine 
schools, upon the comjjletiou of which the degree of 
bachelor of arts is conferred; 3, scientific, affording 
a four years' course in eight schools, and leading to 
the degree of bachelor of science ; 4, agricultural, 
with a two years' course; 5, military; 6, engineering. 
It had 162 students in 1881. The other colleges are 



Bethany college at Bethany, Brooke co.. West Vir- 
ginia college, at Flemington ; Stone college, at Har- 
per's Ferry ; and St. Vincent's college, a Roman 
Catholic theological seminary at Wheeling. Chief 
among the institutions for the advance instruction 
of women, are the Wheeling female college and the 
Parkersburg female academy of the visitation (Roman 
Catholic). The State penitentiary, at Watson, con- 
tain? 224 cells. There is an asylum for the insane at 
Weston, and an asylum for the deaf, dumb and blind 
at Romney. — The State is divided into 54 cos., viz.: 
Barbour, Berkeley, Boone, Braxton, Brooke, Cabell, 
Calhoun, Clay, Doddridge, Fayette, Gilmer, Grant, 
Greenbrier, Hampshire, Hancock, Hardy, Harrison, 
Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, Lincoln, Logan, 
Marion, Marshall, Mason, McDowell, Mercer, Mineral, 
Monongalia, Monroe, Morgan, Nicholas, Ohio, Pen- 
dleton, Pleasants, Pocahontas, Preston, Putnam, 
Raleigh, Randolph, Ritchie, Roane, Summers, Tay- 
lor, Tucker, Tyler, Upshur, Wayne, Webster, Wetzel, 
Wirt, Wood and Wyoming. The cities are Wheeling, 
(the commercial metropolis), Charleston (the cap.), 
and Parkersburg. — The legislative power is vested 
in a senate of 24 members (one-half of whom are 
elected biennially for 4 years), and a house of dele- 
gates, elected for 2 years. The sessions of the legisla- 
ture are biennial. The executive department consists 
of a governor (salary $2,700) and other officers, elec- 
ted for 4 years. The judicial power is vested in a su- 
preme court of 4 judges, elected for 12 years ; 13 cir- 
cuit courts ; and county courts (one in each co.) com- 
posed of a president and 2 justices of the peace. The 
State is entitled to 4 representatives in congress, and 
has 6 electoral votes. W.Va. has no State debt. The re- 
ceipts from all sources in 1881 (including $253,798.82 
balance of preceding year) were $928,929.36; expen- 
ditures $682,628.51 ; balance in the treasury $246,- 
300.45. The valuation of personal property and real 
estate for 1882 was $146,548,176.— The Blue Ridge 
Mts., marked the W. boundaries of settled Va., un- 
til abt. a century ago. Eastern Virginia possessed 
half a million of population at that time, while 
W.Va., was yet an almost unbroken wilderness. Set- 
tlements were made in Greenbrier and Berkeley cos. 
before the close of the revolutionary war. W.Va., 
began its separate history on the 13th of May, 1861, 
when delegates from 25 cos., met in convention at 
Wheeling and passed resolutions opposing the ordi- 
nance of secession which Va. had passed. On the 11th 
of June representatives from 40 cos. assembled, and 
measures were taken for the establishment of a 
provisional government. The first legislature as- 
sembled at Wheeling July 2. A constitutional con- 
vention met Nov. 26, and the constitution proposed 
was ratified by the people May 3, 1862. An act of 
congress providing for the admission of W.Va., as a 
State was approved by the president on the 31st of 
Dec, 1862. Anew constitution was formed in 1872, 
and ratified by the people on Aug. 22. Pop. in 1870, 
442,014 ; in 1880, 618,457 (of whom 314,495 males and 
303,962 females ; 600,192 natives and 18,2(55 of foreign 
birth ; 592,527 whites, 25,886 colored, 5 Chinese, and 
29 Indians).

Wheeling, W. ra.,a city <f> and port of delivery, 
cap. of the State and of Oliio co., and the most 
popular and most important place in commerce and 
manufactures in the State, is situated on the E. bank 
of the Ohio R. and on both sides of Wheeling Creek, 
which here empties into the Ohio and is crossed by a 
fine stone bridge, 92 m. below Pittsburg, 365 m. above 
Cincinnati. Wheeling is also on B.&O.and P.,C.&St. 
L.RRs., 215 m. W.N.^V. Washington. The hills back 
of the city come so near the river as to leave rather 
a small area for building, so that the city has been 
forced to extend along the high alluvial ground, for 
a distance of abt. 5 m. It is divided into 8 wards, 
but the division most commonly known is that into 
North, East, Centre and South Wheeling, and Zane's 
Island, in the Ohio, which is more than a mile long, 
contains 400 acres, and is connected with the city by 
a fine suspension bridge. The most noteworthy pub- 
lic buildings are the "new capitol and court house, 
the custom house, the theatre, &c. The city has 8 
public schools, in which both German and English 
are taught, 2 seminaries, 22 churches, a public library 
with reading room, 1 nat. and 7 other banks, 2 daily, 
4 semi-wkly and 5 wkly papers. Wheeling is princi- 
pally a manufacturing place, the surrounding coun- 
try containing enormous deposits of bituminous 
coal, which is readily and cheaply obtained, 7 nail 
factories, 5 blast furnaces, a rail-mill, bar and sheet 
iron-mill, several glass factories, 2 paper-mills, and a 
number of foundries and machine shops, 1 hinge 
and 1 tack factory, and several other manufacturing 
establishments are in operation. The trade, however, 
carried on by way of the river and the railroad lines 
is very considerable. A large business is done in the 
building of steamers, 18 of which of 1,981 tons in ag- 
gregate^ were built during the year 1882. The total 
shipping belonging lo the port in 1883 carried of 144 
steam-vessels of 17.330 tons. Wheeling was settled 
in 1774. Pop. in 1870,19,280; in 1880, 30,736.

White Mts., a group of mountains in the 
counties of Coos, Carroll and Grafton, N.H., usually 
regarded as a part of the Appalachian system. In a 
wider sense it begins about the head waters of the 
Aroostook in Maine, its first great summit being Mt. 
Katahdin. It follows a S.W. course to the Andros- 
coggin R., S. of which it spreads out in a broad pla- 
teau, 1,600 to 1,800 ft. in height, 30 m. long from N. 
to S., and abt. 45 m. broad, and bounded S. by the 
Merrimack R. and Squam, Winnipiseogee, and Ossi- 
pee lakes. This plateau, from which rise more than 
200 peaks, and which is traversed by several deep 
narrow valleys, forms the region known to tourists as 
the " White Mts." The peaks cluster in two groups, 
the eastern or White Mt. group and the Franconia 
group, separated from each other by a tableland 
from 10 to 15 m. wide. Mt, Wa.shington is the high- 
est summit of the E. group, and is indeed the high- 
est peak in the U. States E. of the Mississippi R., 
excepting Mitchell's High Dome in N.C. Its height 
is 6,293 ft. The height of some of the other peaks is 
as follows: Pleasant, 4,764 ft.; Franklin, 4.904; 
Monroe, 5,384; Jefferson, 5,714; Adams, 5,794; 
Madison, 5,365. The principal summits of the Fran- 
conia group are Mts. Lafayette (5,259 ft.), Liberty, 
Cherry Mt. and Moosilauke (4,811). Near the south- 
ern border of the plateau rise "SVhiteface Mt., Choco- 
rua peak (3,540 ft.), Red hill, and Mt. Ossip^e ; and 
in the E. Mt. Pequawket, 3,251 ft. N. of the plateau, 
and near the upper waters of the Connecticut R. are 
several considerable summits, of which the twin 
mountains known as the Stratford peaks are the most 
considerable. The most noteworthy of many water- 
falls among the mountains are : the Artist's fall in 
North Conway ; the Silver Cascade, on the side of 
Mt. Webster ;" Ripley's falls, on a tributary of the 
Saco, below the Willcv house, the lower one. Sylvan 
Glade cataract, falling 156 ft. at an angle of 45°, in a 
stream from 50 to 75'ft. wide ; the falls of the Am- 
monoosuck, which in a course of 30 m. deiscends over 
5,000 ft.; the Berlin falls, on the Androscoggin, de- 
scending over200 ft. in the course of a mile ; and the 
Crystal cascade and Glen Ellis fall near the (ilen 
house, on a tributary of the Androscoggin. Then- 
are five "notches," or passages through the moun- 
tains : the White Mt. notch, 1,914 ft. high, 2 ni. 
long, and at its narrowest point only 22 ft. wide, 
through which the Saco K. passes ; the Franconia 
notch, 2,014 ft., which permits the passage of the 
Pemigewasset ; the Pinkham notch, 2,018 ft., through 
which a branch of the Saco and one of the Andros- 
cogffiu find their wav ; and the Grafton and Di.xville 
notches, through which flow the Andro.^eoggin and 
one of its trilmtaries. " The Flume" at Franconia 
notch is the most noted of the narrow waterways ex- 
cavated through the rock, thougli there are other.- 
hardly inferior to it. The White Mis. constitute a 
favorite summer resort, and are remarkable for their 
wild and varied s(•ener^•. Thev are readily accessible

sights of this region is the railway by which a loco-

"fVilmington, Del., city and port of entry. 
New Castle co., on Delaware R., at the junction of 
its affluents, Brandywine and Christiana Creeks, and 
on the P.,W.&B., the D.W., and the W.&N.RRs., 28 
m. S.E. Philadelphia, and 70 m. N.E. Baltimore. It is 
situated in the midst of one of the finest agricultural 
districts in the Middle States. Its site, like that of 
Philadelphia, and of Baltimore, is on the outer edge 
of the primitive formation, and on the inner edge of 
the sea sand alluvion. The city is built on ground 
gradually rising to the height of 113 ft. above^ the 
level of tide water. It is laid out with regularity ; the 
streets, which are broad and airy, cross each other 
at right angles. It is supplied with water from the 
Brandywine, by water-works, like those of Philadel- 
phia. The place is well built ; the houses are gener- 
ally of brick, and many of them are elegant. It has 
abt. 50 churches, and is distinguished for its excellent 
private schools. The Delaware Historical Society, the 
Mechanics' Institute, audthe AVilmingtou Institution 
have libraries, tlie last containing 13,000 volumes. 
The principal public buildings are the city haJl, the 
custom house and post office, a hospital and alms- 



house two market houses. The Wilmington Insti-

Wilm ngton i.s the largest place in Del., and, next to 
Philadeliihia, the greatest mart of trade in the basin 
of the Delaware R. The Christiana admits vessels 
drawing 14 ft. of water to the city ; and those draw- 
ing 8 ft. can come up the Brandywine. Consideral)!.. 
shipping 18 owned here, but WilmingK.n is more dis- 
tinguished for its various manuf. than for its mari- 
time commerce. The falls of the Brandywine in the 
immediate neighborhood, afford a valuable water- 
power, which is rendered available to a great extent 
for the operations of machinery ; applied to flouring 
mills, paper-mills, saw-mills, cotton, woolen, and 
various other manufactories. The flouring-mills at 
Wilmington are among the largest in the I'. States 
The making of gunpowder has been carried on here 
extensively for many years. The city, however, is es- 
pecially noted for the extent and variety of its manuf. 
by steam power, including carriages, niorocco, cars, 
cotton goods, iron castings, iron steamships, plate, 
bar, and sheet iron, engines and boilers, a great 
variety of other articles of iron and steel, phosjjhates 
and sulphuric acid, wooden vessels, boots and shoes, 
leather, &c., and vulcanized fibre, the result of a 
chemical process for utilizing i>aper for various pur- 
poses in which leather, wood, and iron have hereto- 
fore been employed. "Wilmington was the flnst place 
in the country whei'e iron ship- building was cairied 
on, and it is still a leading seat of that industry. In 
the manufacture of passenger ears Wilmington ranks 
first in the country, while it is among the first in its 
annual production of morocco and carriages. The 
city has a police force, and a fire department provided 
with seven steam engines and improved api)aratus. 
There are 4 nat., 2 savings and 5 other banks, 5 daily, 
6 wkly and 4 monthly papers. Wilmington was 
founded in 1733, and was incorporated as a city in 
1833. Pop. in 1870, 30,841 ; in 1880, 43,499.

ton compress compaoy, a cotton factory, 5 saw and 
planing-mills, 9 turpentine distilleries, &c. The city 
is the terminus of 3 railroads, viz. : the W.&W., the W. 
C.&A., and the C.C. The last runs through the S. 
portion of the State to its W. border ; the others con- 
nect with other lines running N. and S. Wilmington 
has an extensive commerce both coastwise and for- 
eign ; the latter has largely increased within the last 
few years. There are regular lines of steamers to 
Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. Vessels 
drawing 16 ft. can load at the wharves , when the 
improvements on the bar now in progress are com- 
pleted, the depth of water will be materially increas- 
ed. The principal articles of shipments are lumber, 
turpentine, rosin, tar, pitch, spirits of turpentine, 
shingles, and cotton. Wilmington has long been the 
leading market for naval stores in the world. The 
value of imports for foreign countries for the year 
1882, was $389,647 ; of exports, $5,793,188. The com- 
mercial fleet in the same year consisted of 280 sailing 
vessels of 8,463 tons, and 17 steam vessels of 1,826 
tons. During the civil war, and especially iu 1864, 
Wilmington was the principal confederate port ac- 
cessible to blockade runners. It was laid out in 1733 
under the name of Newton, and was incorporated as 
a city in 1866. Pop. in 1870, 13,446 ; in 1880, 17,350.

styled by the Algonkin tribes Wennibegouk, a teini 
meaning men from the fetid or salt waters, which 
was translated by the French Puants. They were 
formerly enemies of the whites, until after the Black 
Hawk war, in which they took some part, were re- 
moved in 1848 on Blue Earth R., Minn., in 1863 to 
Crow Creek, Dak., and lastly, in the following year. 
they were sent to a reservation of 128,000 acres in

one of the most romantic streams in the country. 
The channels which have been worn in the rocks by 
its ceaseless current are objects of great admiration. 
In its passage through the mountains are found fis- 
sures through solid rocks froin 30 to 100 ft. in depth,

Canada and the Connecticut R., passed up and down 
this stream in their bark canoes ; and as wild onions 
were found on its banks, thej^ called it Winooski,

It turns S.W. at Portage City, and reaches Mississip- 
pi R. , 4 m. below Prairie du Chien. Elevation, 600 ft. ; 
breadth at its mouth, 1,800 ft. Its length is over 600 
in. It is navigable by small steamers to Portage City, 
200 m. above its mouth. At this point it approaches 
within IJ m. of the Fox R., with which it is con- 
nected by a canal. The channel of the Wisconsin is 
much injured by shifting and sand bars. The upper 
part of the river passes through heavy pine forests. 
Several cataracts, of which the most famous are the 
Dalles of the Wisconsin and Grandfather Bull Falls, 
break the course of this picturesque stream. 
— a N. central State, bounded N. and N.E. by Lake 
Superior and the State of Michigan, E. by Lake Mich- 
igan, S. by Illinois, S.W. and W. by Iowa and Min- 
nesota. It is situated between lat. 42" 30' and 46° 58' 
N., and Ion. 87° and 92° 30' W. The length from N. 
to S. is 310 m., the breadth from E. to W. 285 m., 
and the area, 54,450. The State occupies a swell of 
land lying between three notable depressions : Lake 
Michigan on the E., Lake Superior on the N., and 
the valley of the Mississippi on the W. The whole 
surface of Wis. may, with slight exceptions, be con- 
sidered one vast plain, varied only by the cliffs bor- 
dering the rivers and lakes, and the moderate 
undulations called " rolling. " This plain is from 
600 to 1,500 ft. above the ocean. The highest lands 
are those along the sources of the tributaries of 
Lake Superior, which, near the Montreal R., are 
1,700 to 1,800 ft. above the sea, gradually diminishing 
westward to abt. 1,100 ft. at the W. line of the State. 
The cliffs along the E. shores of Green Bay and 
Lake Winnebago extend as far as Iron Ridge in 
Dodge CO., and form a bold escarpment. From this 
ridge the country slopes gradually E. to Lake Mich- 
igan. On this slope there is a remarkable series of 
drift hills and circular depressions called " potash 
kettles," extending S.S.W. from the peninsula E. of 
Green Bay into the State of Illinois ; one of the 
highest peaks in Washington co. is 1,402 ft. above 
the sea.^The Montreal, Bad, Bois Brule, and St. 
Louis Rs. discharge their waters into Lake Superior. 
They are all short, and have a descent of abt. 800 ft. 
in a length of 30 or 40 m. The Menomonee, Peshtigo, 
Oconto, Pensaukee, and Fox or Neenah Rs. run into 
Green Bay. The Kewaunee, Two Rs. (East and West 
Twin), Manitowoc, Sheboygan, and Milwaukee are 
tributaries of Lake Michigan. The Mississippi, as 
already stated, forms a part of the W. boundary of 
the State, and receives within the State the St. Croix, 
Chippewa, Buffalo, Trempealeau, Black, and Wis- 
consin Rs., as well as several smaller streams. 
The Rock, Illinois, Fox, and Des Plaines Rs., all 
tributaries of the Mississippi in 111., drain the 
S. portion of the State. The Wisconsin, St. Croix, 
Chippewa, and Neenah or Fox Rs. are navigable for 
a considerable distance. The State has a coast-line 
of 120 m. on Lake Superior, of 200 m. on Lake Mich- 
igan, and of 400 on the Mississippi and its larger tribu- 
taries. The State abounds in lakes, many of them 
of great beauty. Aside from Lakes Superior and Mich- 
igan, Lake Winnebago is the largest lake in the 
State, being 28 m. long and 10 broad ; it is abt. 170 
ft. above Lake Michigan. Lake Mendota, and many 
hundreds of other lakes, especially in the N. part of 
the State, add beauty to the landscape. Green Bay, 
an arm of Lake Michigan, extends far into the State. 
Superior Bay, St. Louis Bay, and Chequanegon Bay 
project into the State from Lake Superior. The Mis- 
sissippi just before receiving the St. Croix R. spreads 
out in a wide bay known as Lake Pepin, and the St. 
Croix forms a similar expanse of water called Lake 
St. Croix. A number of islands in Lake Superior and 
GreenBay belong to Wisconsin. — The useful mineral 
materials of Wis. come under the head of metallic 
ores and non-metallic substances. Of the first class 
are the ores of lead, zinc, iron and copper ; of the 



second class are the principal substances found in 
brick-clay, kaolin, cement rock, limestone for burn- 
ing into quick lime, limestone for flux, glass-sand, 
peat and building stone. In Wis. lead and zinc are 
found together ; the former has been utilized since 
1826 ; the latter since 1850. The cos. of La Fayette, 
Iowa and Grant— the S.W. cos. of the State— are 
known as the " Lead Region." All the lead and zinc 
obtained in Wis. are from these counties. The lead 
ore is of one kind only — that known as galena. A 
large amount is produced yearly from the various 
mining districts in the lead region. The number of 
pounds raised from single crevices has often been 
several hundred thousand. The zinc ores were for- 
merly rejected as useless, but their value is, beyond 
doubt, very great, and they will be a source of wealth 
to the lead region for a long time to come, as they 
are now extensively utilized. Iron mining in the 
State is yet in its infancy. Numbers of blast furnaces 
have sprung up in the eastern portion, but these 
smelt Michigan ores almost entirely. The several 
ores in Wis. are red hematites, brown hematites, 
magnetic ores, and specular hematites ; the first are 
found in Dodge co. ; the second in Portage, Wood 
and Juneau ; the two last in Bayfield, Ashland, Lin- 
coln and Oconto cos. The product of iron mines for 
the year 1880 was 41,420 tons, valued at $73,000.— 
Although the State extends over 4|° of lat., its cli- 
mate is in no part severe, its temperature being 
greatly modified by Lakes Michigan and Superior, 
which form a large part of its boundary on the E. 
and N. Its mean annual temperature does not vary 
much from 42° F., being on the S. border abt. 45°, 
and at the N. limit abt. 50°. Snow falls in the N. be- 
fore the occurrence of heavy frosts, and continues 
till spring, thus protecting the roots of plants, trees, 
and shrubs from being killed by the frost. The win- 
ters are long and cold, but nearly uniform in tem- 
perature ; the springs backward ; the summers short, 
and usually hot, often dry ; the autumns generally 
mild and pleasant. The extensive forests which 
cover the northern and larger portion of the State 
yield excellent timber, and are a chief source of 
wealth of the State. They consist of basswood, ma- 
ple, hickory, elm, ash, black walnut, butternut, oak, 
birch, poplar, hemlock, cedar and pine. The south- 
ern part of the State is an extensive prairie, without 
native tree or shrub, except on the banks of the 
streams. The prairie soil is a vegetable mould of a 
dark brown color, from one to eight feet deep and 
of great fertility. There is a large proportion of silex 
and but little clay. Good crops are raised from the 
cleared timber lands. Oak openings, where the un- 
dergrowth has been kept down by prairie- fires, af- 
ford some of the finest lands ali'eady prepared for the 
husbandman. The mineral region, in the N.W., is 
not well adapted for agriculture. The principal agri- 
cultural products for the year 1880 were as follows :

most important pursuit in Wis. is manufacturing ; 
foremost in this interest is lumber, of which the pin- 
eries furnish the raw material. The pine region ex- 
tends through the northern counties of the State 
from Green Bay to the St. Croix R. The demand is 
constantly increasing, while the facilities for its 
manufacture are continually enlarging. Over one 
billion feet of logs are cut annually. The lumber mills 
have a capacity exceeding one and one-half billion 
feet. The products of these find their way to 
market, either by the Mississippi and its tributaries, 
by the various lines of raihvays, or through the 
Great Lakes. The other leading articles of manuf . 
are flour, boots and shoes, leather, agricultural im- 
plements, iron castings, carriages and wagons, and 
malt liquors. In the census year, 1880, there were in 
Wis. 7,674 manuf. establishments, employing 57,109 
hands; capital invested $73,821,802; wages paid dur- 
ing the year, $18,814,917; value of materials, $85,796,- 
178; value of products, $128,255,480.— Wis. had in 
in 1882, 3,442 m. of railroad in operation. The State 
possesses besides great facilities for transportation 
by the lakes and rivers which wash its boundaries 
and penetrate its interior counties. The Fox and 
Wisconsin Rs. are connected by the Portage Canal, 
which extends through Portage Citj^, about one mile. 
Important improvements by the national govern- 
ment in these rivers have been in progress for several 
years, by means of which and the constioiction of a 
ship canal it is contemplated to open a channel for 
large vessels between the Mississippi R. and Lake 
Michigan. The U. States customs district of Milwau- 
kee includes all the shores, harbors, and waters of 
Wis. bordering on Lake Michigan. Milwaukee is the 
port of entry, and De Pere, Green Bay, Kenosha, Ra- 
cine, and Sheboygan are ports of delivery. La Crosse 
is a port of delivery in the district of Louisiana. The 
foreign commerce of Milwaukee is considerable, and 
the domestic trade is very extensive. (See Milwau- 
kee.) — The school system of Wis. embraces graded 
schools, to be found in all the cities and larger vil- 
lages ; the district schools, organized in the smaller 
villages and in the country generally : the university 
of Wisconsin (located at Madison), having three de- 
partments — the college of letters, the college of arts, 
and the college of law ; and the State normal schools, 
of which there are four — one at Platteville, one at 
Whitewater, one at Oshkosh, and one at River Falls. 
Subsidiary to these are teachers' institutes held an- 
nually in nearly every settled country, and the State 
teachers' association, which has been organized for 
a quarter of a century. Besides the public schools of 
the State, there are a number of denominational and 
other colleges, the principal of which are Racine col- 
lege, Beloit college, Milton college, Ripon college, 
Carroll college at Waukesha, Laurence university at 
Appleton, St. John's college at Prairie du Chien, 
Galesville university, Northwestern university at 
Watertown, and Pio Nono college at St. Francis Sta- 
tion, south of Milwaukee. There is also quite a large 
number of incorporated academies and seminaries, 
the more prominent ones being the Milwaukee acad- 
emy and St. Mary's institute at Milwaukee, Kemper 
hall at Kenosha, St. Catharine's academy at Racine, 
Rochester seminary. Lake Geneva seminary. Fox 
Lake seminary, Albion academy, Elroy seminary, 
Wayland institute at Beaver Dam, and Santa Clara 
academy .at Sinsinawa Mound. There are also about 
700 private schools in Wisconsin. The public school 
statistics for 1881 were: number of children between 
the agesof 4and20years, 489,142; attendingschool295,- 
162; number of schools, 5,701 ; teachers, 10,040. The 
total receipts for school purposes were as follows : 
Counties, $2,118,349.47 ; cities, $733,849.11 ; total, 
$2,851,698.48. The expenditures were : Counties $1,- 
741,340 ; cities, $560,698.34 ; total $2,302,038.34. The 
State prison at Waupun, in Fond du Lac co., contain- 
70 



ed in 1882 305 convicts, of whom more than 30 were 
sentenced to imprisonment for life. Connected with 
the prison is a school, in which from 40 to 70 of the 
convicts receive instruction. A State hospital for 
the insane was established in 1860 on the banks of 
Lake Mendota, 7 m. from Madison. It had 487 in- 
mates in 1883. Another asylum, near Lake Winne- 
bago, was opened in April, 1873 (inmates 512). The 
institution for the deaf and dumb is at Delavan (in- 
mates 168 in 1882), and the asylum for the blind at 
Janesville (inmates 68). An industrial school for 
boys is in successful operation at Waukesha (pupils, 
372 in 1881).— The State is divided into 64 cos., viz.:

power is vested in a senate of 33 members chosen 
for two years, and an assembly of 100 members elect- 
ed annually. Each member receives $350 a year and 
10 cts. a mile for travel to and from the capital. The 
legislature meets annually on the second Wednesday 
in January. The chief executive and adminstrative 
officers are the governor, annual salary $5,000 ; lieu- 
tenant-governor, who acts as president of the senate, 
($1,000); secretary of State, who is ex officio auditor, 
($5,000); treasurer, ($5,000); attorney-general, ($3,000), 
and State superintendent of education ($1,200) and 
certain allowances. All are elected for two j'ears. 
The State election is held on the Tuesdaj' after the 
first Monday in November. Other State officers are 
three commissioners of school and university lands, 
one of railroads, four of fish and fisheries, three of 
the State prison, and a State board of charities and 
reform composed of five members. The judicial 
power is vested in a supreme court, 13 circuit courts, 
courts of probate, and justices of the peace. The 
supreme court consists of a chief and two associate 
justices. It hasin general only appellate jurisdiction. 
The circuit courts have general original jurisdiction 
in civil and criminal matters, and appellate jurisdic- 
tion over all inferior courts. Judges of the supreme 
and circuit courts are elected by the people for six 
years. Wis. is entitled to 9 representatives in congress 
and has 11 electoral votes. — An agent of the Canadian 
government first visited this region in the summer 
of 1639. On the 14th of June, 1671, the French took 
formal possession of the countries " which are bound- 
ed on the one side by the Northern and Western 
Seas and on the other by the South Sea, including 
all its length and breadth, in the name of the most 
high, most mighty and most redoubtable monarch 
Louis the Fourteenth of the christian name. King of 
France and Navarre." Marquette and Joliet reached 
Green Bay May 13, 1673. They crossed from the Fox 
to the Wisconsin R. and sailed down it to the Missis- 
sippi, which they discovered June 17. The Fi'ench 
jurisdiction was surrendered to Great Britain by the 
treaty of Paris, Feb. 10, 1763. By the ordinance of 
July 13, 1787, all the territory N.W. of the Ohio was 
organized. About the year 1809 the first saw and

grist-mill was built. Wis. became a part of the Ter- 
ritory of Michigan Oct. 16, 1818, was organized as a 
separate territory April 20, 1836, and on the 29th of 
May, 1848, received admission into the Union as the 
29th State. The original constitution of 1848, as 
amended several times, is still in force. The name is 
derived from the Wisconsin R., which near its 
head is called, in the Chippewa dialect " Wees-kon- 
sau," signifying " gathering of the waters." Pop. in

adoption of U. States citizenship by a portion of the

"Wyoming {wi-d ming), a N.W. Territory bound 
ed N.'by Montana, E. by Dakota and Nebraska, S. 
by Colorado and Utah and W. by Utah, Idaho and 
Montana. It is situated between lat. 41° and 45° N., 
and Ion. 104° and 111° W. In form it is a rectangular 
parallelogram, 350 m. long from E. to W., 280 m. 
broad ; area, 97,575. From it a tract of 3,575 m. in 
the N.W. corner has been set apart by congress for 
a National Park. (See Yellowstone). Lying in the 
midst of what is commonly known as the Rocky Mtn. 
range, Wyo. naturally presents itself to the mind of 
one who has never traversed it as a succession of 
wild and rocky elevations. In fact, however, it is an 
immense plateau having a mean elevation of 6,500 
ft. above the sea-level. From this plateau the Rocky 
Mts. rise in ridges and groups which are designated 
by various local names. In the S.E. are the Black 
Hills (Rocky Mtn. group), terminating in Laramie 
Peak, which has an elevation of 10,000 ft., and the 
Medicine Bow Mts. In the N.E. are the Black Hills 
(Dakota group), of which Inyan Kara is 6,600 ft. 
high. The Big Horn Mts. occupy the N. district ; 
and in the W. and N.W. are the Wind River Range 
and the Snow Mts., or Sierra Shoshone. Among the 
most elevated summits are Fremont's Peak (13,570 
ft.), Washakee Needles (12,253), Mount Sheridan 
(10,420), Mount Doane (10,118), Mount Washburne 
(10,105), and Sailor Mtn. (10,046). In the snow cov- 
ered mountains of N.W. "Wyo., within a radius of ten 
miles, the head-streams of three of the great rivers 
of America take their rise — viz., the Yellowstone, 
flowing into the Missouri, the Snake, into the Col- 
umbia, and the Green, into the Colorado. The Green 
R. drains a basin in the S.W. 223 m. long and 75 m. 
wide, which was formerly the bed of a lake. The 
Yellowstone Basin has an area of 5,000 sq. m. The 
Wind and Big Horn Rs. (which empty into the Yel- 
lowstone in Montana) drain a district 176 m. long 
and 125 m. wide in the N. The S.E. section, 204 m. 
long and 173 m. wide, belongs to the North Platte 
Basin. All of these rivers have numerous tributaries, 
affording abundant water power, but Wyo. contains 
no navigable streams. A dense growth of coniferous 
trees clothes the mountains ; the timber line is at an

elevation of from 9,400 to 9,900 ft. From the moun- 
tain pines is obtained " th e finest timber in the world. " 
Cottonwood flourishes along the streams. The Big 
Horn Basin is scantily wooded. Game is plentiful, 
including the antelope, bear, bison, big horn or 
mountain sheep, beaver, deer, elk, grouse, etc. — The 
mountains abound in a great variety of minerals 
having large present or prespeetive value. Iron is 
found in many localities and various in kind ; the 
most important deposit being the so-called " Iron 
mountain,'-' located in the Laramie range of moun- 
tains, some 25 m. N. of the U.P.RR. This is a mag- 
netic ore very rich in metallic iron, though a little 
difficult of working, owing to the presence of titanic 
acid. There is also a very interesting deposit of iron 
in the form of red oxide, very near the railway at 
Rawlins, which has been utilized already to some 
extent for the manufacture of a very superior brown- 
ish-red paint. Coal abounds in many portions of 
Wyo., and in quality compares favorably with the 
best coals hitherto found west of Indiana. Indeed, 
the whole Territory might be considered one vast 
coal basin without any very improper use of terms. 
They are variously classifiable as lignites, brown, 
semi-bituminous and bituminous ; though in general 
terms, they are bituminous. They are mined at var- 
ious points on the line of the railway ; the yield for 
the year 1880, was 589,595 tons valued at .$1,080,451. 
Petroleum is likely to become an important product, 
although but little has yet been accomplished. Springs 
yielding a very superior quality of lubricating oil 
have been improved in the narrow valley of the 
Popo-Agie (a tributary of the Wind R.), and the pro- 
duct is now in use by the Union Pacific railway 
company, who express the opinion that it is equal, if 
not superior, to the best lubricating oils of West 
Virginia. Gold and silver are found in nearly every 
mountain range. At a number of places in the Medi- 
cine Bow, Wind River, Big Horn, Seminole, and 
Laramie Mts., gold has been discovered in paying 
quantities, and in the first two ranges mentioned it 
has already been mined with profit. In that portion 
of the famous Black Hills, which lies on the Wyo. 
side of the boundary between it and Dakota, recent 
discoveries encourage the opinion that an important 
gold district is destined to be opened there. Copper, 
asphaltum, graphite, soda, sulphur, and mica 
abound. — The climate varies with the altitude, being 
severe on the higher mountains and comparatively 
mUd in the sheltered valleys. The air is pure and 
bracing, but little rain falls. The mean temperature 
at Cheyenne (lat. 41° 12', Ion. 104° 42', altitude 6,058 
ft.) is abt. 44°; total rain fall 12 inches. In 1880 the 
mean temperature of July, the warmest month, was 
70.6°; of Jan., the coldest, 11° 8°; maximum observed, 
97° (in July) ; minimum, — 37° (in Jan.). The numer- 
ous valleys of the Platte, the two Laramies, the 
Green, the Sweetwater, the Bear, the Snake, the 
Wind, the Big Horn, the Powder, the Tongue, and 
the Cheyenne Rs., and their hundreds of tributaries, 
afford exceedingly productive soils, which, with con- 
venient irrigation and proper cultivation, can be 
made to yield fine crops of wheat, rye, oats, barley, 
the tame grasses, potatoes, and many other crops 
grown in the north temperate zone. Cultivation of 
those above mentioned has already been commenced 
at several places with the most gratifying results. 
The lateness of the spring and the early coming of 
frosts in the fall, preclude the successful growth of 
Indian corn and the more tender fruits. The valleys 
and plains together furnish the best cattle and sheep 
ranges in the world. The native grasses are not only 
the most nutritious known, but the climate is such 
(being dry in the autumn) that they cure before the 
coming of snow ; thus furnishing the herds which 
roam over the plains a standing hay of such quality 
that feeding of cattle during the winter is unknown. 



Sometimes a fall of snow, succeeded by thawing, 
freezing so as to form a crust, necessitates the feed- 
ing of a very little hay to sheep less than the strong- 
est, but this is exceptional. The number of farm ani- 
mals in 1880 was 11,975 horses ; 671 mules ; 718 work- 
ing oxen; 3,730 milch cows; 273,625 other cattle; 
140,225 sheep ; and 567 hogs. — According to census 
returns, Wyo. had, in 1880, 57 manuf. establish- 
ments, employing 391 hands; capital invested $364,- 
673 ; wages paid during they ear, $187,798 ; value 
of materials, $601,214 ; value of products, $898,494. 
The grazing of cattle for beef, the breeding of horses, 
and the production of wool, constitute the leading 
industry of Wyo.; mining, lumbering, manufactur- 
ing, and agriculture, ranking afterward, in the order 
of mention. Since the organization of the Territory, 
numerous villages have sprung up along the line of 
the Union Pacific railroad, which, for a distance of 
465 m ., traverses the southern portion, with present 
populations of 200 to 4,000, and with numerous hand- 
some business blocks and private residences ; two 
other railroads, both leading into Colorado, as well 
as many wagon roads through the Territory, have 
been built ; and there is now an aggregate of wealth 
but little short of $20,000,000. In 1882 the Territory 
had 533 m. of railroad in operation. — The schools are 
modelled after the very best in the country, well 
supported, well taught, free to all pupils, and fully 
attended under a compulsory law, and the yet more 
potent influence of public sentiment. Churches are 
numerous and liberally supported. — The territory is 
divided into 7 cos., viz.: Albany, Carbon, Crook, 
Johnson, Laramie, Sweetwater, and Uintah. The 
principal towns are Cheyenne (the cap.), Laramie 
City, Sherman, Rawlins, Carbon, South Pass City, 
Rock Springs, Green River City, Atlantic City, and 
Evanston. "The Territorial administration of public 
affairs is in the hands of officers appointed by the 
president for the term of 4 years. The legislature is 
chosen by the people, though paid by the federal 
government. Taxes are light and the Territory is free 
from debt. The laws are characterized by exceptional 
liberality ; conferring equal politicial privileges upon 
all persons of suitable age, regardless of sex, color, or 
condition. — In a report addressed in Sept., 1881, to the 
secretary of the interior, the governor of Wyo, Mr. 
John W. Hoyt, sums as follows the progress and 
present condition of the Territory : "The mountain 
of Wyo. are stored with all manner of hidden quarries 
and precious minerals, while yet clothed with grass 
or studded with magnificent forests ; in her rich val- 
leys lie the possibilities of a marvelous productive- 
ness, needing but the help of the abundant waters 
and the faithful care of the husbandman to give them 
early realization ; her boundless plains, vaster in ag- 
gregate area than the whole of New York or even 
Illinois, without thought or effort on the part of 
man, afford nutritious summer and winter food for 
countless flocks and herds ; vaster coal-fields than 
manufacturing England can boast of, as well as 
water-powers mighty and numberless, impatiently 
await the energy and genius of her sturdy sons to 
make their force available for the production of 
wonders in the world of the mechanic arts ; her cli- 
mate, so mild that it permits the grazing of tender 
flocks in winter, is yet cool, delightful and invigora- 
ting in summer ; and finally, here, at this grand ele- 
vation, in the midst of scenery where the sublime 
and the beautiful meet and mingle evermore, her 
people established institutions and enacted laws 
which have placed her at the fore in the march of 
civilization. The material advancement of Wyo. has 
not been more marked than its social progress. Like 
all new communities on the line of great public im- 
provements, ours has had much to contend with.

shipping post for an extensive region of country, 
including the Black Hills, was also seat and center 
of the most appalling vice. Nightly bravi^ls and mid- 
day murders had their course^ until vigilance com- 
mittees with most fearful measures were forced to 
the front for their suppression. As the railroad push- 
ed on its way, other towns were subjected to this 
same visitation of outlaws of every sort, and suffered 
in like manner until heroic remedies were again em- 
ployed. To-day the face of things is changed. Thieves 
but seldom venture, and road-agents are no longer 
heard of. No village of New England is more orderly 
than this " magic city" of the Plains and the others 
which lie beyond. Most liberal provision is made for 
the unfortunate classes of every kind. Obligatory 
school attendance is enforced with the hearty ap- 
proval of citizens. Libraries for the public use, with 
literary and musical associations for their support as 
well as for the encouragement of intellectual and 
aesthetic culture on the part of the people generally, 
have been formed ; while at the capital has been es- 
tablished and incorporated a Territorial "Academy 
of Sciences, Arts, and Letters," the leading objects 
of which are declared to be the encouragement of 
historical and scientific research ; the development 
of the practical industries of Wyo. and the enlarge- 
ment of the Territorial library. None who for any 
reason desire a footing in Wyo. need hesitate longer 
on account of the social state. It is already good 
and is rapidly advancing." — Wyo. was organized as 
a Territory, from parts of Dakoto, by act of con- 
gress, July 25, 1868, and is the youngest member of 
the Union. Pop. in 18T0, 9,118 ; in 1880, 20,789 (of 
whom 14,152 males and 6,637 females ; 14,939 natives 
and 5,850 of foreign birth ; 19,437 whites, 298 colored,

"fVyoming Valley, Pa., a beautiful and re-

and a length of 21 m. It is traversed by the 
North branch of the Susquehanna R., has the 
form of a very long oval or ellipse, and is enclosed 
by ranges of rugged mountains abt. 1,000 ft. high. 
The ridge on the S.E., called the Wyoming Mts., 
is celebrated for its inexhaustible mines of anthra- 
cite coal of the best quality. The river enters the 
upper end of the valley through a bold moun- 
tain-pass known as the Lackawannock Gap, and 
passes out of its lower end, and through another 
opening in the same mountain called Nanticoke Gap. 
Near the center of the valley it has a rapid, called 
the Wyoming Falls, and another at the lower gap, 
called the Nanticoke Falls, several tributary streams 
fall into it on each side, after traversing rock passes, 
and forming beautiful cascades as they descend to 
the plain. The massacre of Wyoming, which has 
given the valley a melancholy prominence in history, 
and which forms the theme of Campbell's "Ger- 
trude of Wyoming," occurred on July 3, 1778.

3 wkly papers, 4 large g.ain elevators, railroad ma- 
chine shops, a foundry and machine shop, 2 brew- 
eries, 2 flour-mills, &c. It is the point of reshipment 
of government supplies for many military posts and 
Indian agencies, and is also a depot of supplies for 
the Black Hills. It derives its name from the Yank- 
ton band of Sioux Indians, who formerly occupied 
the site as their council ground. It was first settled 
in 1859, and was incorporated as a city In 1873. Pop. 
in 1870, 737 ; in 1880, 3,431.

Yellowstone ]\ational Park is 65 m. 
N. and S. by 55 m. E. and W., comprises 3,575 
sq. m., and is in the N.W. corner of Wyoming. 
It is by far the most marvelous collection of 
geysers, hot springs, and other volcanic pheno- 
mena, upon the globe. This region was, by act 
of congress passed in the winter of 1871-72, re- 
served from settlement, and constituted a National 
Park. Nearly all of it is in Wyoming, a narrow strip 
extending westward over into Idaho and Montana, 
and northward into the latter Territory. " Its sur- 
face" says Mr. Robert P. Porter " is mainly a high 
rolling plateau, broken by several isolated groups of 
mountains, Avhile along its eastern border rises the 
high and rugged Yellowstone Range. The mean ele- 
vation of the Park above the sea is abt. 8,000 ft.; 
while the highest mountains rise to 11,000 and 12,000 
ft. Almost its whole extent, both of plains and 
mountains, is covered with dense forests, so dense 
that for days one may travel without seeing a land- 
mark, and is guided only by the sun or the compass. 
In these high plateaux and mountains, the Snake, 
Yellowstone, Gallatin, and Madison have their ut- 
most sources, whence they flow off to the arid plains 
below. In these forests and mountain recesses still 
remain in abundance the large game of the countrj' 
— moose, elk, deer, mountain sheep, bears, panthers, 
and wild-cats. It is the hunter's paradise. Within 
very recent geologic times, this region has been the 
scene of remarkable volcanic activity. It is almost 
entirely overlaid by volcanic rock, outflows of lava 
from some copious rents now concealed. The coun- 
try is honeycombed with hot epiings: on the plains, 
in the deepest recesses of the forest, on the moun- 
tains, even on their loftiest summits, and even in the 
beds of the lakes and streams, they are boiling and 
bubbling. There are springs of water and of mud ; 
there are calcareous, siliceous, sulphurous, and 
iron springs everywhere and in infinite variety. 
They agree in only one particular; they are all 
hot. While there is scarcely a square mile of the 
Park that does not contain more or less springs, 
there are certain localities where they are group- 
ed in large numbers, and show greater activity 
than elsewhere. It is in these placers that geysers 
are found. The principal of these localities are : 
the White Mtn., or Mammoth, Hot Springs, the 
Gibbon, Lower and Upper Geyser basins, the Shos- 
hone basin, the Heart Lake group, and the Mud gey- 
sers. The first named of these is near the N. boun- 
dary of the park, on Gardiner's R. The springs 
(there are here no geysers) are calcareous ; and the 
waters deposit freely, having built a hill a hundred 
ft. or more in height, of a dazzling whiteness, except 
where striped by bands of yellow, red, and green, 
from the sulphur and iron deposited. The springs 
issue from the top of this mound, the water flowing 
down its sides, through a succession of basins, all 
beautifully bordered and scalloped. The Gibbon 
basin, near the head of one of the branches of the 
Madison R. , is rather a congeries of groups of springs, 
scattered over a large area. This basin contains a 
number of geysers of considerable power, throwing 
water to nearly or quite a hundred ft. The water con- 
tains very little matter of any kind in solution ; and

consequently the deposits are very slight. The Upper 
and Lower Geyser basins are situated on the Firehole, 
a head branch of the Madison R. They are abt. ten 
miles apart ; but there are springs all along the valley 
connecting them. All over the valley rise clouds of 
steam from the springs, which, on frosty mornings, 
forms a dense fog, filling the valleys. It is in these 
basins that the greatest activity in the region is mani- 
fested. They contain thousands of hot springs, from 
the size of a horse's hoof to hot lakes covering sev- 
eral acres. The geysers ai-e numbered by the score. 
They throw columns of water to various heights, 
ranging from a few ft. only, up to 250 ft. Some of the 
minor ones are perpetual spouters ; but most of 
them, and all the powerful ones, play only at inter- 
vals ranging from an hour to several days. One of 
the most powerful, and perhaps the most interesting, 
is that known as "Old Faithful," whose interval be- 
tween eruptions is almost exactly iifty-eight minutes, 
and which throws water to a height of 150 ft. An- 
other most beautiful one, known as the "Beehive," 
from the shape of its cone, plays at irregular inter- 
vals, and throws water sometimes to a height exceed- 
ing 200 ft. Another, the " Castle," has built about 
Itself an immense mass of deposit, from which or- 
dinarily it throws an irregular mass of water 20 to 30 
ft. ; but on special occasions, it sends an enormous 
column up, fully 250 ft. skywards. Of the many 
geysers of this valley, each possesses an individuality; 
but space forbids any further mention of them. Fur- 
ther south, on the shore of Shoshone Lake, one of 
the many beautiful sheets of water which diversify 
the surface of the Park, is another group of springs 
and geysers, possessing many unique features. The 
Heart Lake group lies in a narrow belt along a gulch 
leading down to Heart Lake. There are but two or 
three geysers in this group, which is remarkable 
chiefly for the beauty of the deposits. The hot springs 
and geysers are not the only wonders and attractions 
of this remarkable region. To the lover of natural 
scenery, it is almost without a peer in its mountains, 
lakes, waterfalls, and caiions. Yellowstone Lake, at 
an elevation of 7,788 ft. above the sea, is the largest 
body of water at that elevation on the continent. It 
is 22 by 15 ni. in extent with a maximum depth of 
300 ft., and has a very irregular shape, with long 
arms, reaching far inland, and enclosing mountains 
in its 'grasp. It contains immense numbers of salmon 
trout. The Upiier Yellowstone, the ultimate source 
of the Yellowstone R., flows into the lake from the 
S.E. after a course of 25 m.; and from its N. end the 
Yellowstone R. emerges in its course of abt. 600 m., 
to the Missouri, which it joins on the border of Mon- 
tana and Dakota. It is navigable to near the mouth 
of the Big Horn, abt. 300 m. above the Missouri. The 
Yellowstone Park also contains Shoshone, Lewis, and 
Heart Lakes, beautiful sheets of water, lying hemmed 
in by the hills, their deep blue color contrasting finely 
with the black green of the forests which surround 
them. At the distance of a day's drive down the 
Yellowstone from the lake, the river, heretofore 
calm and peaceful, becomes fretted by rapids, and 
then suddenly plunges over a cliff 112 ft. in height. 
A half-mile of quiet meandering follows, when the 
great stream suddenly, and without warning, rolls 
over a second cliff 300 ft. in height, into adeep gorge 
1,000 ft. from top to bottom, down which it rushes 
and roars in a madly tumultuous course. These are 
the Great Falls and the Grand Caiion of the Yellow- 
stone. The latter is carved out of a volcanic plateau ; 
its walls are the most rugged of cliffs, unscalable ex- 
cept in one or two places. This caiion extends .some 
12 to 15 m. down the river, and is closely followed by 
others, so that, throughout the balance of its course 
in the Park, there are few points at which this stream 
reaches the sunlight. Besides these, there is a fine 
fall of more than a hundred ft. upon Tower creek. 



a large branch of the Yellowstone, and other smaller 
ones in various parts of the Park. The Park is not at 
present easily accessible. It can be traversed only 
on horseback and with a pack train ; and conse- 
quently comparatively few have yet seen its won- 
ders." It was visited in Aug., 1883, by President 
Arthur. The best way to reach it is via the N.P.RR. ta 
Livingston, and its National Park Branch to Mam- 
moth Hot Sprinsrs, where saddle ponies and guides 
can be obtained for visiting the various points of 
interest not reached by the stage line.

Yosemite Valley, Cal, a valley or chasm situ- 
ated in Mariposa co., on Merced R., 140 m. E. by S. 
from San Francisco, but over 220 m. from that city by 
any of the usually traveled routes. It is on the W. 
slope of the Sierra Nevada, midway between its E. 
and W. base, and nearly in the center of the State, 
measuring N. and S. The valley is a nearly level area, 
abt. 6 m. in length, and from a half to a mile in width, 
and almost a mile in perpendicular depth below the 
general level of the adjacent region, and inclosed in 
frowning granite walls rising with almost unbroken 
and perpendicular faces to the dizzy height of from 
3,000 to 6,000 ft. From the brow of the precipices in 
several places spring streams of water which, in sea- 
sons of rains and melted snow, form cataracts of a 
beauty and magnificence surpassing anything known 
in mountain scenery. " The principal features of the 
Yosemite," says Professor J. D. Whitney, "and those 
by which it is distinguished from all other known 
valleys, are : 1. The near approach to verticality of 
its walls ; 2. Their great height, not only absolutely, 
but as compared with the width of the valley itself; 
and 3. The small amount of debris at the base of 
these gigantic cliffs. These are the great characteris- 
tics of the Yosemite region, throughout its whole 
length ; but, besides these, there are many other 
striking peculiarities and features, both of sublimity 
and beauty, which can hardly be surpassed, if equaled 
by those of any mountain valleys in the world. Water- 
falls in the vicinity of the Yosemite, surpassing in 
beauty many of the best known and most visited in 
Europe, are actually left entirely unnoticed by 
travelers, because there are so many other objects of 
interest to be visited that it is impossible to find time 
for them all." The valley is almost one vast flower- 
garden. Plants, shrubs, and flowers of every hue cover 
the ground like a carpet ; the eye is dazzled by the 
brilliancy of the color, and the air is heavy with the 
fragrance of a million blossoms. Trees of several 
centuries' growth raise their tall heads heavenward, 
yet, beside and in comparison with the vast perpen- 
dicular clefts of rocks, they look like daisies beside a 
tall pine. On every side are seen the beautiful and 
many colored manzanita and trees of such shape 
and variety as are nowhere seen in the Atlantic 
States. The Yosemite was discovered in the spring 
of 1851 by a party under the command of Captain Bol- 
ing, in pursuit of a band of predatory Indians, who 
made it their stronghold, considering it inaccessible 
to the whites. By an act of congress passed in 1864, 
the Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Big 
Trees were granted to the State of California upon 
the express condition that they shall be kept "for 
public use, resort, and recreation," and shall be 
" inalienable for all time." One of the most attractive 
features of the Yosemite is the fall made by the de- 
scent of Yosemite Creek down the wall on the N. side 
of the valley. The vertical elevation of the edge of this 
fall is 2,600 feet,but the descent is not in one unbroken 
sheet. There is first a vertical fall of 1,500 feet, then a 



YOU

YRE 



descent of 626 feet in a series of cascades, and finally 
one plunge of 400 feet on to a low talus of rocks at 
the foot of the precipice. The body of water is not 
large, and it decreases considerably as the season 
advances, becoming very small in ordinary years by 
the end of August. The width of the stream above 
the fall is usually, in June and July, about 20 feet, 
and its depth perhaps 2 feet. The beauty and grandeur 
of this fall, however, taken in connection with the 
majesty of Its surroundings, give it a claim to be 
ranked among the most remarkable natural objects 
in the world. To reach the Yosemite Valley the 
C.P.RR. should be ieft at Madera, where all trains 
are met by flrst-class Concord coaches in charge of 
competent drivers. The distance to be traveled is 
abt. 75 m. each way.

Yti'ba, Cal., a river formed by the confluence 

of the N., Middle and S. forks. The former runs 
through Sierra en., the Middle fork forms the boun- 
dary between Sierra and Nevada cos., and the latter 
traverses Nevada co. The three forks flow through 
deep, canon-like gorges. The united stream joins 
Feather R. at a point just below Yuba Citj-. 
— a N.E. CO., bounded S. by Bear R., W. by Feather 
R.. and intersected by Yuba R., a tributary of the 
latter ; area, 700 sq. ra. The N.E. portion lies in the 
foot hills and lower slopes of the Sierra Nevada ; the 
rest of the co. is occupied by the extensive and fer- 
tile valleys of the streams. There is some mining. 
The chief prod, in 1880 were 218,458 bush, of barley, 
359,967 of wheat, 23,210 of oats, and 12,220 of corn; 
l)iitter and wool are also staple prod. Cap., Marys-

Colorado R., and intersected by the Gila ; area, 29,300 
sq. m. The valley of the Colorado is from 2 to 10 m. 
wide ; that of the Gila from 1 to 3 m. These valleys, 
with irrigation, are very productive. The rest of the 
CO. consists mostly of high table lands, with frequent 
broken mountains, and is generally destitute of 
water. A part of the year these table lands are cov- 
ered with grass. The climate in summer is very hot 
and dry ; in winter it is mild and healthful. Gold, sil- 
ver, copper and lead are found in lodes near the 
Colorado, and there are extensive deposits of copper 
along the S. border. Cap., Yuma. Val. of taxable

Yu'ma>«, a tribe of Indians, settled on both sides 
of the Colorado R., near its junction with the Gila, 
calling themselves the " Sons of the River." They 
are also termed Cuchans. Since they came under 
the dominion of the U. States they have been faithful 
to the Americans with the exception of a short rising 
in 1853 ; but owing to the vicinity of Fort Yuma, the 
women have been completely debauched, so that the 
whole tribe is now diseased and rapidly dying out. 
Their number is actually scarcely 900.

Muskingum, here crossed by 4 bridges, is navigable 
for steamboats from its mouth to Dresden, 15 m. 
above Zanesville, where is a navigable side cut of 
abt. 24 m., to the Ohio Canal. Steamers run regularly

The Zanesville Athenaeum has a I'eading room and a 
library of 6,000 volumes. The chief interest is manu- 
facturing, for which extensive facilities are afforded 
by the considerable water-power in the rivers, and 
an abundant supply of bituminous coid in the hills 
which surround the city, rendering steam power 
cheaply and easily available. The manuf. embraces 
furnaces, rolling-mills, stationary and portable en- 
gines, castings and hollow ware, burial cases, floor-
